curing insomnia naturally

Lemon Balm is an herbaceous perennial in the mint family. It grows naturally in southern Europe and northern Africa where it grows along roadsides, on disturbed land and in landfills from sea level all the way up into the mountains.

It grows in any well-drained soil and is particularly tolerant of poor, sandy soils. It can also withstand the full force of the sun.

Lemon Balm demonstrates an effective sedative action and is normally made into a pleasant, lemony-tasting tea.

The tea is made with 2 teaspoons of dried lemon balm to a cup of boiling water. Steep the tea for ten minutes, strain, and drink right before going to bed.

Passion flower is a flowering plant that is native to an area from the Brazil to Argentina and southeast US.

It gets its name from the fact that it reminded the early pilgrims of the suffering (or passion) of Christ.

Passion flower is sometimes referred to as Granadilla, Passion Vine, Maypops, Maracoc and Apricot Vine. It has been used historically as a tranquilizer and tobacco substitute (as well as for other things).

In addition to having a strong effect on the central nervous system, passion flower also acts as an anti-spasmodic on the smooth muscles of the body, including the entirety of the digestion system, which is why it has the ability to ease and promote digestion.

It is considered by some as the herb of choice for treating insomnia as it doesn't produce side effects and results in a relaxing, restful sleep with no grogginess the next morning.

It is non-addictive and may be used in both the elderley and children without leading to complications.

If used for its medicinal purposes, the entire plant may be used. It is ordinarily collected after some of the berries have matured, then dried whole.

To prepare a passion flower tea, pour a cup of boiling water onto a teaspoonful of the dried herb and let it infuse for fifteen minutes. Drink a cup a half hour before going to bed.

It is said that honey has sleep inducing properties. Dark honey has more antioxidants than light honey. It can be used in herbal teas or mixed into warm milk.
