Insomnia in alternative natural medicine

  According to the natural law of duality (where expansion = yin, contraction = yang), insomnia is a contractive illness (tightness, tension headaches and agitation). Insomnia is triggered by a passing illness, a crisis. But the underlying cause of insomnia, like most illnesses, is the accumulation of faulty eating habits that violate the natural law of duality and produce imbalance. Insomnia is an illness of the second stage among the seven stages of illness. Insomnia is directly related to the liver, so the kidneys-lungs should also be considered in natural treatment. Kidneys-lungs are mother-father of the liver in the five elements theory of natural medicine.

Insomnia natural alternative treatment and cure

 

Food is best natural treatment. Foods affect insomnia positively or adversely depending on their type. Foods that restore natural balance miraculously cure insomnia naturally without side effects. Insomnia is contractive, and foods that cause contraction (meat, cheese, salt and vitamin A, etc.) will make insomnia worse. Foods that cause expansion will naturally cure insomnia and restore tranquility. With the right diet, insomnia can be cured completely. It takes from a couple of days to several weeks to cure insomnia depending on its severity and its cause.

Healthy mind in a healthy body   The seven conditions of good health include mental well being. Insomnia often results in mental troubles, like psychological distress, agitation and sometimes depression. Improvement in insomnia results naturally in psychological improvement. Becoming less preoccupied or overwhelmed with daily physical symptoms. This allows time to relax or meditate and be more hopeful and active.
Insomnia and macrobiotics

 

Curing insomnia does not require eating Japanese food

Most people believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. Macrobiotics is not just a diet. When we understand macrobiotics, we understand the laws of nature that govern our health and our being.

The macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

If you have insomnia and tried macrobiotics, particularly the #7 diet, but it did not work for you, then the foods you selected are not appropriate for your insomnia. Macrobiotics principles, used correctly, help select the foods to eat and the foods to avoid (some permanently and some temporarily) for treating and curing insomnia. Yin foods for Yang illnesses, Yang foods for Yin illnesses.

Insomnia and vitamin and mineral supplements   Food is best natural treatment. With a carefully designed diet for insomnia, there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some supplements can aggravate insomnia when taken randomly. Vitamin A & calcium supplements can actually make insomnia worse.
