Healthy Natural Solutions for Insomnia
Every person suffering insomnia is unique and so is their particular solution. Unnatural food, environmental toxins and other life-style choices result in an altered body chemistry unsupportive of natural restful sleep. There are many solutions however, and the right combination of factors could help you sleep like a baby! Consider these healthful steps.

Some of the first nutrients to be deficient in the modern lifestyle are organic minerals which are vitally important to a properly functioning nervous system and sleep. Organically bound minerals are found in plants, becoming part of chlorophyll and other plant nutrients and every person needs them to one degree or another.Vitamin Complexes
Single vitamins extracted from their naturally occurring synergists stimulate changes in unnatural ways. Over decades these vitamin extracts have been proven again and again to be of little or no value to health. Only vitamin complexes, those found in whole foods and whole food concentrates, are valuable to the long term health of the body.† Avoid taking high potency synthetic vitamins. Replace them with natural whole food vitamin complexes. Ask me for alternatives.Digestion
Amino acids necessary for the formation of neurotransmitters must come from food that is properly digested2 therefore digestive enzymes must be present in the appropriate quantities. If you have bloating, heartburn, gas and other symptoms of indigestion, nutritional support for your digestion may be an answer for your insomnia.Purify Toxins
Build-up of toxins can result in allergies, swollen nasal passages and symptoms of sleep deprivation and insomnia. It is advised to consider a purification program periodically to reduce the build up of toxins which may contribute to insomnia and other conditions.Get in the Rhythm of Nature!
Our bodies respond to cues from the morning sun and the evening darkness to create the chemical messengers that control waking and proper sleep. Bright lights at night such as TV and computer screens can stimulate the brain in such ways that restful sleep is delayed.Get regular Chiropractic Adjustments
Misalignment of the neck can produce undue tension on the spinal cord and brain stem which can stimulate the Reticular Activating System (RAS) which is responsible for sleep and wakeful cycles.Use Supportive Bedding
A good orthopedic pillow which supports the normal anatomical curve of the neck is an important investment. Proper support in a goodmattress is more important than many realize. We spend about one third of our lives in our beds, thus proper support and comfort are critical!Peace and Purpose
Spending a few minutes calming your nervous system in an evening activity of meditation and reflection upon the good we do each day to help our family, friends and coworkers can do wonders for ending our days on a positive note, thus preparing us for restful sleep.† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
