Sleep, dream, be all that you are... (Image credit: Freya Coursey)This photo reminds me of Alice & Wonderland, or a happy dream. A vibrant, colorful walk through a forest also comes to mind... all after a restful sleep.
Without sleep, our whole viewpoint on life changes. All that was once beautiful becomes overwhelmed by heavy eyelids, low energy, a negative mind, or a feeling that maybe tomorrow will be better. If you cover up a lack of sleep with caffeine, eventually health problems will arise—and certainly mood swings, pending disease and an unbalanced physique.
Without sleep we are not living the lives we are meant to. Don't you want the best for your health? Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a 2,000-year-old Chinese-based medical practice and theory based on herbs, acupunture, massage, exercise and diet, concerned with digestion, breathing, aging and harmony in the body. TCM has a few remedies to improve your quality of sleep that I'd like to share.
