Homeopathic treatment of Sleeplessness (Insomnia)
Homeopathic treatment is aimed at the underlying cause of sleeplessness and thus treats this disorder at the root. Whether the cause of sleeplessness is anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalance, or any medical condition, the treatment is aimed towards that cause and thus the disorder gets treated at this level. If there are any external (environmental) causes of the sleeplessness, these need to be corrected by the patient himself so that the sleeplessness is taken care of.

Why Homeopathy for Sleeplessness:

• Treats the underlying cause of the sleeplessness
• It improves the quality of sleep
• Not habit forming
• Does not have any side-effects
• Calms and relaxes the mind over a period of time
• Helps to effectively handle the stress where this is the cause of sleeplessness

There are numerous medicines in homeopathy used for a wide range of conditions. About twenty or more are commonly indicated for the cases of sleeplessness. Out of these, the required homeopathic remedy for a particular patient is determined after evaluation of the patient's case in great detail. The case-study is the most vital part of the treatment which incorporates the evaluation of the following aspects of the patient:

• Personality
• Life-style
• Food habits
• Emotional make-up
• History of illness suffered in the past
• History of illnesses in the family

Since the entire constitution (physical and mental) of the patient is evaluated in a systematic manner, the homeopathic treatment is called as the ‘constitutional treatment'. Thus the remedy for sleeplessness may differ from case to case based on the features mentioned above.
