You go to the family doctor to consult him about your insomnia problem and the first thing he does is prescribe a sleeping pill. It may be the quickest remedy, but it’s certainly not a long-term solution. For this reason, we continue to search for the best treatments against insomnia and we have found some alternative therapies that can help us sleep more and better.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is one of the techniques that we like the most because it is effective and also pleasant. Immersing ourselves in the world of aromas is always pleasant, especially when we are going to benefit from the experience in the form of a more restful sleep. With essential oils to set the bedroom, but also with lavender, orange blossom, lemon balm or jasmine scented massage oils, we will be able to sleep much earlier and more relaxed.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine and has thousands of years of experience behind it. The introduction of needles depending on which parts of our body can help us fight insomnia, as well as treat relationship disorders such as stress, anxiety and depression.
Yoga
The practice of yoga is recognized as one of the best techniques to enjoy an excellent quality of life. Regarding insomnia, the benefits of yoga are also observed, since some of its postures stimulate blood circulation and brain function that regulates sleep cycles. The maximum exponent of the balance between body and mind can help us overcome insomnia in a healthy way and without side effects.
Music therapy
The benefits of music therapy have already been verified for some emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. In the case of insomnia, many people sleep better after listening to relaxing music for a few minutes. In addition, it is a therapy that reduces negative thinking and removes the concerns that disturb us and prevent us from sleeping.
Chromo therapy
Chromo therapy or the use of colors to alleviate certain ailments is not yet a widespread practice, but it seems to us to be one of the most interesting alternatives. Colors exert a great influence on our mood and can change it in both a positive and negative way. To combat insomnia, the predominant color in our bedroom will be blue, both on the walls and in the furniture and bedding. Although we can also add small touches of pink, soft orange or green.
