Can't sleep? Try Bach Flower Remedies

This week-end a friend without computer access called to ask me if I'd order some "Sweet Dreams" from Feel Bach! for him. He'd run out and was once again experiencing sleepless nights. I said of course I would, and I did. Then I started thinking about how much Bach flower essences have helped him.

This is a man who was constantly worn out. He was sleeping only an hour or two at a time all night, every night. He's ill and on a LOT of medication. I'm sure that fact has a lot to do with his sleeplessness. Not only is he full of chemicals, but he's worried. He's afraid of the medication, but afraid not to take it.

Anyway, the doctors had given him prescription sleep aids, which helped a little but left him groggy and lethargic all day. The same happened with over the counter medications - some relief, but feeling terrible all day. At least - as far as we know - he didn't get up in the night and go driving in his sleep, as others have done when taking pharmaceutical sleep aids.

When I gave him a bottle of Sweet Dreams to try I expected that it might take several days before they had an effect, but I was mistaken. He called me the very next day to tell me he'd had the best sleep he'd gotten in months, and he felt rested and awake.

If you have sleep issues, give Bach flowers a try. They're safe for everyone and very inexpensive. Go to www.feelbach.com and read all about them. Then choose which sleep problem you have, and order accordingly.

Yours for good health,
Marte
