How can I get a full night’s sleep naturally?
I wake up so many times at night, for no good reason. I don’t want to use medications… are there any natural, at-home remedies for sleepless nights? I’m exhausted!
Passion Flower
Here is a really good all natural insomnia treatment. Mix a few passion flower blooms with 1 cup of boiling water and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture, sweeten it with honey if desired, and drink it right before going to bed.
Alternatively, take 6000 mg of dried passion flower in capsule form.
Aniseed
Mix 1 teaspoon of aniseed with 1 cup of water and brew it for about 20 minutes. Strain and sweeten to taste.
Kava Kava
Here’s a proven herbal insomnia treatment. Kava kava not only relaxes muscles, but also has an impact on the brain’s emotion centers.
Take two 500 mg capsules about one hour before bedtime.
Lettuce
Cooked lettuce has fantastic relaxant properties, and lettuce tea is known to be a quick-acting sedative.
Mix 1 cup of shreaded lettuce with 1 cup of boiling water and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Strain the mixture and drink it before going to bed.
Some people claim this to be the most effective natural insomnia treatment known as well as one of the best relaxants.
Valerian
Valerian is known to be very effective for inducing sleep.
Mix 2 teaspoons of dried valerian root with 1 cup of boiling water. Strain and drink. If the taste is too strong for you, instead you can take 300 mg of a standardized extract, or 1 teaspoon of tincture.
Warm Milk
Tryptophan is a chemical compound that is effective for inducing sleep.
While tryptophan exists in a natural form in the milk, it is the warming of the milk that activates the tryptophan.

Feverfew
Mix 2 tablespoons of feverfew flowers with 2 cups of boiling water. Strain and drink.

Bee Balm
Some people guarantee that you will get results from this herbal insomnia treatment. Mix 2 tablespoons of bee balm with 2 cups of boiling water. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and drink.
