• Help with sleeping.

  Here is a list of natural remedies to help with insomnia. Note there are mix and match options- and it will take time to explore the various options. Make notes with the various remedies and combos to observe the results:  time sleeping, quality of sleep, any residual effects in the morning, and quality of energy during your day. The goal is to end up with a “pallet of choices” that you can vary over time depending on circumstances, avoiding habituation to one remedy. Remember the best sleep, when possible, is natural sleep without medication. Chinese herbal medication can address specific underlying imbalances that cause insomnia. These formulas are tailored to the individual requiring a constellation.
