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.
