YOUR Sleep – from insomnia, fatigue, anxiety to refreshing mornings again
Our quality of sleep can have a huge impact on how we function on a daily basis; from our productivity levels, to how we manage stress. You might find it difficult to get to sleep initially, have trouble staying asleep, wake up too early, or just awake unrefreshed from a night of tossing and turning.
It is often difficult to pinpoint an exact cause and there are likely to be several contributing factors. The prominent ones are physical accidents, fatigue, emotional disturbance like anger, grief, fright, anticipation, overuse of stimulants like coffee and alcohol, as well as a huge number of medical reasons (like heart diseases, breathing disorders, thyroid problems, and rheumatoid arthritis, menopause just to name a few). Insomnia is also one of the major concerns in elderly people.
How can homeopathy help you fix it?
Homeopathic medicines are of great help in the treatment of Insomnia, have no side effects, and work to strike out the root cause of Insomnia. Homeopathic remedies are very beneficial in both inducing sleep as well as improving the quality of sleep. What’s more, Homeopathic remedies for insomnia do not cause any psychological or physical dependency. Once the problem has been resolved, one can gradually stop the medication, or take it intermittently, if needed. Homeopathy also works especially well for chronic sleep issues and can help resolve the problem for good. You can try to use these well-known natural remedies to help you get to sleep more easily.
For a more long-term approach, it is best to consult with a professional homeopath to find an individual remedy for you, which we homeopath called a constitutional remedy.

Chronic Insomnia
If you have chronic insomnia you might want to consider booking an individual consultation.
Chronic insomnia usually does not happen in a vacuum and can be related to other issues arising from physical and emotional stress or hormonal imbalances.
An individual consultation would review all symptoms and guide you back to your best sleep and health.
Our hormones and Sleeplessness
The pineal gland produces the hormone Melatonin in the body which regulates sleep and wakefulness. This gland is inactive during the daytime. When it grows dark, the pineal gland activates and starts producing melatonin to release it in the blood. Following its release, a person begins to feel less alert and sleepy. Detection of light and dark by the retina of eyes influences the production of melatonin.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (brain chemical). It is the chemical that creates a state of wellbeing and happiness; it regulates emotions, mood, social behavior, appetite, and digestion. It is the precursor for melatonin and plays an important role in regulating sleep cycles. Low serotonin levels are linked to sleep disorders, including insomnia. And even depressed mood, poor memory, poor self-esteem, and anxiety.
Dopamine has a role to play in sleeplessness by stopping the effects of norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is a hormone that is involved in controlling the making and release of melatonin. The dopamine’s inhibiting effects on norepinephrine leads to decrease making and release of melatonin effects. Low melatonin keeps the person awake.
