Can't Sleep? Non Addictive Natural Solution Does Exist

by Dr. Donna Schwontkowski, Master Herbalist, D.C. (ret)

When was the last time you got a good night of sleep? If you can't sleep, everything in life seems a little less vibrant the next day and energy levels start to wane. A single night of not sleeping is when we remember just how valuable sleep is to our well-being. The less sleep we get, the more anxiety we start to feel. We begin searching for either sleeping pills or all natural help.

Insomnia is a Problem with Cancer Patients, Too

It's not only healthy people who can't sleep from time to time or are feeling the stress and anxiety of life fall upon their shoulders. Patients with cancer often experience sleep problems. One of the first signs of cancer can be that a person is awakened at night with pain. During the development of cancer, that pain often worsens, depending on the body part affected by the cancer. Even during chemotherapy, insomnia usually occurs and leaves people very tired.

About 70% of those diagnosed with cancer experience a prolonged period of anxiety, stress, depression and insomnia, nights where they can't sleep, before a diagnosis of cancer. The bad news is that if left alone for long periods of time, anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress can start to become behavioral patterns difficult to break out of. Finding a solution is important and a natural solution, something that relieves the nervous system and is non addictive makes the best sense.

How All Natural Herbs Work to Help Create Tranquility

One natural solution to reduce anxiety and insomnia and reduce the times you just can't sleep, even in extreme situations such as with cancer, is an herbal formula called Relazovac (R). The herbs included in this formula are jujube, coptis, Chinese skullcap, Astragalus, Rehmannia, Poria, dong quai, and Oriental arborvitae.

Wild Jujube seed is known to relieve irritability and to aid sleep. Chinese scullcap has tranquilizing effects and is used to treat lung cancer, liver cancer, and colon cancer. Poria seed soothes the nerves, pacifies the spirit, and tranquilizes the heart. Oriental arborvitae tranquilizes the heart, calms the spirit. Almost every one of these herbs has been used traditionally for several different types of cancer.

Relazovac (R) calms mind and body, and promotes longer and deeper sleep without being non drowsy and non addictive. Many people report that they feel refreshed the next morning. This might be because Relazovac (R) decreases neurotransmitters who are stress-inducing, easing stress, anxiety and mild depression allowing for deep restful sleep. Research shows that Relazovac promotes optimal sleep patterns by increasing the amount of slow wave sleep and the total amount of sleep.

If you haven't had a good night's sleep in awhile whether or not you have cancer, consider trying tha all natural herbal formula Relazovac (R). For more info on reducing chemotherapy side effects, see the articles featured on chemotherapy side effects.
