How to treat insomnia?

At one time, insomnia became a real torment for me. I had to watch sad films, read about the development of the space industry, which I understand nothing about... I just wish I could get tired and fall asleep sooner! Everything changed after the visit of friends from the Altai Territory. Suddenly I began to fall asleep quickly and soundly. It turned out that the guests brought me a “magical” bouquet of local plants, which I accidentally placed in the bedroom... And for good reason!

Aromatherapy is a great thing! Our great-great-grandmothers also stuffed pillows with fragrant herbs, saying: “A potion will grow for every disease.” After all, smells have a miraculous effect on our mood and well-being. This find was adopted by the manufacturers of sachets - bags with medicinal herbs, which are recommended to be placed under the pillow, hung in closets or carried in your pocket. They are sold in almost any store at an incredible price! But it’s much better to make a sachet with your own hands. The main thing is to know what to fill them with...

For insomnia

If you have trouble sleeping, make a miracle bag with chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, sage, basil, iris and wormwood. All these herbs have a soporific effect and cause pleasant dreams.

Important! No matter how much you love jasmine, daffodils, lilies, lilies of the valley and bird cherry, you should not allow them into your bed. Otherwise, there is a chance to spend the night fighting headaches and nightmares!

Lavender

This plant is also called the “aroma of peace”: it helps with headaches, strengthens the nervous system, relieves overexcitation, tearfulness, irritability, normalizes blood pressure, strengthens the body’s resistance to infectious diseases and increases brain activity.

To combat stress and depression

Pads with fern, pine needles, lavender, mint, rosemary, oregano and rose will help tidy up the nervous system. Chamomile, geranium and juniper cope with depression - their invigorating aroma will relieve feelings of anxiety. But fear will be overcome by the aromas of angelica, valerian, basil, bergamot, iris, coriander, mimosa, nutmeg, sage and vanilla.

Coniferous smells

The aromas of cedar, juniper or pine act as antiseptics, relieve obsessive thoughts, soften mood swings, and relieve heartache. Juniper is especially useful: it clears the mind, strengthens the nerves, and eliminates irritability.

For colds

The aromas of fennel, fir, tea tree, thyme, cinnamon, lemon and orange are especially good in the cool autumn period - they will cope with colds and bronchitis. For otitis media, inhale the aroma of chamomile, lavender and sage. And sandalwood and rose oil will help get rid of a runny nose. The scents of rose and poplar help prevent the development of infections caused by streptococci, staphylococci and Koch bacilli.

Sage

The beneficial properties of this plant are provided by essential oils, tannins, mineral salts and phytoncides. Sage increases appetite, relieves panic attacks, helps cope with anxiety, muscle spasms and cramps.

To strengthen the cardiovascular system

If cardiac activity is impaired, it is recommended to inhale the aromas of anise, lemon balm and rosemary. For example, lemon balm is used as a sedative; it improves performance and immunity. Sage, thyme and vanilla will help with hypertension. And for hypotension - lavender, nutmeg, lemon.
