Safe and Natural Remedies for Insomnia

True Sleep will gently and naturally resolve Insomnia!

I’ve ranked insomnia as the most torturous symptom I have experienced!  I am soo grateful for this natural sleep remedy, one of the best natural remedies for Insomnia.

Some people think I am “too sensitive” and that I get “too upset” when I am hurt.  Iinsomnia suppose that could be true.  It does feel pretty intense, and often I can’t sleep.  Goodness, the torture of sooo tired and unable to sleep, while you think about how tomorrow will come regardless!!  

True Sleep is the medicine I reach for when I’m too upset to sleep.   My most agitated insomnia resolved with five droppers of True Sleep.

Safe and Natural Sleep Aid!

That is how you dose a tinctured plant medicine.  Squeeze the bulb and let the dropper fill up.  One dose.  This bottle contains 60 doses.  It was well worth the price of five doses to get some sleep!

True Sleep is research tested for insomnia in humans, compared to a placebo and to Ambien, the number one pharmaceutical for insomnia.   Ambien has a history of lawsuits for the hurt it has caused.  

Sedative hypnotic drugs more than triple your risk of death in just a few doses.  If you rely on them to sleep for several months, your risk of death increases five times, and your risk of cancer is 35% higher. (1)

Sedative hypnotics sound wonderful if you are suicidal.  They depress your brain, which can affect vital centers.  While you are knocked out, you stop breathing and your brain shuts off.  It sounds painless!

But very disappointing if you were hoping to wake up. 

Three plants worked just as well as Ambien, for Insomnia, with no side effects. (2)

Insomnia - Asheville Functional MedicineThe patients had suffered with insomnia for nearly a year on average, and were able to sleep 3 hours and 20 minutes a night, on average.  Half were given Ambien and the other half were given Valerian, Passion Flower and Hops.  All were instructed to take their medicine at bedtime.

After 2 weeks, the Ambien group was able to sleep 5 hours and 36 minutes, on average.  The True Sleep group was able to sleep 6 hours a night, on average.  No serious side effects were noted. (2) . Safe and natural sleep remedy!

Well, unless you think it is serious that your risk of death is increased by 3X, on average, after taking 14 Ambien!

Plants seem negatively associated with death.  I’ve found one documented death, where a very sick person with Hepatitis took the wrong plant.  The right plants for Hepatitis is called Jiedu Yanggan Gao, which we have in our store!

The right plants for Sleep weren’t responsible for that death or any others!  But don’t take my word for it, I encourage you to do your own research!  This is a safe and effective natural sleep remedy.

Ambien sales were 2.8 Billion in 2011.  I wonder why doctors in the US prefer Ambien to True Sleep? More Herbal Remedies for Insomnia

True Sleep also contains Kava.  In Germany, doctors investigated the effects of Kava on chronic insomnia.  Sixty one people with chronic insomnia were given either Kava or a placebo.  The people who received Kava had a significant improvement in sleep and anxiety.  (3)   

In another study, they found that Kava can save the life of a insensitive man married to a woman suffering from PMS.  Kava effectively relieved “psychosomatic dysfunctions” of PMS.  Lol, so an insensitive man can’t say, “are you PMSing again?”  (4)

True PMS Relief helps all PMS symptoms.  If you need.

Valerian relieves pain and anxiety as well as being a natural sleep aid.

Hysterosalpingography is the radiographic evaluation of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, which is generally assumed as a stressful and painful procedure. Mefenamic Acid is the medicine they use to relieve the pain, but it increases the risk of “deadly heart attacks and strokes, and deadly gastric hemorrhage,” which means you bleed to death.   Wow, if that were my best choice, I’d be looking for new resources, too.  

They compared Valerian, Mefenamic acid, and a placebo. 

Valerian worked just as well to as the pharmaceutical to decrease the anxiety and pain of a painful and stressful  gynecological procedure, without the side effects. (5)

Valerian

In another study, Valerian offered significant improvement, compared to a placebo, for OCD, aka Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  The only side effect noted was sleepiness. (6)  Of course, it is an effective natural sleep aid.

True Sleep also contains California Poppy:  In France, Poppy and Hawthorne Berry were considered for the treatment of chronic anxiety disorder.   I think of Hawthorne more for heart, but these two plants resulted in a clinically significant improvement in anxiety disorder, compared to a placebo. (7

I use True Calm for anxiety and True Heart Health for healing heart failure and blood pressure, which has Hawthorne Berry.

The combination is proven to work for Somatoform Disorder.  That’s what they call it when you have physical symptoms but the doctor can’t find anything wrong.

More Natural Remedies for Insomnia

herbal remedies for insomniaIn Italy, they wondered if Heart 7, an acupressure point for “calming the spirit,” might be helpful for pregnant women with insomnia.  A Mother would never knowingly endanger their baby, and research shows that sleep medicine significantly increases the risk of birth defects.

They used an elastic band with a metal bead to apply pressure to Heart 7 while the women slept, and in 2 weeks, these expectant mommas felt “significantly improved sleep quality and reduction in anxiety.” (8)

Give it a try!

Proven Pain Relief

Do You Need Pain Relief?

True Wound Mend helped heal a dislocated elbow in less than 24 hours, and is research proven to resolve chronic and acute pain!

I was walking our dog with our three youngest, and the boys were being boys.  Gates threw Westy on the ground play wrestling, and his scream suggested an injury far worse than a bruised body or ego.  I ran to him and braced his dislocated elbow, putting a tiny pressure on the deformity in the direction of normal.  I felt it slip back in and his scream decreased to a wail. 

We walked back to the road with my hands “casting” his wound and called momma.  Momma raced the “ambulance” to pick us up and raced back to True Health.  We applied True Wound Heal, one ingredient at a time to his wounded elbow.  We used acupressure to increase the relief.  It took awhile, but we got enough relief that he was able to fall asleep.  I worried that he would move in his sleep and wake up screaming again, but he slept through.  In the morning, he came out bracing his arm to his side, but calm.  We applied more, and by lunch time, he was showing mom he was ok, by doing push ups on our bed!  

And yes, it is research proven, to help chronic and acute pain, with some nice side benefits.  

Comfrey: In Germany, doctors put Comfrey to the test, and concluded, “The results were clear-cut and consistent. Comfrey root showed a remarkably potent, fast-acting, and clinically relevant effect in reducing acute back pain.”  Phytother Res. 2013 Jun; 27(6).   Researchers in the Czech Republic concluded, “Every patient that received Comfrey had good to excellent results in the treatment of muscle pain.   Study results confirm the known anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of topical Comfrey root for back pain.”  Adv Ther. 2005 Nov-Dec;22(6):681-92.

Arnica: In Italy, doctors used Arnica to heal the wounds they caused by total mastectomy.  Arnica offered significant reduction in swelling and bleeding in the recovery from their “care.” J Intercult Ethnopharmacol. 2017 Jan-Mar; 6(1): 1–8.  Researchers in the Czech Republic reported that Arnica more than doubled the relief of a sprained ankle compared to placebo,  and when White Willow was used with Arnica, relief was nearly 100% by day 10, while the placebo patients still had significant pain.  Pain Res Treat. 2011; 2011: 365625

Wild Indigo: I’m not sure why, but this plant has almost no recognition in research.  I’ve seen it work, though.  I had a patient who I couldn’t resolve a chronic infection and the pain it was causing.  When we added Wild Indigo, her pain was resolved in a matter of days.  People who know nature’s medicine call Wild Indigo nature’s Neosporin,  so I put a little bit in True Wound Mend in case you are dealing with an open wound.  I think Wild Indigo has been here longer than Neosporin, so I’d say it this way, “Neosporin is big pharma’s version of Wild Indigo.” 

I was taught that over half of the pharmaceuticals today are based on the actions of plant medicines.  

Frankincense: Doctors in India were concerned about the side effects of NSAIDs.  Aspirin alone causes 16,000 deaths per year in the US.  They used a medical device designed for hurting lab animals to study pain and inflammation in humans. They stopped at the threshold of pain tolerance.  AKA, when they said “Uncle.”  Frankincense increased pain threshold significantly just two hours after a single dose.  Indian J Pharmacol. 2014 Sep-Oct; 46(5): 475–479.  Also in India, researchers concluded that Frankincense along with Ginger and Turmeric, significantly decreased the pain of knee joint arthritis.  J Clin Rheumatol. 2004 Oct;10(5):236-45.   

True Pain Relief offers those 3 together along with White Willow, for internal use, and one dropper full resolved a headache I had after a day in bed with the flu.  I grabbed Advil first because it was “that bad,” but our bottle was expired by nearly two years!  So I gave nature a try, and it worked on pain that even I doubted it could relieve.  

Rose Oil: Doctors in Iran performed a literature review for scientific validation of Rose Oil.  They  found 13 double blind studies, and discovered that rose oil is proven to increase happiness and relaxation, and decrease the pain of menstrual cramps, kidney stones, and post-surgical pain.   Avicenna J Phytomed. 2017 May-Jun; 7(3): 206–213

I don’t care about scientific proof, I have seen the effects with my own eyes.  But I did a literature review, to scientifically validate these plants so you could feel more at ease trying Nature for your healing needs!

Purchase physician grade plant medicine in our online store, and shop around.  I can personally vouch for True Pain Relief as a safe and effective alternative for headache pain,  and True Allergy Relief as a safe and effective alternative for seasonal, smoke, and animal dander allergies.  I put a woman on True Allergy Relief, and she was feeling the relief. 

Her partner forgot his version of allergy relief, while on vacation (3 pharmaceutical medicines).  In his desperation, he tried her “unscientific” medicine, and he is now choses Nature over 3 allergy medications, and appreciates the cost savings too!  Feeling is believing!  And clearly, science agrees.

Greater Comfort and Ease Through Menopause.

Research Proves True Menopause Ease resolves every BAD symptom of Menopause!

On our conditions page, I share the various approaches of six healing sciences for Menopause, but True Menopause Ease is the best resource I have found for relief of menopause symptoms.

The plant medicines that make up True Menopause Ease:

menopause

RESULTS: At 6 months, the women who received Wild Yam showed improvement in every clinical symptom investigated, and a significant improvement at 12 months.  The Greene Symptom Scale is a survey that includes anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, tiredness, headaches, body aches, hot flashes, and low libido.

 Wild Yam also had a positive effect on hormone balance.  (1)  “Results show that Wild Yam is useful for relief of symptoms of Menopause.”

And instead of side effects, you get side benefits.  Proven by Randomized Controlled Trials.  When you take Wild Yam, it significantly improves cognitive function, memory and inflammation levels, plus has “anti-aging” properties.

And that is just one of six truly amazing plants.

menopause

Angelica

In Italy, Angelica improved all those “bad symptoms” in just four weeks.  It also lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, therefore, Angelica is  a plant worth considering! (2)

In Germany, doctors compared Black Cohosh  to estrogen replacement and a placebo.  Black Cohosh improved bone density just as well as estrogen replacement, and vaginal dryness better than a placebo, but not as well as estrogen.  However, Estrogen Replacement Therapy was proven by the Women’s Health Initiative to increase heart attack, stroke, dementia, and breast cancer.

Black Cohosh was reported to have no side effects.  (3)  Clearly, Black Cohosh is another of Mother Nature’s gifts for menopausal relief.

Side benefits of Black Cohosh include significantly improving sleep, fibroid cysts, and your body’s response to stress!

Black Cohosh and Rhodiola combined works even better than Black Cohosh alone, on a physical level, but remarkably on the mental health level, improving mood, attitude, and happiness! (3.5)

menopause

Fenugreek

In India, Doctor’s had concern over the dangers of Estrogen Replacement Therapy, so they gave Fenugreek a try. 

Fenugreek increased estrogen levels by 120% in 90 days, and significantly relieved menopause symptoms, especially hot flashes.   (4

In London, Doctor’s searched medical journals for “Ginseng and menopause,” and discovered that Ginseng doesn’t work well for menopausal symptoms, but it seems to significantly increase Libido and “sexual arousal.”   (5)  That includes vaginal lubrication, giving True Menopause Ease an advantage over Estrogen Replacement Therapy in every symptom category, with no side effects.

Fenugreek side benefits include significantly improved blood sugar control, anxiety and physical strength, increased milk production in nursing women, lung function, and even improved Parkinson’s Disease symptoms!  With no side effects!

The research I shared are double blinded and placebo controlled, the highest standard for scientific evidence.

This plant medicine contains scientifically proven relief of Menopause symptoms, in addition it increases estrogen naturally.  A plant that balances hormones, plus lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.

What helps period cramps, PMS, mood swings, and PMDD?

Natural PMS Relief

Hi, my name is Dr. Stone.  A couple years ago I was treating a woman with autoimmune thyroid issues, and she started feeling so good that she stopped taking her thyroid medication!  With her restored energy and stability of health, she asked one visit, “Is there anything you can do for PMS?  I just screamed at everyone I love!” 

This medicine is what helps period cramps and moodiness, and PMDD.

I gave her True PMS Relief.  A month later, she said her pain and irritability were 80% better.  The next month she said she didn’t have any discomfort whatsoever!

Her periods were BAD, and she hadn’t mentioned it  because she thought PMS was “NORMAL.”  She knew the only medical solution was Birth Control and she was in the making babies time of her life.

And she only suffered for a week every month.

She may have taken True PMS Relief a month or two longer, but eventually it regulated her hormones so well that she hasn’t needed to use it for the last 3 years and counting.  She had a fourth baby in that time, and said it was her easiest pregnancy and delivery of all.  

This medicine IS what helps period cramping and moodiness, even PMDD.  Natural PMS Relief!

Is True PMS Relief scientifically proven to be safe and effective?

In the culture of medicine, worldwide, “safe and effective” is tested by double blind, placebo controlled clinical trials.  Just in case you are not familiar, that means that they gather a group of people with the same problem, and give half of them the prescribed medicine.  The other half are given a placebo, which is usually starch, sugar or salt pills. People often feel better just by someone offering them their care, so this model determines if the medicine works better than time or good intentions.  Double blind means that both the doctor and the patient do not know who is receiving the actual medicine.

If a clinical trial is performed anywhere in the world, it is published to a global database for physicians, and the access in our country is the National Library of Medicine website.  I share them all if you can understand them…they talk like doctors.  

These are the plants in True PMS Relief, and the research documented RESULTS.  

Yarrow: Female students at a local University were given Yarrow or a placebo.  The half consuming Yarrow had significant pain reduction in their first cycle after taking this medicine.  (1)

Hyssop: Doctors injected animal models with  chemicals that causes cramping of the uterus.  Hyssop blocked or significantly reduced the chemically induced cramping.   (2)

Maca Root: Doctors gave Maca Root or a placebo to 175 people.  After 12 weeks the patients taking Maca had improved perception of sexual desire, mood, energy  and health related quality of life compared to a placebo. (3)

Maca is a wellness herb.  It is proven to significantly improve quality of life in healthy volunteers.  The placebo group didn’t report the improvements in mood and wellbeing that Maca users felt!  Maca also relieves the sexual dysfunction that often accompanies taking anti-depressant medications.  (Try True Mood Lift for depression relief with NO side effects)

Maca significantly improves blood pressure and depression, and menopause, so this plant is good for a woman of any age!

Wild Yam: Researchers in Japan found Wild Yam to significantly increase memory and focus over 12 weeks as compared to a placebo. (4)

And instead of side effects, you get side benefits.  Proven by Randomized Clinical Trials.  When you take Wild Yam, it significantly improves cognitive functionmemory and inflammation levels, plus has “anti-aging” properties.

Dandelion Root:  Doctors gave animal models a toxic dose of Tylenol, and half also received Dandelion Root.  They found that Dandelion was effective in supporting liver detoxification and protecting the liver from being damaged.  The significance of that is that the last week before your period your physiologic need is efficiently eliminating the hormones that were produced for the thickening of the uterine lining, so that the shedding of that lining is easy and comfortable.  Dandelion is proven to increase the efficiency of liver detoxification, even under the strain of poisoning.   (5)

Combinations work better together!

Research proved that three of the five plant medicines in True PMS Relief  offer relief of PMS symptoms.  Two have compelling data that proves it works on the physiologic needs of a female cycle, relaxation of uterine muscle and natural elimination of hormone spikes.    

True PMS Relief is what helps period cramping, moodiness, and PMDD. 

A couple of women who purchased this medicine wished it didn’t work quite so well!  They used their pain and moodiness to know when their period was coming and after a few months their period came without warning.  

Women deserve relief from these symptoms!

I was taught that the primary desire of man is to bring happiness to their woman, and a woman’s desire is “loving attention.”  

If that is true, this is a perfect gift for men to give to their gal!  I doubt many men are searching for “Natural PMS Relief” so you ladies might have to teach them why this medicine would be a benefit to them.  

And safety is not even an issue.  There are times you shouldn’t take certain plants, because they are strong medicine.  But if you have PMS symptoms of any type, not only are they safe,  you will notice side benefits, such as improved circulation, digestion, and energy, because meeting the needs of your body with nourishment is good for you.  

One warning.  Most people, including me, think they taste bad.  Some so bad you wince and groan.  Mary Poppins made a suggestion, “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”  I have found that sugar doesn’t support  healing, but we have used stevia sweetened soda to make it easier for our kiddos.  Over time, they got used to the bitter taste and now take them directly by mouth, with a water or dark chocolate “chaser.”  

The first woman I mentioned was pregnant when she called  True Health.  She was very sick, and her baby suffered the effects too.  Since mom had such great results with plants, she opted for nature to treat her baby’s health issues too.  Her story is pretty amazing if you want to check it out.
