People that suffer from insomnia are always looking for solutions to eliminate the effects of the condition so that they can get a good night’s sleep.  There are a number of different treatment methods that can be used for curing insomnia but the most popular method seems to be the use of an insomnia medication.  The number of people that are helped by insomnia medication increase each year as more people decide that medication is their best option.

How Does The Medication Work?

An insomnia medication is generally a medication that can be used as an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication.  Because depression and anxiety are often pinpointed as two of the main causes of the condition, treating with these medications reduces the severity of their symptoms and helps them get to sleep each night.A few insomnia medications can be bought over the counter whereas some by a doctor’s prescription.

Most types of insomnia medicationswork by changing the amount of the chemical serotonin present in the brain which regulates the person’s mood and reduces the amount of stress that they are feeling.  Reducing the amount of anxiety the person is feeling can help the person manage the stress in their life.  The levels of the chemicals in the brain also affect the person’s sleep cycle and if the levels are imbalanced, chronic insomnia may result.

Using a medication as an insomnia remedy can be dangerous because of the risk of dependence to the medication.  Some people find that they become unable to sleep without taking the medication first while others find that they are taking more and more of the medication to achieve the desired effects.  If a person finds that they are becoming dependent on the medication, they should stop taking it and consult their doctor immediately.

The Side Effects Of The Medication

The side effects associated with using an insomnia medication can vary, just like taking other types of medications.  The most common side effect linked to taking an insomnia medication is lingering grogginess when the person awakens in the morning.An individual can suffer with congestion, headaches and imbalance.  In many cases, the side effects will begin to disappear over time if the person uses the medication on a regular basis.

Insomnia medication can only be effective if the cause of the development of insomnia is stress or anxiety.  If the insomnia is caused by something else, like a medical condition or a different medication, then this treatment method may be ineffective.  It is important to understand what causes the insomnia before deciding on a treatment method for the condition.  An insomnia medication is only effective in certain cases.

Standard Medicine May Have IT ALL WRONG!

The position that the reason for all the menopause symptoms is due to an imbalance of hormones is a superficial perspective and deserves a deeper look. Menopause symptoms may include:

Are these symptoms tied to deficiency of hormones? Could it be systemic? The whole body is may be suffering from top to bottom.

ANOTHER PROPOSAL – UNDERLYING CAUSE: 

Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective: Menopause is considered a deficiency condition of the liver and qi (life force). When the blood and energy quality is depleted and contaminated then all of the organs cannot complete their tasks. This condition causes the liver to overheat which rises through the body, wreaking havoc in its path. The heart, lungs, digestion, glands, throat, mouth & teeth, nose, eyes, ears, brain, skin and hair become heated and dried resulting in the symptoms, listed above. In addition, the liver does not filter the blood where it becomes sluggish and clotted.

Since the body is lacking of vital life energy and superior filtered blood, then the glands cannot excrete as usual. Their secretions may be sporadic or non-releasing altogether. When the blood is filtered, normally, enriched then all the body’s organs improve. Progressively, the energy returns and body functionality re-stabilizes. The glandular functions, emit once again, supporting the body in its vital function.

The body is not deficient of hormones. The blood is clogged like sludge. Glands are not receiving/transmitting essential messages, timely and/or minimally!

In this case, why do we ingest or provide supplementary hormones. Doesn’t that risk an overload of hormones? Remember when you were a kid and your hormones were super revved. We don’t want to risk going through that again. We have sufficient hormones. If we feed our blood, exercise not to exhaustion, sleep reasonable hours, keep a lifestyle of manageable stress, etc. our hormones come back and supports increased balance.

Accordingly, if Chinese medicine understands the dilemma, then what is their response to this insufficiency? Look below.
