subject: Cure Insomnia Naturally With Anti-stress Herbs. [print this page] Hi, this is DrHi, this is Dr. Mittag at Cure Insomnia Naturally.com. The fact that stress is a major cause of insomnia makes good common sense. But, let us hear what Dr. Meir Kryger former President of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine had to say about this connection between stress and insomnia:
One of the big causes of insomnia is stress. Right now in the United States there is a lot of stress for various reasons: the election, the war in Iraq, the economy. People are watching the news constantly and most of it is bad.
So daytime stresses, whatever they are, whether its over work, or too many bills or the economy spills over into the night time and keeps us awake. This is because of stress hormones which alert the body and issue a state of alarm to the brain. The stress keeps the brain in a state of alertness. Part of the stress system is the adrenal glands which also secret hormones which activate the brain.
One way to make sense of this is to imagine that you are totally relaxed in the middle of the day. Imagine lying in a beautiful meadow with a pleasant breeze. It would be nothing to fall asleep in the middle of the day if your stress hormones were low. The lowered level of stress in the body allows you to fall asleep.
But there is good news. A group of herbs called adaptogens have been shown by modern research to buffer the impact of stress on the body. Many of these herbs have been in use in traditional medicine for thousands of years in different parts of the world.
Herbs like licorice root, rhodiola, ashwagandha and ginseng all belong to this class of what are called adaptogenic herbs. They are called adaptogens because they help the body to better adapt to stress.
We have combined these herbs in a product called Vitalisom AM that is designed to buffer the effects of stress on the body in order to promote healthy sleep. It is designed to be used in combination with Vitalisom PM which contains mildly sedating herbs that have been shown to improve sleep quality. We are getting very good results with this combination. People are reporting back that they are getting much better sleep.
