I have written previously about insomnia, but I have been getting more and more questions about sleeplessness, anxiety, insomnia, and stress. So I am going to write a series of articles on these topics, and go into a little more detail about them, and some traditional herbal remedies.
I wanted to start by listing a few herbs that I have found helpful generally for all these problems. Some are relaxing herbs, some are adaptogens (herbs that help the body adapt), some are general tonics.
A partial list of herbs follows: Siberian Ginseng (not a true ginseng, see my post,
More Than One Ginseng); Reishi Mushroom; Rhodiola rosea; Chamomile; Scutellaria; Vallerian; Hops; and He Shou Wu are the primary herbal remedies that come to mind.
I will post more specific information about these herbs, and how to use them safely and effectively, as well as some thoughts on dealing with stress, anxiety and sleeplessness.
