We’ve all experienced
sleep troubles at least once in our lives. But what happens if this situation turns into something
“normal”? Do you usually find it difficult to fall sleep no matter how tired you are? If that’s the case, then
keep reading! A very common reason for sleep disorders is
hormone imbalance. This mostly occurs among women, although men are not assured as well. Whatever the reason, not having a normal sleeping pattern turns the everyday routine into a nightmare! Luckily, there are some
herbs that are said to be very effective against such conditions. Let’s see
3 of the most popular ones:
- Lavender
These purple plants are famous for their beneficial effects on our sleep function. What’s more, they may also prevent or treat constant
anxiety and
depression! Recent data shows that lavender’s aroma is able to make you fall asleep easier.
- Chamomile
Just like the previous herb, chamomile is a plant with an amazing fragrance! We tend to underestimate this but, in fact, the scent of these natural products is very important for a good night’s sleep. Researches also prove that chamomile is a good choice for
postpartum periods. You may also read our blog post about chamomile’s other uses!
- Valerian
There’s no chance you haven’t heard of it! Valerian is known for its powerful effect against
nervousness and
insomnia. The herb is even recommended to women who have sleeping troubles during
menopause. Studies suggest consuming valerian at least twice a day in order to get rid of the unpleasant symptoms.
What’s the best way to consume the herbs? Well, the most common, super easy and effective way is to make
herbal teas. So, when you have a couple of minutes, boil some water and enjoy the healthy drinks. If teas are not your thing, you may also try
aromatherapy!
Remember: These herbs are truly amazing, but if you’re having sleeping problems, you might also have to pay attention to your
diet, physical activity and stress levels! Learn more about herbs with Hellenic Grocery!
