iI the UK, 37% of adults experience insomnia and therefore are not getting the recommended minimum of 7 hours of sleep per night. And an estimated 1 in 20 (5%) are getting by on four hours or less.
Currently our conventional medical system offers only one option in the form of a sleeping pill. In fact, according to research, approximately one in 10 people are regularly takes some form of sleeping tablet.
However, we know that one size does not fit all. And, as with everything we do at Seed, we also know that we need to address the root cause rather than just treat the symptoms to enable true healing and recovery.
In this episode, Magalie Valadier, Seed’s Medical Herbalist, shares her incredible knowledge and know-how around the power of specific plants and herbs to aid those struggling with sleep. Said Magalie, "Insomnia is a very broad term but there are lots of different types with different causes and each needs to be treated very differently. It could be due to hormones, life transitions, trauma, stress or a specific health condition.
"Medical Herbalists are trained medically and instead of working with conventional drugs like a GP, we work with natural herbal medicine. We also take time to look for the root causes of the symptoms, analysing lifestyle, diet and general health."
