Solution for Insomnia – Mineral Salt

with 2 comments


Sleeping pills are NOT the answer to insomnia because they upset the Serotonin and Melatonin levels in your brain which affect sleep and moods.

I’m posting this because I’ve did a study on the affects of Khali Pos…on myself. Since I’ve had Fibromyalgia, I have had many problems with sleeping which for the most part are being managed by a gluten-free and yeast-free diet. I still don’t reach restorative sleep. When I have a dream, I always journal it and see what the reasons behind it were. It looks like all of the arrows are pointing to Kali Phos. Someone recommended this to me and I purchased it from Amazon.com for $11 bucks! This stuff has some type of soothing affect, it relaxes your mind with no side effects and you will have, very deep, refreshing sleep. When I was taking it consistently, I had dreams every night and would wake up in a lot less pain and have more energy throughout the day.

Insomnia is a condition that is becoming more prevalent in modern society. Stress, lack of proper exercise(30 minute brisk walk 3 times per week) and our diets are very refined, loaded with saturated fats and filled with preservatives and lack fiber. There are numerous other causes of insomnia:

· Over active brain.

· Over exertion.

· Pain.

· Excessive amounts of tea, coffee, alcohol and narcotics.

· Depression

· Inability to switch off mentally.

Treatment.

A deficiency of a mineral salt is one of the main causes of insomnia. This can be replaced by a product called Khali phos which may be obtained at health stores. It is natural and non-addictive but Valerian Root is also an effective remedy.

· ½ teaspoon of cinnamon sprinkled on milk works well.

· Lavender oil rubbed under the feet is an effective therapy.

· Dried Lavender in your pillowcase also works.
