Insomnia Aids when OTC fails

Natural Foods work better to help with Insomnia when the over-the-counter drugs don't work. The foods that happen to work the best are the ones rich in natural melatonin and happen to be strong antihistamines. Below is a quick and small list of some of the strongest ones. You only need a handful a day throughout your day or right before your bedtime for them to take affect:

  • Risveratrol Vitamin/Grape Juice/Purple Grapes/ Small amount of Red Wine (if you are of-age)
  • Walnuts 
  • Pistachios 
  • Pumpkin Seeds with the husk are preferred because it includes Vitamin K1. Without the husk, they are called Pepitas at the store. (Eat the seeds throughout the day but even last-minute helps).
  • Cherry juice or Cherries, and put your head on the pillow immediately. 
  • Those foods help build depleted melatonin much better than over-the-counter, in my opinion.
  • Teas can help too: Peach, Passionfruit, Lavender, Vanilla, Cherry, Blackberry, Cinnamon 
  • Milk with Honey
  • Stretching your muscles, especially your legs can help too, but get in bed right after. 

Second, I would get as much sleep as possible. Most likely, when you are suffering from Insomnia, the best method is to take a little bit of cherry juice before you sleep, or lavender tea. If you want to make sure you have enough natural melatonin building up for your sleep cycle, eat handfuls of pistachios, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. I have found that over-the-counter melatonin can stop working for some people sometimes. So, natural sources make better quality alternatives when that happens. A sleep cycle should be approximately 4 hours. And most people should get in an average of 2 sleep cycles every night or at least most nights. If you are not averaging 6-8 hours of sleep throughout the week, then you have a problem. If you are waking up multiple times a night, you have insomnia. If you miss a couple of hours every night and then have to crash at the end of the week, then you have insomnia. If you just lay in bed and don't doze off from being tired, then you have insomnia. If you toss and turn throughout the night, then you have insomnia. If you take longer than 15 -30 minutes of laying in bed to fall asleep, then you have insomnia. If you pull all-nighters for any reason, then you have insomnia. The body and the mind freak out when it does not get enough sleep. If you are sleep-deprived, make sure you are eating Watermelon with some Lime juice squeezed on top for your health in the mornings every time you have trouble. It helps clean out the brain fluid in the head that did not clean out while you were not sleeping. Because, that's the point of sleep, to renew your brain cells and wake you up refreshed the next morning (https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/are-toxins-flushed-out-of-the-brain-during-sleep). So, get your beauty rest.

 Allspice The wonder of Allspice, a very commons spice found in the supermarket spice aisle, is that it covers so many ailments.

Genital Pain/Sexy Backflow/E.D. - Gents and Ladies both have gonadal back-flow when they are not flowing their sexy energy down below as much as they need. Or, they have an overflow that could be an increase in libido brought on from Bacterial, yeast, or fungal infection. And you wouldn't know it.

Frequencies

Frequencies    Frequencies are measured in hertz, and they can be very beneficial to your brain. If a person is having trouble processing brain functions, like thinking clearly, having racing thoughts, or trouble sleeping, they can often help themselves by playing some of the available frequency songs on YouTube.  I recommend doing a meditation to one to help with brain health. Below is a list of a few that help. Do your thorough research on it.      Alpha Waves - for concentration and waking your brain up Theta Waves - for thinking clearly Delta Waves - for restful sleep People can also be bombarded by external frequencies, especially when we are surrounded by frequencies from all directions because of today's technologies, like cell towers and other tech. To make sure to counter this overexposure of frequencies that can unbalance us, we should make sure that our nervous system, which is our electric system for the body is healthy. Below is a list of ways ...

The Brain Impact of Parasites

  What does it mean when I am seeing things and experiencing things that don't make sense in the natural world? Some people call themselves sensitives, psychics, mediums, and reiki healers. Psychiatric Doctors call it psychosis. According to Google AI:  " Long-term parasitic infections in the brain can manifest in a variety of ways, often mimicking other neurological conditions. Symptoms can include seizures, headaches, changes in thinking and behavior, and neurological deficits like vision problems, paralysis, or movement disorders . The specific presentation depends on the type of parasite, its location in the brain, and the host's immune response."  Link:  Cambridge.org: The Impact of Parasite Infection on Mental Illness   Link:  Neurology India: Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Parasitic Infections   Link:  Natoinal Institute of Health: Host-parasite Interaction Associated with Major Mental Illness Link: Verywell Health: 9 Types if Brain Parasi...
