Some household remidies against Insomnia

             

A herbal bath can soothe your nerves and relieve insomnia. Boil 2 ounces of Balm leaves in water for a few minutes and then let steep for 20 minutes. Strain and add to your bath water. Your bath water should be warm, but not hot, as the latter could stimulate rather than soothe.


Make a tea out of one or better a mix of several of the following herbs: Balm, Catnip, Chamomile, Cowslip, Hops, Linden, Melissa, Passionflower and Valerian. Start drinking it in the evening, about 3 hours before you go to sleep.


Inositol, one of the B vitamins, as well as pantothenic acid, both help induce healthy sleep. Try one or even both together. Inositol: 1 to 3 grams an hour before bedtime. Pantothenic Acid: 1/2 to 2 grams an hour before going to sleep.


Tryptophan is a natural amino acid, which induces healthy sleep. Combined with calcium it can be even more effective. Turkey, milk and cheese are excellent sources of tryptophan and calcium. Thus, try to eat a turkey or cheese sandwich together with a glass of warm milk one hour before you sleep.


Massage the soles of your feet with mustard oil at bedtime.
