What is Healthy Sleep?

 

In order to understand the causes of insomnia, we need to have a look at how the sleep cycle works.

 

The amino acid L-tryptophan (found naturally in certain foods) is converted into 5-HTP and used in the manufacture of a neuro-transmitter called serotonin. Serotonin, in turn, is transformed into a sleep hormone called melatonin by the pineal gland in the brain. The pineal gland only becomes active after dark. By regulating levels of melatonin, our bodies create the 'sleep-wake cycle'. Of course the process is more complex than this and there are other things that could contribute to sleep problems. However, sufficient production of serotonin and melatonin is crucial in promoting and maintaining healthy sleep.

What causes insomnia?

There are many potential causes of insomnia, including sleep apnea, snoring, bladder or prostate problems, serotonin deficiency, stress or depression. People who are over 60 years old and women going through the menopause are more prone to insomnia, probably due to decreased levels of melatonin in the brain.  Other causes of insomnia include 'restless legs' syndrome (RLS), magnesium or iron deficiency, hormonal imbalance, shift work and excessive consumption of caffeine or other stimulants. Insomnia is also a side effect of some prescription anti-depressant medication.

It is thought that more than 50% of all cases of insomnia are linked to psychological causes, including depression, anxiety and stress.

Insomnia, or the inability to fall or remain asleep can take many different forms and has multiple causes. We can identify two main types of insomnia.

  • Sleep-Onset Insomnia (problems falling asleep, also called Initial Insomnia)
  • Sleep-maintenance insomnia (waking during the night and early in the morning)

Many people have a combination of these two types of insomnia. Insomnia may also be chronic (nearly every night) or intermittent (occasional insomnia).

 

Prescription Sleeping medication can be addictive and can affect your ability to fall asleep naturally.

How is Insomnia Usually Treated?

 

Medical science recognizes the strong association between good health and good quality sleep. Unfortunately, due to lack of understanding and limited time, many conventional doctors do not take the time to investigate what the cause of a sleep disturbance might be and simply write out a prescription and send the patient on his or her way. This is not always the best long term solution.

Doctors usually prescribe antihistamines (e.g. Nytol, Benadryl) or a class of drugs called benzodiazepines (e.g. Valium,  Lorazapam, Alprazolam, etc)  to treat insomnia. While these drugs may be effective in the short term, they can both cause serious long term problems, including addiction and disturbance of normal sleep patterns. Benzodiazepine addiction, in particular, can develop very quickly and using them for longer than a week or two may result in a lifetime of dependence.  Using strong drugs to fall asleep often means that the body's natural sleep cycle is disturbed and the ability to fall asleep naturally is lost. The person often needs to take stronger and stronger medication in order to fall asleep at night. Grogginess in the morning is not uncommon.

Natural Remedies Can Help

Naturopaths recognise that sleep is like a barometer. When someone consistently struggles to sleep, this is a sign that something is wrong and needs to be investigated. Perhaps there are problems at work or in a relationship. Perhaps there is a depression that needs to be treated. Maybe there is a serotonin or a magnesium deficiency which needs attention. Maybe there is another condition which is causing the sleep problem. Simply taking strong drugs to fall asleep is not enough and can further complicate the picture.

Fortunately it is possible to treat insomnia in a natural and more holistic way, resulting in a longterm solution which does not damage your health or lead to addiction.

There are many different 'natural' remedies on the market. Not all of these are as 'natural' as they claim to be. Others are not very effective due to inferior formulation or failure to take a more detailed and scientific approach to the treatment of insomnia.  Unfortunately this has meant that many people have given up on finding a healthy, natural approach to insomnia.

What is Serenite Plus?

Serenite Plus is a combination herbal/homeopathic formula especially formulated to treat the symptoms of insomnia, especially sleep onset insomnia (difficulty falling asleep) and occasional insomnia (i.e. not more than twice or thrice a week). Serenite has been used safely and effectively for many years to help with sleep problems. Now newly formulated, using up-to-date scientific knowledge of insomnia and natural sleep patterns, Serenite Plus combines herbal AND homeopathic remedies in a new improved formula.

What are the Ingredients of Serenite Plus?

Serenite Plus contains:

  • Avena sativa - used by herbalists to treat nervous exhaustion and insomnia and also as an effective nerve tonic. 

  • Scuttelaria laterifolia - has a long history of effective use in the treatment of acute insomnia and stress. This herb is also useful in the treatment of epilepsy and nerve pain.

  • Passiflora incarnata - research has demonstrated the effectiveness of this relaxing herb in the treatment of anxiety and stress. It is also particularly useful for the person who lies awake worrying due to stress or overwork!

  • Coffea C30 - a homeopathic remedy known for its effectiveness in treating headaches, insomnia and restlessness. People who are overstimulated due to worry or excessive work will benefit very much from the addition of Coffea to the formula.

  • Nux Vom. C30 - also used homeopathically for the treatment of irritability and insomnia, Nux Vomica will also help the tense, ambitious, perfectionistic person who cannot sleep due to worrying about unfinished business or unresolved emotional issues.

How Do I Use Serenite Plus?

 

Serenite Plus comes in easy to administer drop form and is diluted in about 1/4 glass of water or juice.

 

Adults and Teenagers over 15: 15 to 20 drops five minutes before bedtime. May be repeated during the night.

Children: See our Serenite Jr Drops for Children

 

Caution: Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been clinically established. Pregnant women and nursing mothers can safely use our Triple Complex Sleep Tonic.

 

NOTE: Serenite Plus is very effective in the short term treatment of insomnia. People with chronic insomnia and those with sleep maintenance insomnia who would like to treat the underlying causes of their sleep problem, should consider combining Serenite Plus with Serenite-LT Tablets for a long term solution to insomnia.

 

How long does one bottle last?

 

Depending on frequency of use, one bottle of Serenite Plus can last a month or longer.

How has Serenite Plus helped others?

 

"I have tried many natural products to try and help me to sleep. None of them has helped me like Serenite Plus." Kay F., Canada

 

"I am a pensioner and for the last 6 years, I have not been able to fall asleep as I used to do. Maybe it is because I am not as active as before, although I try and walk a little with the dogs every day! I have been very pleased with the results of your remedy, which relaxes me and helps me to fall asleep. Thank you for answering all my questions!" B.C. George.

 

"After some relationship troubles I found myself worrying and obsessing every night and no matter what I did I could not let go and fall asleep. This remedy really does the trick. It feels just like natural sleep because I become drowsy and relaxed and then can't remember when I fell asleep. No problems in the morning when I wake up - unlike the tablets my doctor gave me once before and which I took only once!" Golden Girl.

What else can I do to help?
