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
d epending 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.
