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.
-

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

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.

the treatment of irritability and insomnia, Nux
Vomica will also help the tense, ambitious,

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.
