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.

How Does It Work
The "un-stimulant" stimulant
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.
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. Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. By definition, insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both" and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.
According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in the year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year. Insomnia is 1.4 times more common in women than in men.

My daughter has trouble sleeping. She also gets what she calls "needle headaches" that come on fast and leave in a matter of seconds. It sounds like the description "as from a nail driven into the brain" you listed above. I will have to get some coffea cruda. Do you have a favorite brand of homeopathics?
