“The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Sleep” is a symposium that is taking place until 10 a.m. Pacific Time. One topic being discussed is the use of meditation and yoga for the treatment of insomnia.
A small pilot study (#0874) presented yesterday reported that Kriya Yoga – a type of meditation that combines different yoga techniques – may be an effective behavioral treatment for chronic primary insomnia.
Another topic being discussed is the efficacy of acupuncture on sleep in depressed pregnant women. In February the Sleep Education Blog reported on a new scientific review of acupuncture use for insomnia. The authors conclude that acupuncture has potential as an insomnia treatment, but there is only limited evidence to support its use. Read the full report.
In 2006 the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), part of the National Institutes of Health, reported that more than 1.6 million American adults use some form of CAM to treat insomnia or trouble sleeping.
A 2007 study of CAM use published in the journal SLEEP reported that large segments of the U.S. population use valerian or melatonin for insomnia, and usage typically falls outside the purview of the health-care system.

Alternative medicine is completely a natural way of energizing the soul and touching the spirit. Alongside the beauty of developing the self, there is a sense of healing and fulfillment that comes with power that is pure in intention—the power to become better.

ReplyDeleteI have been using natural cosmetics from last two years for my hair loss and i was impressed with the results whenever i review myself in the mirror i feel more confident because of herbal healing shampoo. I am literally transformed, this web page changes my view against natural cosmetics, I was bit scary first to use natural cosmetics and now i am addicted to this.
