Natural things that help us to sleep.

I'm sure most of the people here,as well as myself,often find it hard to sleep at night.I have found some natural remedies that really seem to help.most of these things can be found at heathfood stores or vitamin stores like super supliments,or can be ordered online.Some can even be grown in your own garden.Valerian is what I have found to be most effective.It is a root,and can be bought in pill or liquid form.Meletonin is also verry effective.sativa,chamomille,catnip and lavender can be made into tea.celestial seasonings has a tea called "sleepytime"and combines several ingredients.You can also find pills that combine several ingredients.All these things I have found have no side effects and can be taken in large quantities.They also help to sooth the nerves throughout the day.I hope this helps!

Dick has made me aware that ther may be a side effect with melatonin,that for him it caused vivid nightmares.it is different from the other herbs I have mentioned in that it is a chemical that is produced by the brain for sleeping.I would suggest that people start with verry small doses at first and only use one thing at a time,until they are sure as to how the herb will effect them.hope evry one is having a nice evening,and hopefully we will all be getting a peacefull sleep soon:)

I get nightmares from Meletonin...woo bad stuff for me. I wake up in cold sweats because the dreams are so vivid.

A few other plants I forgot to mention are peppermint,skullcap and strawberry leaves.The lavander tea I found at englishteastore.com. It is pure lavander flowers and is really calming and delicious!

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
