Natural Ways to Make You Sleep – Common Hop

Authored By Admin  :  Category: General Health, Health Alternatives, Health Challenges, Natural Products

Many clinical studies show that the common hop, especially when associated with valerian, is one of the most powerful and non-toxic solution when it comes about ways to make you sleep better. A very ample and thorough study on patients in Germany (the country with the oldest tradition in studying and using hop) compared the effects of a synthetic drug frequently used against insomnia (benzodiazepine) with the combination of valerian and hop on two groups of patients.

The study results were more than encouraging: the hop and valerian combination has comparable effects, if not stronger, than benzodiazepine, but the natural product has 80-90% less secondary effects than the synthetic drug. It should be administered combined in equal proportions: hop alcoholic extract and valerian root. It is a good remedy for you, who desperately seek for ways to make you sleep.

The common hop is a wild plant that grows in bushes. It is cultivated mostly for the beer industry, but we can us it for better ways – to make you sleep, for example.

During the centuries, the common hop was used to treat: liver diseases, soothing pains, bladder diseases. It was also recommended for treating insomnia, stomach aching and anxiety or lack of appetite.
Common hop is amongst the best ways to make you sleep, acting as a major nervous sedative. This plant is also a diuretic, eliminating uric acid. It also acts as an anti-aphrodisiac, it calms menstrual aches, it is an astringent and activates blood circulation.

The infusion prepared from hops has healing effects in the case of: arthritis, rheumatism, anorexia, tuberculosis and neurotic anxiety.This infusion also stimulates the appetite and harmonizes the digestion process, helps eliminating the uric acid and calming panic attacks. The intern use of the infusion is also good for very painful menstruation, and used externally is useful in treating acne and vaginal trichomonas.

If you were looking only for ways to make you sleep, you may also use the following information for other persons that you care about or even for yourself if you happen to deal with some of these health issues.
Dry hops powder stimulates digestion, fights indigestion, helps with rheumatism, eliminates the colitis and heals arthritis. It should be administered before the main meal, 10 g with 50-100 ml water.

The infusion prepared with 1-2 teaspoons of chopped hops, on which you pour 250 ml of hot water, will be drunk in the evening, half hour before sleeping if you have sleep problems.

If you want to treat acne, you can use the infusion prepared from 2 teaspoons of chopped hops and 250 ml hot water.

Other uses of common hop are: flowers decoction will be used to treat gonorrhea, flowers and leaves will be used for poultices against aches.

I will come back with some other great natural ways to make you sleep. Until then, buy yourself some hop and/or valerian and enjoy every single night full of sleep! I know what it’s like to not be able to sleep for months and even years…Don’t worry, there is always hope as long as you don’t give up!

No back pain: Datura stramonium as a last resort

! NEVER INGEST/EAT any part of DATURA STRAMONIUM because it is  TOXIC!


I know very well what back pain is and I also know what means to not have any analgesics working for you. You feel completely helpless and you can tell by other people reactions that they don’t understand how serious it affects you. I write this post for those who are absolutely left without any help from prescription medicine or other herbs.Working for hours or spending entire days in schools or universities is very stressful for your back. When drugs have no effect, you can always rely on Datura stramonium to give you what you want: no back pain.

Datura stramonium (the “official” latin name) for the herb also known as jimson weed or thorn apple, was used as a cure for some diseases such as asthma, malaria, open wounds, swelling, Parkinson, sore feet. The leaves have anti-asthmatic, anti-rheumatic, anti-malaria, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic properties, especially in gastric disease. Because of the small amounts of scopolamine, it has a calming action on the central nervous system.  Some people also used it to have no back pain while suffering from awful pain due to accidents.

But what I have personally experienced was its power to reduce my back pains until there was no back pain. The method of usage is quite simple. If you have fresh leaves, you crush  1-2 leaves and simply apply the leaves juice obtained on the painful back area. If you want to conserve its properties or want a more elaborate recipe, you can try this: 15 leaves in 250 ml alcohol. You can apply it 1-2 times maximum per day. NEVER use it more often or you can put your health and life in danger. I use it twice per day when I can no longer endure the pain and I cannot get out of bed and the result is felt in an instant: no back pain in less than 2-3 minutes. The effect lasts for 5-6 hours or more (if you don’t force yourself) and I guarantee that you will have no back pain. If you don’t feel safe with this herb’s toxicity, then you can talk to your doctor to recommend a tincture/ointment for you or to establish the right dosage for you.

I tried every herb ointment, every drug, medical gymnastics, running, eating correctly – everything one can do to improve their health condition. But the back pain was still there and it still pretty much forces me to sit in bed for hours. It limited my social interaction, it made me more hostile to everything that is and the effects are even more widespread. In the last two months I managed to do some work in the house and to generally feel more sociable. I never imagined in the last five years that there could pass a day and no back pain would be felt. Although this is a great remedy – the ONLY that worked for me in these years – I recommend a cautious approach towards this plant because it is toxic and can lead to severe health damage if used improperly – sheep and cattle died after eating it.  You can understand why I must repeat my initial warning:

! NEVER INGEST/EAT any part of DATURA STRAMONIUM because it is  TOXIC/POISONOUS!
