The treatment of many tick, flea, and biting fly infections often require treatment of severe insomnia.
The most effective medications are strong. Are there any mild options?
Several herbs can help alleviate insomnia by promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality, including Valerian, Chamomile, and Passionflower.
Key Herbs for Insomnia
- Valerian Root: Valerian is one of the most widely used herbs for insomnia. It contains compounds that have sedative effects, helping to calm the nervous system and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Studies have shown that valerian can improve sleep quality, especially in individuals with sleep disturbances.
- Chamomile: Known for its gentle sedative properties, chamomile is often consumed as a tea before bedtime. It contains apigenin, a flavonoid that binds to brain receptors to promote relaxation and sleep. Chamomile is particularly effective for those whose insomnia is linked to stress or digestive issues.
- Passionflower: This herb is known for its calming effects on the mind. Passionflower can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality, making it a great option for those struggling with insomnia.
- Lemon Balm: A member of the mint family, lemon balm has a pleasant lemony scent and is known for its ability to reduce anxiety and promote sleep. It can be consumed as a tea or in tincture form.
- California Poppy: This herb has mild sedative properties and can help ease the transition into sleep. It is often used in herbal formulations for insomnia.
- Hops: Commonly associated with beer, hops also have sedative effects. Research has shown that hops can improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety levels.
-
Lavender: Known for its calming aroma, lavender can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Inhaling lavender essential oil or using it in a bath can promote relaxation before bedtime.
How to Use These Herbs
- Teas: Many of these herbs can be brewed into teas. For example, valerian, chamomile, and passionflower teas are popular choices before bed.
- Tinctures: Herbal tinctures can be taken directly or added to water for easier consumption.
- Essential Oils: Lavender and other calming herbs can be used in aromatherapy to create a relaxing environment. [Even non-volatile oils can be more powerful than some synthetic drugs. It takes over 100 hours study to be a beginner]
Conclusion
Incorporating these herbs into your nightly routine may help improve sleep quality and alleviate insomnia. And if the top dose fails, at least you know you tried “natural options” first.
BTW. When we cure Lyme. Bartonella and Babesia, over time, the need for any insomnia, panic or pain medicine’s drop.
I was a Director of Education in 1982-84, for an addiction center. I would never have believed people getting cured of these infections would just self-wean over a few months.
If you still have these very common infections, you should fear bad effects of these medications. Few physicians in the world know that when testing for 1-2 Bartonella species (We posted 23 in humans), the number of people infected is 38% in Asia, 22% in Rio, 17–36% in Europe, and 38% in Africa. These are healthy people.
So anyone told to lower an anti anxiety medicine while the person still has large numbers of bite infections from 12 biting insects will show “withdrawal.”
Like withdrawing from air.
Amusingly, after I stabilize the catastrophically traumatized and brain infected folks no one has helped, after aggressive and effective treatment, that drops body load of agitating infections, at times, a great white knight comes and calls my radically improved patient an “addict” and with clueless arrogance sweeping up twigs after my ten bombs defused, and believe they “saved from a bad, bad medicine due to the power of themselves, and immense wisdom.
If these self deified experts of medicine safety had been present 1–3 years earlier—their babbling would have been in the far corner, begging for their mothers and the Marines or “Mayo.”
