A text that examines the many reasons for poor sleep - such as stress,
pain, digestive issues, urinary problems and hormones.
Insomnia is a major problem for many people, and a minor one for most.
In the author's 22 years of herbal practise, at least half of the people
seen have had some kind of sleep issue. It may be waking at 5am, when
they would rather not, or it may be impossible to get to sleep, or if
they do go to sleep they wake every hour.
Sleep problems are inextricably linked with whole body health - fix one
and the other gets fixed too. The way to fix it will vary from one
person to another and requires detective work to establish the problem
which will then offer the answer.
Read a magazine article, or an internet feature, or most books on sleep,
and you will learn all about sleep hygiene and also maybe about a few
sedative herbs such as valerian or chamomile. However most people with
sleep problems are very well aware of all these things and they just
haven't worked for them. There are also the books on sleep where one
person has found the way that works for them so they evangelise this one
way for everyone else.
Sleep: The Elixir of Life is different from all the rest because it
looks at all the many reasons for poor sleep - such as stress, pain,
digestive issues, urinary problems and hormones - and goes through ways
to treat them and hence solve the sleep problem. The methods used to
treat them include herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle changes,
flower remedies and essential oils. This book is all about finding a way
through an individual's health problems to fix sleep in the best way
possible, by actually treating the cause of the problem.
