A homeopathic remedy for calming your thoughts so you can sleep

Does your mind race at night when you're trying to go to sleep? Are you unsatistfied with or trying to avoid prescription medicines like Lunesta or Ambien? Coffea cruda is the top homeopathic remedy for sleeplessness. It is non-addictive, inexpensive, and great to keep on hand so you can drift of to dreamland naturally with no side effects or "hangover" the next day.

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.................

When your mind is racing 

"The Mental Jitters"

As a homeopathic remedy, Coffea is used to treat insomnia caused by excessive mental activity. It is also useful for over-excitement and for preventing nightmares and vivid, disturbing dreams.

Freshly Picked Coffee Berries

Not your morning coffee 

Homeopathic Coffea cruda

This remedy is prepared from whole, unroasted coffee beans. It is then diluted, succussed, and bottled using plain pills or tablets as the delivery carrier.

Coffee? To help you sleep?

Well, not exactly. Homeopathically prepared Coffea has quite a different effect than you would think - and taking it won't give you a boost in the morning - but read on to discover why it works and why it's safe.

Order Online 

Coffea is commonly available in health food stores and pharmacies, but if you can't find it, Amazon has a great price.

Coffea Cruda 30C - 80 - Pellet

Amazon Price: $6.68 (as of 09/05/2008)

What can I say? It works.

How Does It Work 

The "un-stimulant" stimulant

The primary law of homeopathy is "similia similibus curentur", or simply put, "like cures like". Substances that can make you ill (or hyper, as in the case of coffee) can also cure you. Coffee is a stimulant, therefore if someone is over-stimulated, administering a homeopathic preparation of coffee will counter-act that.

Think about how hyperactivity is treated in children with ADHD. Do doctors prescribe a sedative to calm them down? No, the ADHD medications, like Ritalin, are STIMULANTS. Yet, these stimulants actually counteract the hyperactivity.

To put it VERY simplistically, I like to explain it like this: A fly lands on your arm and it tickles. The fly has stimulated the nerve endings in your skin. So, what do you do? You scratch it. You apply MORE of the same stimulation which caused the itch in the first place, and the tickling sensation goes away. This is much like the action of homeopathic remedies - taking a substance which causes your symptoms only stronger, will "knock out" the symptoms you were suffering from. It overpowers them, and stimulates your body to mount a defense.

Keynotes 

From Henry Clay Allen, M. D.

People Who Can Benefit From Coffea Have One Or More Of The Following Symptoms:



Oversensitiveness; all the senses more acute, sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch.

Unusual activity of mind and body.

Full of ideas; quick to act, no sleep on this account.

Ailments: the bad effects of sudden emotions or pleasurable surprises.

Sleepless, wide-awake condition; impossible to close the eyes; physical excitement through mental exaltation.

Headache: from over-mental exertion, thinking, talking; one-sided, as from a nail driven into the brain, as if brain were torn or dashed to pieces; worse in open air.


From Allen's Keynotes. Dr. HC Allen 1836-1909

About Me 

I am a graduate of the Homeopathy School of Colorado and hold the designation of CHom (Classical Homeopath). While at the school, I had the privelege of training under homeopaths Alastair Gray, DSH, PCH, Judith Reichenberg-Ullman, ND, DHANP, MSW and Robert Ullman, ND, DHANP, and Kim Elia. I also participated as a supervisor in the published proving of Aquilegia vulgaris - the common Columbine.
I have been providing online consultations for 2 years in addition to my regular in-office practice.

I've used Flower Essence Remedies personally and with my children, my pets, and other family members for the past 8 years and with my homeopathic clients for 4 years. I have been heavily influenced Ian Watson's work with using flower essences in tandem with homeopathy

I have received training in Flower Essence Therapy, Western Herbal Medicine, Reflexology, Health Counseling, Holistic Counseling, Nutritional Counseling, Reiki and Crystal Healing, and Eastern Meditation for health issues.

My philosophy is to offer the BEST care available to each client in a complementary way. I believe that everyone should be educated about all available options regarding their health and well-being and to have access to the best of all systems, whether they be traditional or modern, allopathic or holistic. Integrative medicine benefits everyone.

Living on the beautiful plains of eastern Colorado, I share my life with my husband of 14 years, our 4 children, our horses, cats, goats, a dog, and a ferret.

Wiki to put you to sleep........... 

Insomnia is a symptom of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.

Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans suffer from insomnia each year. Insomnia occurs 1.4 times more commonly in women than in men.

5 star lens! I love flower essence remedies. I had sleep disorders for 20 years, trying to solve the world's problems, the company's problems, other issues, or listening out for children and dogs... It's no joke, people are desperate for this information!

Now my Solaris Blanket balances the body together with the low level laser, both also stimulating production of dopamine and seratonin and calming me from a stressful day...so I sleep well and migraines are a thing of the past! Still use my flower essences, too, though...and interested in trying coffea cruda. Fascinating! Thanks for the education.
