How Homeopathy can help you sleep?

It’s a well-known fact that sleep is a rejuvenating process and that adequate and consistent sleep patterns are crucial for optimal functionality of the organs of the body. A change in the sleep pattern may aggravate existing health conditions or lead to new ones.

Sleep is essential for overall health and wellbeing. It allows the mind and the body to repair, and refresh. Without sufficient sleep, the brain will not function at its best, and this could have a detrimental effect on focus, clarity of thought, emotional stability, and memory.

How stress impacts sleep patterns and quality?

Stress is the body’s response to any alarming or challenging situation. Along with sleep, it impacts overall health too. It makes people react, and not respond. In challenging or trying situations, stress is known to lead to rash decisions.

Physiologically, when we are faced with a stressful or challenging situation, the brain triggers the ‘fight-or-flight’ response, which commences with the body releasing hormones such as adrenaline. These may cause a rise in blood pressure, muscle tension, breathing and heart rate, and blood sugar. Also, they may lead to higher levels of alertness, decreased sensitivity to pain etc. Body energy gets directed away from processes which the mind decides, are not urgent, such as healing of a wound.

Stress and sleep are closely related. High levels of stress mostly lead to sleeplessness, and poor-quality or insufficient sleep can lead to adjustment disorders as a response to stress. Exposure to prolonged and repeated stress-triggers, leads to chronic stress, which is known to take a toll on physical health.

What other triggers can lead to insomnia?

The most common triggers include:

• Stress arising out of challenging situations at home, school, or work
• Poor or inconsistent sleep schedule
• Erratic work schedule
• Poor sleeping habits
• Physical ailments
• Physical pain
• Emotional turmoil
• Anxiety, depression, and other neurological disorders

Lifestyle changes and other preventive measures that could help you sleep better :

• Try and maintain regular sleep timings
• Keep the ambience in your bedroom, subtle, calm, and peaceful
• Ensure that the bed, mattress and pillows you use, are comfortable
• Avoid friction, confrontations, or disturbing communications in the later part of the day

• Do not exercise just before bedtime
• Have a warm shower before bedtime
• Relaxing fragrances such as lavender can help manage insomnia symptoms
• Retire early
• Do not read in bed

• Consuming warm milk or herbal tea before bedtime may help

Homeopathy for Insomnia

Homeopathy is the gentlest form of medicine known to mankind. It works on the philosophy of respecting the body’s wisdom “to protect and heal itself”, which is facilitated by tiny amounts of natural products in a highly potent form. An infinitesimal dose of this medicine heals and balances the system by working with body’s vital force, from within.

Homeopathy for insomnia follows a holistic approach where disturbed sleep is a part of the larger clinical picture. There are no sleeping pills here, to come to the rescue, rather details of sleep patterns are taken into consideration along with several other factors a few of which are mentioned below:

• Does the patient feel warm or cold
• Does he/she get nightmares
• Is the physical restlessness due to any other ailment/s
• Does he/she suffer from anxiety
• Is there difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep?
