The Best Home Remedies for Insomnia

by: Junji Takano

Sleeping problems does not only trouble the elderly but young people as well. Millions of people worldwide suffer from various sleeping disorders and insomnia is one of the most common sleeping complaints.

Many people try to ignore this condition even though it is responsible for their many sleepless nights. Below are the four major symptoms of insomnia:

1. Daytime drowsiness.
2. Difficulty in going to sleep.
3. Frequent waking at night.
4. Unable to go back to sleep after waking in the middle of the night.

In this article, we'll reveal to you the latest secrets behind insomnia, why it occurs, and how you can treat it with the best home remedies.

## "Stimulation of Reptilian Brain" Prevents Deep Sleep!

Some people are unaware that they have an insomnia problem and may experience daytime fatigue even after sleeping for 7-8 hours straight. Latest studies show that one of the major factors that contribute to this daytime tiredness after waking up in the morning is the "stimulation of the reptilian brain during sleep".

The "reptilian brain" refers to the part of the brain that controls instinct and is common in birds and mammals. It has a definite control over sleeping behaviors. Apparently, increased stress and anxiety activates the reptilian brain, making it impossible to achieve a deep sleep.

EEG (Electroencephalography) tests show that some insomnia patients appear to wake up during the night frequently for several seconds totally unaware. As a result, the sleep is intermittent and the body cannot reach deep sleep.

Therefore, calming your reptilian brain is one of the important points in getting a good night sleep.

## Breaking the Vicious Cycle a??g Do not go to bed if you are not sleepy!

Most people will try to eliminate insomnia by attempting to go to bed early, but it appears that this is contradictory and is the archenemy of sleep!

Sleeping early today because you were not able to sleep well yesterday won't treat insomnia. Doing this often will only increase your stress and the chance that you'll awaken your reptilian brain increases, too. All of these will prevent your body from entering deep sleep.

To break this vicious cycle, you need to do these two things:

1. Stop worrying of when you should go to bed. The more worried you are about not sleeping, the worse your insomnia will be.

2. Only go to bed once you start to feel sleepy. By doing so, you may feel anxious at first as you will get less sleep. But the most important thing is quality of sleep is better than quantity.

We often hear that "7-8 hours of sleep time is ideal", but this does not apply fully in the case of elderly individuals who have lower physical activity. There are individual differences, so it's possible that six hours of sleep is also enough.

Increasing your time spent in bed just won't do you any good especially if you suffer from insomnia as you'll most likely just end up lying down the entire night instead of sleeping. Your sleep will simply become shallower and you'll be counterproductive.

## Two Secret Home Remedies to Induce Deep Sleep!

1. Use a Sleep Diary

Sleep diary is being utilized even by medical institutions as a part of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia as it can produce great results. The use of sleep diary will help you learn all your sleeping patterns and habits. It is done by writing down information such as:

- time you went to bed
- time you woke up
- how much time you spend in not being able to sleep in bed (and at what time)
- total sleep time

You can download this sample of a sleep diary. Print it out and use it or create your own sleep diary. Record all information in the sleep diary for 1-2 weeks.

By recording your sleeping patterns every day, you'll be able to determine the best time zone for you to sleep. You'll also be able to figure out the types of daytime activities that interfere with your sleeping behaviors.

2. Muscle Relaxation Method

The second secret home remedy to treat insomnia is to calm the reptilian brain through "muscle relaxation". With muscle relaxation, you tense a group of muscles as you breathe in, and relax them as you breathe out. Doing this repeatedly will help calm or sooth the reptilian brain and induces pleasant drowsiness.

Below are two effective muscle relaxation techniques that can help counter insomnia and calms the reptilian brain.

Note: Sit on a chair, relaxed, and close your eyes. Don't put too much pressure to your spinal column.

- Muscle Relaxation Using the Palm of Your Hand

1. Place both of your hands on top of your thighs and slowly clench your fist as tightly as you can. Hold for 10 seconds.
2. Relax and release the tension at once.
3. Stay in this relaxed state for 20 seconds.
4. Concentrate on the tension flowing away and the way your hands feel as it becomes relaxed.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for two times. Follow the same sequence of muscle tension and release, and try not to tense other muscles.

- Muscle Relaxation Using the Upper Body

1. Raise your shoulders, tighten your arms, and clench your fist while pressing it against your chest. This time, tighten your back muscles and abdominal muscles, too. Hold for 10 seconds.
2. Relax and release the tension at once.
3. Stay in this relaxed state for 20 seconds.
4. Concentrate on the tension flowing away and the way your muscles feel as they become relaxed.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for two times. Follow the same sequence of muscle tension and release, and try not to tense muscles other than your upper body.

## PYRO-ENERGEN Electrostatic Therapy Machine for Insomnia

Taking some herbs, medications, and caffeine may trigger mild insomnia and the only way to prevent this sleeplessness is to stop taking these things altogether.

But some severe chronic cases of insomnia have an unknown cause or can also be caused by rheumatoid arthritis and other underlying health conditions that one may not know about. We strongly believe that this has something to do with our theory of negative energy. Because of this, many people using the PYRO-ENERGEN electrostatic therapy machine are getting relief from countless sleepless nights after just a few days of therapy sessions.

Remember, stress can also attract outside negative energies, which shows why the muscle relaxation methods can be a good home remedy.

[www.keralites.net] : Top health myths about water

Top health myths about water

It can even kill you

Water is an amazing substance - we can't live without it and in fact we are mostly made of it.
So it is not surprising that a whole bunch of half-truths and myths exist about water,
especially when it comes to your health.

So here are our top 5 myths about water.

Myth 1: We should drink 8 glasses of water a day to avoid dehydration

Probably one of the most widely-believed yet false beliefs about water -
no doubt encouraged by bottled water brands.

It's true that our bodies need a fair amount of water every day.
According to the British Dietetic Association, most of us need the equivalent of around six to eight
glasses of fluid a day, fluid not water. Much of this can be obtained from the food we eat - fruit
and vegeatables are 80-90 per cent water by weight - and other drinks including milk, tea and coffee.

Obviously in hotter, sweatier conditions we need to up our intake to make up for the extra loss,
but again, any non-alcoholic drink will suffice.

Your body is also very good at regulating its water levels - it will get rid of excess by sweat and urine
and when levels are low you will feel thirsty and compelled to drink.

Myth 2: Coffee, tea and other beverages "dehydrate" you

While it is true that caffeine has a diuretic effect (it makes you want to pee) this is very mild compared
with the amount of water contained in the drink.
So as explained above these drinks will contribute to your body's need for water.

Myth 3: Water is harmless (apart from drowning!)

Generally speaking water is a non-toxic substance.
But it is possible to drink too much water.
In extreme cases drinking too much water can cause an electrolyte imbalance
in the body, known as "water intoxication."

Athletes in extreme sports such as marathon runners have been know to suffer from this condition.
Their sport causes them to sweat profusely, leading to a loss of both water and electrolytes,
including sodium.
But if they drink a lot of water in a short period of time without replacing the lost electrolytes,
sodium levels in the blood fall, which can be potentially life-threatening.

Myth 4: Bottled water is safer that tap water

Would you drink a liquid containing chemicals that may have been exposed to pesticides,
man-made fertilisers and even radioactive materials and destroys the environment?
Then you will probably be happy to pay 1,500 times the going rate to drink water from a plastic bottle.

Tap water is subject to stringent health and safety requirements.
It is continuously tested and safe to drink. Bottled waters often come from exactly
the same sources as tap water - in fact some are tap water.

Much bottled water is prepared with lower safety standards than tap water, and it consumes
vast resources to bottle, ship, market and sell it. That's why it costs around 1,500 times more
per drink than tap water, which is safe, cheap, convenient and by the far the most eco-friendly
way to get water.

Myth 5: Water can help you lose weight

Actually there is some truth is this idea. But only some.

Going back to myth 1, drinking calorie-free and sugar-free water is a better way to get your daily
fluid intake than gulping back sugary, high-calorie soft drinks.

And some studies have shown that if you drink a pint of water before a meal it can help you eat less.
But the key point here is that you do in fact need to eat less - the water itself does not in any way
reduce your body fat.

6 Health Benefits of Drinking Beer

There is little that compares to the hopsy, rich and refreshing taste of a cold beer. The world's third most popular beverage has been around for centuries, but has gotten a bad rep as being fattening and high-calorie, and as a result is increasingly avoided at the bar. Yet new studies reveal the surprising health benefits in beer that could make it, once again, your beverage of choice, in moderation of course.

So, pour yourself a cold beer and sip on it while you read about its amazing health benefits!

1. Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease

Alcohol in all of its forms, be it beer, wine or liquor, is known to help reduce the risk of heart disease. Studies show that a moderate consumption of alcohol thins the blood, making it less likely to clot. Alcohol also increases the amount of good cholesterol in the blood and lowers blood pressure.

2. Good for Kidney Health

Although too much alcohol is noted to be bad for the kidneys, beer has been shown to be an effective reducer of kidney stones. Kidney stones result when there is too much calcium in your system and the hops in beer has been shown to slow the release of calcium from the bones. Also, beer has a high water content that helps clear out the kidneys and keeps them stone free!

3. Believe it or Not, It's Nutritious

Beer is packed with tons of nutrients! One 12-ounce beer has about one gram of fiber and it is full of B vitamins like B6, B12, niacin and riboflavin. It is rich is silicon, a nutrient noted for helping to strengthen bones.

4. Reduces the Risk of Diabetes

In a 2011 Harvard University study on 38,000 middle-aged men, it was shown that when they drank two beers a day, their risk for Type II diabetes dropped by 25 percent! However, this percentage applies for two beers a day and no more than that.

5. Could Reduce the Risk of Cancer

Along with all of the vitamins mentioned above, beer also contains lots of good antioxidants that can cleanse your system of toxin. In addition, a Portuguese study found that marinating meat in beer can eliminate almost 70 percent of the carcinogens, or radioactive substances tied to cancer. Even if you're not drinking beer, it's great to cook with it!

6. Improves Brain Health

New research has shown that a few beers a day may be able to ward off Alzheimer's Disease and lower your risk for stroke. This is also due to the blood-thinning nature of the alcohol in beer that prevents the occurrence of clotting. In a 2005, it was found in a test group of 11,000 older women that those who drank at least one beer a day had better mental function than those who didn't, and that by drinking beer they decreased their risk of mental decline by 20 percent

[www.keralites.net] : Snoring

Subject: Snoring

Snoring good for the elderly

LONDON: If you think that snoring is bad for your health, think again, for a study has suggested that the nocturnal snorts, whistles and wheezes can give you a long and healthy life , particularly if you are elderly.

Researchers in Israel have carried out the study and found that people aged over 65 years who suffer from a snoring -related condition, called sleep apnoea, tend to live longer than those who do not snore.

According to the researchers, this is because short bursts of hypoxia -- interrupted breathing -- actually have a protective effect on the elderly people by conditioning their cardiovascular system to cope with lack of oxygen.

This means that when oxygen supplies are cut off, as in a heart attack or stroke, the body is better able to cope, they said.

But the study has found that the effects of sleep apnoea do not have the same effect in younger people -- in fact, middle-aged men in particular are at a higher risk of heart disease, the Daily Mail paper reported.

The researchers at Technion Institute have based their findings on an analysis of more than 600 elderly people over a period of four years -- they found fewer heart-related deaths than in a control group of 'healthy' volunteers.

The findings of the study have been presented at a meeting of the European Association for Sleep Research in Glasgow.

[www.keralites.net] : Pain and Pleasure to fit all

Whatsapp Group+91 98450 81888

Pain and Pleasure to fit all

Robert was meditating in a group meditation. This particular type of meditation is about stillness of the body. To avoid making any movement and to become aware of our own breathing.

After meditation was over, Robert shared with his teacher that he felt bliss.
"It was a sensation of fulfillment;" Robert mentioned..
Then, Robert explained that he felt physical pain after a while during the meditation, but in this occasion, it was the first time that he fully accepted it, and the pain stopped being that bothersome.
His teacher said that it is good to feel those things, but equanimity is the teaching. Don't take pleasure neither pain. Remain in equanimity.
The students agreed with the teacher.
Isn't that a good teaching?

It depends. Some will teach: "Do what is pleasurable. Avoid what is painful. It is good as long as it feels good."

Another teaching will say: "Sacrifice your pleasure now. Renounce pleasure now for it is just tempting you. You will indulge in it and you will forget about greater things in life."

Yet, Robert's teacher mentioned to remain in equanimity by not taking pleasure nor pain.

Which one is the right teaching? For sure, one of them has to be the right one, for those 3 teachings contradict themselves.
That is how 3 different "religions," 3 different belief systems emerged.
As we grow in awareness, we could see that the first teaching "Do what is pleasurable and avoid what is painful," makes sense. Most people will follow this. It is for the masses. Nevertheless, it is forgotten that duality does not work like that. Pleasure comes with pain. The more pleasure we pursue; equal amount of pain will be experienced in one way or another. The anticipation of pleasure is emotional pain until pleasure comes. Once pleasure is experienced, comes the pain of not being in pleasure.

The above is the cycle of addiction.
The second teaching is about becoming acquainted with pain, so it is not that "painful" anymore and to avoid the other side of duality, that is pleasure as much as possible. This spiritual teachings was made popular when the understanding about the flesh, the body; as the culprit for not experiencing our spiritual side. That is bring the spirit up, the soul forward by denying the body. The masses could understand this teaching very well. "Don't do this. Do that instead." The issue is that pain could become the pursuit. It could become the "pleasure." More pain experienced means a greater state of sainthood.

Masochists are those who find pleasure in pain.
The third teaching is to remain in equanimity by rejecting both, pleasure and pain; seems logical; it seems "good"… However, in Spirituality to make an "effort" to reject duality means not to experience life but to become a machine. Duality is not "bad.."

All of the above teachings have shortcomings. The issue resides in the type of consciousness we are in.
According to that consciousness, there will be a type of follower for those teachings.
A "normal" person has an addictive personality. If it feels good, you want more of it, always more. That is why the teaching of denying things is thought to be the answer to reform the person. But then, too much denial becomes an "abnormal" behavior. The question is, what is "too much"?

Thus, to deny both sides of duality; takes away the experience of life.
When our consciousness accepts pain with the same equanimity as pleasure, then there is equanimity in acceptance. That means, there is equanimity in experiencing life. When pain is not taken as pain neither pleasure as pleasure, when we abandon those ideas, there is freedom from pursuing something. It is just an experience.

Until our minds are not-self absorbed in the experience of one side or the denial of both sides of duality, then we will no experience balance, we will not enjoy life with gratitude.

It is pain bad? No. It is pleasure bad? No. It is pain good? No. It is pleasure good? No. They are neither bad nor good.
What are they?
Pain and Pleasure.
Please realize that it is our clinging mind, our mind full of attachments to liking something or even rejecting something (we become attached to that idea) that state is taking us out of balance and harmony.

The above teachings are not concerned about individuals, so they discover the state of their minds through experience and observation. Those teachings are more into putting a paragraph of "do " and "don't do" in a basic law, in a book to worship, so it fits all.

A "Fit all sizes" type of deal, will not fit all very well. It never has.
