Picture of The Day

IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP NATURALLY 

We have all experienced it. That wonderful sensation of emerging from a restful night's sleep feeling well-rested, energised, and prepared to take on the day.

That sensation appears to be a hazy reminiscence of a long-gone time for many of us. A hopeless pipe dream from a previous life. With the obligations and stresses of modern life, how could we possibly get a good night's sleep?

Well, nature might have an answer...

Naturally occurring chemicals found in plants and herbs have been used for thousands of years to help people achieve more restful sleep. Here are our top 3 picks backed by modern science.

Valerian Root

The usage of valerian root as a sleep and stress aid is centuries old. It is used to treat sleep-related conditions such as stress, anxiety, headaches, and heart palpitations. A valerian root extract has been shown in studies to improve sleep without the negative effects of conventional sleep medications.

Due to the two naturally occurring sedatives in valerian root termed valepotriates and sesquiterpenes, it works well as a sleep aid. In one study, almost 90% of participants reported having better sleep after consuming valerian tea. Another study found that using a valerian extract helped people sleep better and fall asleep more quickly.

Some people reportedly find the earthy taste and smell of valerian root offensive. A small amount of honey or maple syrup may assist to enhance the flavor of your tea.

Lemon Balm

The mint family plant known as lemon balm, or Melissa officinalis, has a mildly sweet and lemony aroma. Tea and essential oil are the two most popular lemon balm preparations. In the past, viruses and illnesses have been treated with lemon balm's antiviral and antibacterial properties. It has the ability to aid nighttime insomniacs as well.

A cup of lemon balm tea in the evening may help with insomnia symptoms. Additionally, lemon balm may lessen anxiety and depression. Participants who took 500 milligrams of lemon balm in a research comparing the herb to a conventional antidepressant had higher quality of life scores than those who did not.

If you struggle with restlessness and anxiety before bed, having a cup of lemon balm tea each night can be a smart choice for you. You might get better sleep if you incorporate it into your evening routine as a technique to help you unwind before bed.

Chamomile

For many years, chamomile flowers have been used to cure a number of conditions, including insomnia. Apigenin, one of the active chemical substances found in chamomile, when it combines to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, produces a slight sedative effect.

Despite the lack of data, chamomile has been shown to enhance sleep quality. According to a study of postpartum mothers, those who drank chamomile tea experienced fewer sleep difficulties and depression symptoms. In a different research on senior citizens, those who got chamomile reported sleeping more soundly than those who did not.

These top three teas have been used throughout history to encourage people into slumber and are being further backed up by science as viable options for sleeping aids

📰 Positive News Of The Day! 

A baker in the English town of Guisborough, pop. 17k or thereabouts, is reviving an ancient tradition to help his neighbors endure high energy costs.

Thousands of years ago, societies built one oven in town where everyone went to bake their bread, and now Ed Hamilton-Trewhitt from Brickyard Bakery is offering to bake Christmas cakes for anyone worried about the energy costs of turning on the oven for several hours.

“At this time of year, there can be no greater expression of love than baking the family Christmas cake, but that is being lost because of the prohibitive energy costs in running an oven for a few hours,” said Baker Ed. “At Brickyard, we want to help by reviving a tradition lost to our community for centuries, the community oven.”

🗣️ LEARN SANSKRIT

UJJAYI: You’ll probably come across this word in the first few moments of your class. Teachers usually say something like “if it’s in your practice, come to your ujjayi breath now”. Commonly also referred to as the oceanic breath. Ujjayi breath is widely translated as “victorious breath,” and should be energizing and relaxing. It has been used for thousands of years to enhance hatha yoga practice.

The sound of Ujjayi is created by gently constricting the opening of your throat, creating a little resistance to airflow. The sound you create with your inhale and exhale resembles the soothing sound of ocean waves, which helps us synchronize your breath with your movements on the mat.
