Side BENEFITS Instead of "Side Effects"!
To take this a step further, all of these natural remedies address you as a whole person rather than just focusing on one symptom or issue.
This helps to ensure that your entire "self" or "being" is brought back into balance rather than just one issue.
Have you ever experienced a "side effect" from a synthetic medication or pharmaceutical? This is because it was formulated to target only one specific issue - which it may help with initially - but then it throws other areas out of balance because it is not actually working with your body, but against it. While it may change one thing for the better, it will change other things for the worse.
For example - we've all heard the endless drug commercials on TV - and what do we hear? All of the "side effects" being listed for a longer period of time than the actual positive things the drug may accomplish.
Let's look at Ambien for a moment. What is the purpose of Ambien? To help with insomnia and sleep issues. I think that many people would agree that Ambien helps them go to sleep and stay asleep - so it is accomplishing the one thing it was formulated to do.
What are the possible side effects of Ambien?
- Severe allergic reaction
- New or worsening symptoms of: depression, anxiety, agitation, aggression, confusion, unusual thoughts, hallucinations, memory problems, changes in personality, risk-taking behavior, decreased inhibitions, no fear of danger, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself
- Chest pain
- Fast or irregular heartbeat
- Feeling short of breath
- Trouble breathing or swallowing
- Feeling like you might pass out
- Daytime drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, or feeling "drugged" or lightheaded
- Tired feeling, loss of coordination
- Stuffy nose, dry mouth, nose or throat irritation
- Nausea, constipation, diarrhea, upset stomach
- Headache, muscle pain
And if that list is not long enough, other detrimental effects are listed on the "drugs.com" website.
This drug was not formulated in a way that looks at you as a whole person - it was formulated only to help you sleep, and I guess they figure you can deal with the side effects later.
What are some other options? Natural remedies!
Lavender and Vetiver Essential Oils are calming and sleep promoting oils.
Breathing exercises can help calm your system to help you get a good night's rest.
Valerian, Passionflower, and Ashwagandha are Herbs that can help you sleep.
Hot baths, creating a peaceful sleeping environment, and managing stress are also all great ways to start sleeping better.
All of these natural remedies have wonderful side BENEFITS as well (which we will explore in future posts) - so try a natural remedy today and bring your entire body back into balance.
