Natural remedies to tackle the bedtime tussle

There's nothing worse than lying awake at night, tossing and turning with the stresses of your day still in your head.
More than simply frustrating, a lack of sleep prohibits you from reaching your true potential the next day.
Tiredness makes you grumpier, less alert, and less able to perform at work.
Before reaching for chemical-filled sleep caplets, there are plenty of natural methods that you can try to help you get a relaxing and energising sleep.
Routine
Research has shown that the way to ensure an easy drop off is by having a scheduled sleep pattern.
Jessica Alexander of The Sleep Council, said: "The key to getting a good night's sleep is routine - keeping regular hours and going to bed and getting up at roughly the same every day. This will help to programme the body to sleep better."
Set yourself and your bedroom up for sleep at the same time every night. Try using a scented candle to promote relaxation and the feeling of lethargy.
Yoga
Your daily exercise regime plays a role in how you sleep at night.
It tires the body out, leaving you calm and relaxed by night time.
"Exercise helps to surrender to sleep both physically and mentally," Steve Halsall, fitness expert says.
Yoga is an easy and effective way to exercise and relax. It is simple and comfortable - you can merely grab a yoga mat and perform the routine in the comfort of your own home.
Cut down on caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant, and so keeps your mind and body ticking over, even when you may not want it to. Some researchers believe that caffeine can affect you even ten hours after you have consumed it!
That's not to say you need to avoid tea altogether - green and herbal teas are a brilliant winter warmer, without containing any of the negative stimulants of normal coffee and tea.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
