Understanding Insomnia

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people. It can involve difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to fall back asleep. Quality sleep is essential for your health and well-being, and insomnia can significantly impact your daily life.

How Homoeopathy Can Help

Homoeopathy views insomnia as a symptom that reflects your unique response to various factors - stress, anxiety, physical discomfort, or constitutional patterns. We look at your specific sleep patterns, what helps or hinders your sleep, and your overall health picture.

During a consultation, we explore your complete sleep story, including your bedtime routine, stress levels, physical symptoms, and how sleep affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your sleep difficulties and support your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.

Potential Homoeopathic Approaches

Every person's experience with insomnia is unique. Here are some approaches that may be considered based on individual symptoms:

Coffea Cruda

For insomnia with racing thoughts and mental excitement, often after receiving good news or feeling overstimulated.
