If insomnia keeps you awake night after night, you need cures for insomnia which work.
There are many ways you can tackle this problem; let's look at three methods which are completely drug-free, and should work for you immediately.
1.
Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis Hypnosis works well for insomnia, because it mimics the natural process by which you fall asleep: deep body relaxation and imagery.
In hypnosis, after the imagery (suggestion) stage, the hypnotherapist brings you out of the trance.
When you're falling asleep, the imagery stage precedes sleep.
If your insomnia is chronic, you should see a hypnotherapist, who can take a history, and can give you suggestions which are tailored to your situation.
If you've only recently become an insomniac, then you can use hypnosis programs on CD, and you should have success.
Do remember however, that a personal session from a skilled hypnotherapist is the best option.
2.
Acupuncture and Herbs Acupuncture's been used for thousands of years, so it works.
In western medicine, it's relatively new, but because it's a drug-free therapy, it's being used more and more.
Acupuncture is a normalizing therapy; it aims to restore all your systems, both body and mind, to a state of balance.
When it's used to treat insomnia, many acupuncturists prefer to use herbs as well, to provide immediate relief for the sufferer.
3.
Massage With Essential Oils Massage with oils like lavender, chamomile and marjoram, helps many people through periods of insomnia.
When massage is used as a treatment for insomnia, the massage therapist will massage you, and will then give you a massage blend to use at home, half an hour before bedtime.
Massage is a very enjoyable treatment, and if your insomnia is due to stress, you'll find that regular weekly massage sessions keep both the stress and insomnia at bay.
