HERB TREATERS        
 

Providing too much medicine to those who have sleeping disorders can be harmful in other way. Sometimes these medicines can cause some neurological effects to the person. It is still best to use herbal medicine that is proven by the doctors to be effective so that you will get a comfortable night.

Many people with the disorder turn to caffeine and caffeine-containing herbs such as guarana, kola nut, and yerba mate; ephedrine-containing herbs such as ephedra (also called ma huang), Indian sida and bitter orange; or other herbs, including yohimbe and ginseng, to stay awake.

While caffeine and other herbal stimulants may, in fact, decrease sleepiness, people may place themselves in jeopardy by using these substances to disregard their biological sleep need or to control the symptoms of a more serious sleep disorder

According to surveys 27% are using medicines for fatigue, and 26% have used them for insomnia. Some herbs or dietary supplements may work to promote deeper sleep or daytime alertness, others have not been thoroughly studied, and some may even be dangerous.
