Herbal Supplements and your Sleep
A bad night equals
a bad day. Most of us have probably experienced a bad, tightening headache
after a sleepless night which persists and worsens during the day and which
bothers you in work, play and other daily activities. If you always experience
lack of sleep, you are not alone. Every year, 50-70 million Americans seek help
for their sleeping problems, which pull out a large sum of money from their
pockets.
There are many treatments for sleeping problems available. One is the use of psychotherapy, which often consists of regular, expensive visits to a psychotherapist’s clinic. Another is in the form of sleeping pills, which works only for short-term, but has the danger of making the user dependent to it in the long run. In addition, there are some side effects related to it and often, the person develops resistance to these drugs over time. Thus there is constantly a quest for newer therapies for insomnia which can regulate the sleeping cycle of every insomniac for long-term.
But do you know
that there are some herbs which can actually regulate our sleeping pattern?
One such herb is
the Linden Tree or Lime Tree. It is a well-known tree since early civilization.
It is a sacred tree which symbolizes love, so that during the Medieval Ages,
lovers swore eternal love in the shade of the Linden Tree.
The Linden Tree is a tall tree with big, heart shaped leaves and yellowish-white flowers with a strong perfume. The Linden Tree flowers are rich in sugar, gallic acid, and catechol acids and essential oils, which gives this plant neurosedative and antispastic properties and can also reduce inflammations of the respiratory system. Because of these active substances, it is used as a sedative for insomnia because of its calming effect.
Another herb being used in insomnia is the fig. Figs are 50 ft-tall trees with muscular branches. What is interesting about Fig is that it contains a lot of nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, Vitamin B6, iron and magnesium. It is also rich in pectin, which is a form of fibre that helps reduce blood cholesterol. Figs contain a substance called Tryptophan, which promotes good sleep and helps the brain utilize glucose properly thus encouraging and stimulating good circulation. Fig also contains iron, which enriches the blood and makes the body well-oxygenated at all time. Fig also is a source of energy because it contains 80% of water, thus it is considered a good brain stimulant and makes one alert at all times. It also contains 60% natural sugar, so that it fuels the brain to think fast and recall information quickly. It also clears up the skin and helps prevent acne and other skin problems.
Recent
technological breakthroughs in science has permitted scientists to make the
substances found in these herbs potent, so as to achieve a maximum effect on
your health. The latest breakthrough in plant research is the use of plant stem
cells therapy, a form of therapy which uses extracts from buds, young shoots
and young roots. These plant parts were chosen to be made into extracts because
they were believed to be the center of a plant’s energy and thus, they are the
main source of therapeutic effects. These parts, made into plant stem cells,
also differ from the adult plant parts because they are less exposed to toxins
and pollution.
Now, the combined power of Linden tree and Fig plant stem cells extracts are here in the market, in the form of the Sleep alpha complex. The Sleep alpha complex is marketed by PSC Distribution LLC, and is being marketed as a Sleep Complex supplement. It enhances the quality of your sleep due to the combination of two buds: Linden Tree, with its calming properties and Fig, which improves the oneiric function (dream state) and has a calming effect on the nervous system as a whole. It can also be recommended to children
The complex is
taken 10-40 drops taken ½ hour before bedtime in a ¼ glass of spring or filtered
water or directly into the mouth and held there for enough time to take three
deep breaths, then you must let it dissipate to be sublingually absorbed.
Dosage in children is reduced to 1/3 of the adult dosage.
