Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hi Shannon, I'm new to the list (just joined today) so I'm a little surprised I've found something I can put my 2 cents in on so soon! I know this is a herbal remedy list and I haven't had a chance to browse the messages section to see if homeopathics are discussed but I'm just going to plow ahead anyway. I, for some reason, have kids who don't sleep. So I'm very familiar with the insomnia "thing". I have used homeopathic remedies regularly since introduced to them when my first was born 6 1/2 years ago. If you can find one that matches your symptoms, it should work wonders. Chamomilla was a dream for my first daughter. Coffee Cruda puts my 2 year old out every time. I personally use Nux Vomica for those times I can't sleep. Since the symptoms change from day to day and person to person, these aren't always the appropriate ones each time and then we have to hunt for another that matches more closely. If you can't find a specific homeopathic remedy that matches your particular symptoms, there are several combination remedies that give good results. Hope that helps!

I have been taking Melatonin and Valerian Root capsules which help me get to sleep sometimes. Other nights, they don't have much effect. What to do?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I haven't been sleeping consistently well for the past two years or so. Sometimes I think that I have kicked it and then the insomnia comes back. I don't feel depressed or unhappy. At this point part of my problem is anxiety about not sleeping, which causes me not to sleep. Before I got to bed, I am worried about not sleeping. Lying in bed not sleeping, all I can think about is how tired & miserable I'll be the next day. Circular. I get regular exercise (swimming and walking) which sometimes helps and other days makes me too energetic. I just turned 28 and I have no specific health problems. Other than that I have a loving husband, flexible job and lots of friends.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Kelly, Homeopathics are discussed here from time to time... it is okay... what we try to do is to find the "cause" of the problem to "cure" the problem.. or at least that is the hope of this list to help everyone get to the root of what is causing the problem so that it can be fixed...and not keep putting a bandaid on the problem.. like what the "medicos" do alot of the time... i.e., oh, you have a headache - take a pain pill.... instead of take the pain pill BUT let's see what exactly is causing your problem ... Keep "putting in your 2 cents" - we all love input..and learn from each other.. and welcome to our group. When you get time browse the files...there is a wealth of info there...and in the message archives as well..

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Hi Shannon, I use Chamomile tea with honey, hot milk with honey, or a calcium/magnesium drink for getting a good night's sleep. I alternate between those, depending on my taste buds at the time LOL. Lisa - shannongwolfe herbal remedies Tuesday, April 08, 2003 12:13 AM [herbal remedies] Insomnia?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Sometimes we also need a break from the remedies that help us sleep. Try taking a few days off from the valerian and melatonin. In the meantime, try some chamomile or lavender. When I have trouble sleeping I diffuse essential oils of Cedar and Bergamot. They do wonders...knocks me out cold. Sleep aids...whether natural or not, should only be used to snap you out of a bout of sleeplessness...not to be used as a permanent cure. You'll find yourself both depending on them as well as needing more and more to get the same effect.
