I have insomnia. No matter what prescriptions I take I cannot sleep well. What are some nonaddictive remedies?
I’ve tried melatonin, Trazadone, Sleep Aids, etc.
Insomnia, headaches and migraines, digestive troubles and constipation, bloating and cramping, achy bones and moodiness and irritability are all symptoms of calcium deficiency. For calcium to be effectively absorbed it is essential for the human body to have sufficient supplies of vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin)
Sooooo eat more calcium rich foods ie ~ leafy and green vegies, cold water fishes such as sardines and salmon, organic almonds and sunflower seeds and walnuts, peanuts, dried beans , kale, broccoli and collard greens.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin D too ie ~ fish oils and cold water fishes such as salmon….. or simply get 10 – 15 minutes of safe sun exposure daily.
Carbonated drinks ie ~ sodas and soft drinks and antacids such as Mylanta, and also caffeine will rob you of your precious calcium supplies … With carbonated drinks they leach the calcium from our bones and caffeine inhibits calciums absorption.
Calcium is needed in our bodies to maintain strong bones and healthy teeth, to keep your heart beating regularly, help metabolize your body’s iron and aiding your nervous system with impulse transmissions.
Do you also suffer from fatigue and exhaustion, dizzy spells, excessive feelings of being cold, nasty headaches??? If so, these are all symptoms of iron deficiency anemia …… without calcium your iron absorption will be inhibited.
Pump up you fresh filtered water intake too as the healthiest and happiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) work together to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is essential for restful REM sleep, so take a multi B complex supplement that includes all the B’s at least 2 – 3 hours before bedtime, ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12…… do not buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually unless under instructions from a qualified practitioner or naturopath as the B complex all work best as a group.
Organic loose leaf chamomile tea (only organic will have therapeutic value as the commercial varieties have had way too much of the goodness pulverised from them) does wonderfull things for soothing frazzled nerves and calming a stressed body…… Organic Chamomile tea will also soothe headaches, indigestion and stomach pains of any sort and brilliant as a hot tea inhalant to relieve hayfever and other allergic conditions of the eyes, nose and lungs.
If you choose to use the organic loose leaf chamomile tea simply put 2 teaspoons full into a teapot, fill with boiled water and brew as you would a normal pot of tea for 10 – 15 minutes ……….. the taste is a bit bland so perhaps spice it up with raw organic honey or a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice ♥
Foods rich in Tryptophan will help induce natural sleep and aid in reducing anxiety and tension.
Avoid caffeine for a few hours before bedtime too.
foods rich in Tryptophan are ~ bananas, cottage cheese, milk, meat, fish, turkey, bananas, dried dates, peanuts and all protein rich foods …………. turkey sandwiches for supper may just do the trick buddy……… :0)
Naturally resolving the problem will always be the best way …. :0)
Sweet DReams
peace baby
