Natural Remedies to Help Cure Sleepless Nights

 

    If you have ever experienced that "slap-happy" feeling, or can't remember little events that happened when you were running on little sleep, then you will understand what kind of affects you will feel from not getting enough of it. Not only does getting enough shut eye help you feel sane, it is one of the most important aspects of our health. Sleep helps your body and brain function properly, and has been linked to a lower risk of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It also can improve your learning, memory, decision-making, and can even benefit your creativity. And while all of this is true, there are a staggering amount of people who do not get enough sleep daily. Maybe it's because of work, or you were up too late watching tv, or playing games. Either way people aren't getting the sleep they need, and we need to fix that. At Wellspring Custom Pharmacy, we want to see all of our customers live a happy and healthy life. That is why we are going to let you in on a few natural sleeping aids that will help you finally get the sleep you need.

    All of the supplements we are about to mention can be bought over the counter or on our online store. If you have any questions about what kind of supplements you should be taking, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We can even schedule a consultation to make sure you are getting the help you need.

    The first supplement you can try is called melatonin. This is a hormone that your body naturally produces and signals to your brain that it is time to sleep. People often use melatonin when they feel like they aren't tired, or when their sleep cycles get messed up, for instance when you travel and experience jet lag. This hormone's production cycle is controlled by the time of day, so it makes sense as to why so many people use it as an aid to jet lag, making it a very popular choice among travelers. 

    The second supplement to help aid you with sleep is Valerian Root. This herb is native to Asia and Europe and is commonly used to help calm your mind and body by helping with anxiety, depression, and menopause. While studies are still needed for this root, it is popular in places like the U.S. and Europe as a sleep-promoting herbal supplement.

    Magnesium is the next supplement that we are going to talk about . This mineral is involved in hundreds of processes that the body makes everyday, and is important for brain and heart health. It is said that magnesium helps to quiet the mind and body making it easier to fall asleep. This is partly due to the fact that this mineral helps to regulate the melatonin process, and as we said before, that is the sleep hormone. 

    There are many other supplements that are used to help with sleep-aid but the last one we are going to mention is Lavender. This plant is mainly used for its oils and is believed to enhance sleep. There are several studies that show that smelly lavender oil shortly before you go to sleep may be enough to get a good nights rest. Though lavender aromatherapy is safe, the oral intake of it can cause stomach pain and nausea. That is why essential oils are used so frequently. This is also a great option for younger children who don't like to swallow pills, helping them to have a more peaceful sleep.

    If you are having issues falling asleep or know of someone who does, visit us in store or online to look into some of these options. If you are still feeling unsure contact us, and we will help you pick out the choice that is best for you. After all, our goal at Wellspring Custom Pharmacy is to help you live your best and healthiest life.
