Comfrey Root 1:3
Comfrey Root 1:3
Comfrey has been used for centuries as a way to
promote healing.
Comfrey is used for burns, surgery, cuts, ulcerations
in the gastrointestinal tract (ulcers, ulcerations, bowel
surgery), breaks and fractures to bones, for poorly
healing bones, and for osteoporosis. Comfrey was so
widely used by herbalists to promote more rapid repair
of broken bones, it earned the common names bone-
set and knitbone.
Comfrey is the preeminent herb to promote healing
of tissue ranging from skin, soft tissue, broken bones,
fractures and it promotes calcium re-uptake into the
bones.
Controversy surrounds Comfrey because of its’ con-
tent of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA). This potentially liver
toxic substance is in minimal concentration in this dry
plant extract (it is higher in fresh plant Comfrey) It is
for short-term use (up to 2 months) and does not nor-
mally present a problem unless liver pathology exists
(see contraindications below).

Natural Sleeping Aids
By Evita Ochel, CHN
It is estimated that 25% of
Americans take some type of med-
ication every year to help them
sleep. And about 40% of
Americans with insomnia self-med-
icate with over the counter sleep
medication. This is not good news
for most, as sleeping pills can
severely hurt one’s health and
sleep cycles, both short and long-
term.
I want to share with you some
quick facts of why you should not
simply settle for pharmaceutical
sleep medication and introduce
you to several natural sleeping
remedies that may be able to help,
while not causing complications or
worse sleep disturbances in the
long run.
Before You Consider A
Sleeping Aid
Before you consider taking any
natural or artificial remedies to help
you sleep, you must first under-
stand that the process of sleep is a
very strictly controlled and bal-
anced cycle in the body. If you
were to live as naturally as possible,
you would find that your body gen-
erally speaking has no problems,
falling asleep, staying asleep and
waking up when necessary.
However, seeing that our culture
and lifestyles have taken many of
us as far away from our natural way
of living, we have to face the fact
that we have also disrupted one of
our most primal responses – our
sleep cycles. And when we take
sleeping aids, we are interfering
even more with this delicate system
within us.
So before you try any sleeping
aids, I strongly urge you to first take
a serious look at your life, because
a life out of balance, usually means
sleep out of balance. It is too con-
venient in our society to mask all
symptoms with a quick fix, like a
pill. However, we have to under-
stand that every symptom our body
gives us, including sleep problems,
is the body’s way of telling us that
something is out of balance.
Thus the more sound and long
term solution is to fix the balance,
not mask the symptom of the
imbalance. The biggest reason of
why people have sleep problems is
stress, over thinking, anxiety,
depression and similar issues.
These are all fixable, of course not
as easy as taking a pill, but fixing
these is the real and high quality
solution. Anything else does not
compare.
Having said this, I still want to
leave you with a quick resource of
natural sleeping aids, because I
know that some people will still
want a quicker fix, and sometimes,
do not get me wrong, a life situa-
tion may warrant that for someone.
This way you can first consider nat-
ural aids, which are much less dis-
ruptive to your body, rather than
their chemical counterparts.
Why You Should Not Take
Pharmaceutical Sleeping Pills
As with all other pharmaceuticals,
having the unwanted symptom go
away, ALWAYS comes with a price.
The price may be big or small and
in some cases may even be unno-
ticeable to us, but never to our
body.
So whether they are over the
counter or prescription based, if
you are considering this avenue, I
highly urge you to exhaust all other
options first. Risks associated with
these pills can, but are not limited
to, being associated with the fol-
lowing:
* Not being very effective and a
waste of your money
* May impair daytime alertness
and awareness
* May be habit forming and/or
addictive
* Create more unnecessary work
for the liver
* Can make the body become
dependent on them, making sleep
impossible without them
* Proven to reduce the amount
of time that you spend in a deep
sleep
* Quick to develop a tolerance
to, thereby needing higher doses
* May cause feeling drowsy the
next day, dizziness, dry mouth, uri-
nary retention, constipation, and
blurred vision
* Are not curing the insomnia or
its root cause, are masking the
symptoms and artificially pushing
your body into a sleep state
Natural Sleeping Aids
The following list includes some
natural sleeping aids. Some are to
be taken orally, while others can be
applied topically or infused in your
sleeping environment.
Please note, that I have never
tried any of these myself for regu-
lating or inducing sleep, and hence
cannot comment personally on
their effectiveness. I have put
together the following information
as a resource with which you can
begin considering natural sleep
aids. If you decide on a particular
one, it is highly recommended that
you thoroughly research it further
before using it, as sometimes peo-
ple underestimate the power of
plants when it comes to medical
effects.
1. Hops
Is a flowering vine native to
North America, Asia, and Europe.
Hops have been used for centuries
for their sedative qualities to help
promote positive support for sleep
difficulty, occasional anxious feel-
ings, restlessness, nervousness and
tension.
This herb has an excellent rating
in terms of how it is tolerated and
no drug-related adverse effects
were reported in clinical trials
involving adults.
Hops are often combined with
Valerian, passion flower, and
German chamomile in herbal
preparations, in order to bolster it
effects. Hops are available for con
sumption as a dry herb, supple-
ment or tea extract.
2. Lavender
Specifically, Spanish Lavender
herb can ease anxiety, depression
and insomnia (among other things
as it acts as a mild sedative.
Lavender is usually consumed as
a tea, but can also be found in pill
form.
Research has confirmed that
lavender produces calming, sooth
ing, and sedative effects. Lavende
soothes, calms and harmonizes,
relieving nervous tension and irri-
tability.
3. Passion Flower
Is considered a mild sedative an
has been well documented as a
sleep inducing and even analgesic
agent.
Is most commonly taken in pill
form or tea form, or in blends wit
other herbal sleep aids.
It appears completely non-toxic,
but has possible interactions with
some medical drugs.
4. Valerian
Is one of the most popular mild
sedatives used in our society toda
and also has been noted to ease
nervous tension and anxiety. It is
not habit forming or addictive, no
