Just let me Sleep!
Goodness, haven’t we all had that at times….!!!
When looking for herbal sleep aids, there are tons of products on the market which can easily compete with the prescription variety, but choosing the right one can be a daunting task.
Some of the most effective natural cures for insomnia include Valerian, Chamomile, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), Kava, and Hops. Each of these treatments for sleep problems has its own benefits, and hopefully this guide will help you in choosing the right product to help you conquer your insomnia without the use of a potentially addictive prescription sleep medication.
Valerian has been known throughout centuries as the king of all herbal sleep aids. The roots and stems of the plant are used widely in Europe and the United States as the active ingredients of many non-addictive natural sleep aids. The most common use of Valerian is to improve sleep, which it does by blocking certain signals to the brain.
Several scientific trials have shown that a dose of Valerian before bed has a much more significant effect on easing insomnia than a placebo. Sleep quality also benefits from a dose of Valerian, according to a Swedish study, with less people waking up groggy compared to those taking a prescription sleep drug.
As another of the popular natural cures for insomnia, Chamomile is a gentle, non-addictive relaxant which can treat a sleep problem and general muscle cramps. Chamomile secures its place under herbal sleep aids by relaxing the brain, preventing certain signals from stirring you from your rest. It works specifically on the anxiety receptors, so Chamomile doubles as an anti-anxiety herbal supplement.
5-Hydroxytryptophan is also one of the best herbal sleep aids available on the natural supplements market. 5-HTP for short, it is a derivative of the mood improving, relaxing amino acid, tryptophan. Therefore, 5-HTP doubles as a natural sleep aid and an antidepressant.
By helping increase the brain’s serotonin levels, a dose of 5-HTP will improve your mood and help you lose anxiety. This, in turn, will help you get to sleep much easier. Furthermore, 5-HTP has also been shown to help promote longer periods of REM (dream) states and put you in a deeper sleep, without being left groggy in the morning. Like other natural sleep aids, 5-HTP is completely non-addictive, a great benefit over common prescription sleep medications.
As a tranquilizer derived from peppers, Kava is also one of the better herbal sleep aids currently used to treat insomnia. By acting as a relaxant, kava puts you in a mood to sleep and can also double as an anti-anxiety and antidepressant. Due to its low reactivity with other chemical compounds, Kava can also be combined with a variety of other herbal sleep aids such as Chamomile and Valerian, for even more benefits.
The last on this list of herbal sleep aids is Hops, one of the major components to making beer. This natural cure for insomnia functions as a mild sedative and a relaxant, like all of the previous entries. Studies have shown that Hops can relax you enough to cure insomnia when either taken orally or when the hops are simply stuffed into your pillow, allowing you to breathe in their relaxing scent throughout the night.

Read why people are benefiting from Neuro Natural Sleep…Yawn!
I’ve had terrible trouble sleeping for a number of years. I am not able to use most sleep medications whose side effects are too much for my body. I was searching for natural solutions and in 2005 I learned of Xtend-Life’s Neuro Natural Sleep formula. I had been using melatonin and an herbal combination of valerian, passion flower and hops, which helped but not enough to last through the night. I awoke feeling stressed out rather than rested.
Within two days of starting Neuro-Natural Sleep I felt a deeper calm in my nervous system and I found it was easier to relax. I also awoke feeling more rested. I still wake up in the middle of the night, but now I find if I take 3 additional tablets of Neuro-Natural Sleep I am able to fall back to sleep easily! I’m very grateful for this product. Thank you!”

“I bought Neuro-Natural Sleep as a fluke, but I love it. I usually get anxiety and wake up in the night. I have only been using it a week and I haven’t slept better. It doesn’t have any of the side effects of prescription medication. I don’t oversleep and I don’t feel groggy during the day.”

“I’ve recently added your Neuro-Natural Sleep preparation to my regimen with excellent results. Although I tried to take 6 tablets to begin with, I found that my stomach became somewhat upset. 4 seemed to be just right. Now I take 3 and only about 4 nights per week. I have not enjoyed the quality of sleep I have now in years. I’m so pleased with all of your products. Thank you.”
