Salt under your pillow and sleep like a baby

Almost every person has suffered from insomnia at least once in their life. This disease, although painless, causes a lot of problems. As a rule, sleeping pills can only be purchased with a doctor's prescription, but in fact, very few people go to the doctor complaining of insomnia - most solve the problem on their own and without taking medications. Bags of salt under the pillow can help get rid of this disease.

Why insomnia hurts, the main reasons

About 45% of the population suffers from insomnia. Unfortunately, some people choose to ignore this disease, considering it not serious. But its effect on the body is truly colossal. Insomnia contributes to the accumulation of fatigue, preventing the body from restoring energy reserves, and this affects not only a person’s current well-being, but also his overall health. Prolonged ignoring of it can lead to significant weakening and development of diseases of various organs.

The causes of insomnia are varied. The main sources of the problem include:

• Uncomfortable sleeping conditions. Noise, light, heat are the enemies of normal sleep, so before going to bed it is recommended to ventilate the room and turn off all light sources. It is recommended to place noisy equipment outside the bedroom.

IMPORTANT! Light sources also mean various light indicators (power on a laptop, charger for a phone).

• Consumption of foods and substances that stimulate the nervous system. These include nicotine, coffee, drugs, green tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and cola.
• Stressful situations.
• Drastic changes in life. Insomnia can be caused by both negative and positive changes.
• Diseases whose symptoms include insomnia or constant pain.
• Sleep disturbances. This is often facilitated by working different shifts.
• Depression, apathy.
• Age. Older people often experience changes in the cerebral cortex, which lead to various sleep disorders.

These are just the main causes of insomnia. Sometimes it is difficult even for doctors to identify the source of this disease in a particular person, due to the individuality of each organism.

How salt helps cope with insomnia and nightmares

The energy value of salt is undeniable and unique. In Rus', since ancient times, it has been a powerful remedy for getting rid of sleep disorders. It is believed that salt is the best way to restore the energy lost during the day.

According to other beliefs, salt helps to patch up “holes” in the protection of the astral body, so the body understands that now nothing threatens it during sleep and calmly falls asleep.

REFERENCE! Salt helps to cope well with insomnia, only if it is not of the chronic type. Otherwise, the result is less noticeable.

Often, to normalize sleep and get rid of nightmares, it is recommended to take salt orally (sometimes mixed with sugar), but this is not the safest option, since its excess in the body can lead to various diseases, and the correct dosage for a traditional medicine is difficult to find. You can also use salt externally to normalize sleep. The most convenient way is to keep a bundle of salt under your pillow.

IMPORTANT! If you have been prescribed medications, you do not need to replace them with salt. In this vein, it should be perceived as an additional tool.

How to make a salt bun under your pillow

This method has become so popular that ready-made bundles, small bags or pads can also be found in the store. However, it is much easier and more profitable to make a knot yourself. The algorithm of actions is simple:

1. Take a few pinches of pure table salt.
2. Place it on a handkerchief or a small piece of cotton fabric.
3. Tie a strong knot.

The bundle can be stored both under the pillow and next to it. Often people notice changes already after the first night.

In order to also get a healing effect from such a dream, it is recommended to drop a few drops of essential oil on the salt. Lavender is great for calming, and eucalyptus is good for the immune system. Citrus fruits are considered tonics, so it is better not to use them for sleep. The ideal option would be myra oil.

Health to everyone and good sleep!
