Suggest Therapy For Insomnia
Hello thank you for your quick response. I am struggling with sleep for 5 months and tend to sleep well (6 -7hrs) every other night. I am ingesting holy basil in capsule form to help control stress levels during the day and therefore decreasing stress levels overall, that may be affecting sleep. I really have no other symptoms. Do you know of any useful and tried medical solutions? I fear taking medication. In fact, I don't wan to. How have you helped patients with this issue?
