Chronic Insomnia is a condition characterized by difficulty falling asleep and/or remaining asleep that lasts over two months.

Insomnia: Symptoms

Insomnia itself may be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. However, there are several signs and symptoms that are associated with insomnia:

• Difficulty falling asleep at night
• Awakening during the night or earlier than desired
• Wake up still tired even with long hours sleep
• Daytime fatigue or sleepiness
• Irritability, depression or anxiety
• Poor concentration and focus

Possible Causes of Insomnia

• Drugs, alcohol, medication: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, stimulants, antidepressants
• Lifestyle, habits & environment: ‘jetleg’due to travel, job shift changes, high altitudes, , stimulant activities at night (tv, games,…)
• Psychological issues: stress, anxiety, depression, mania, schizophrenia
• Nutritional Deficiency: lack of important minerals, vitamins and amino acids
• Hormones Imbalance: oestrogen, hormone shifts during menstruation
• Other factors: Diseases, Digestive problems, genetic conditions, overactive mind, pregnancy.
  

Pineal Gland: Melatonin & Serotonin and Biological Rhythms

The major cause of insomnia is the failure of the body to produce sufficient amounts of melatonin. This chemical is most active in the dark, regulating our natural biological rhythms in presence of light or dark.

Melatonin is produced in the pineal gland from Serotonin – our “feel good” chemical, which is derived from Tryptophan, an amino acid found in our food.

There could be several causes for your Melatonin not being produced and used as it should. Our aim is to find out the reasons to be able to dissolve it and promote healing in a natural way as the body has the amazing ability to heal itself when we show it how.

Natural Treatment for Insomnia

Holistic Kinesiology aims to find the underlying cause(s) of a condition impairing the wellbeing of an individual and bring it back into its previous and natural balance .

Let’s find out what your body is saying

We are all different, so what may be beneficial for one individual, may not be for another.
That is why Kinesiology reads the response from your Nervous Systems in a biofeedback system to pinpoint the possible causes of your condition, using your own body as a tool, nobody else’s.

All your symptoms & thoughts matter

It is probable that your Holistic Practitioner will ask you questions about your health, behavior, stress related experiences as they may inter-relate very closely with the main cause of your Insomnia.

Holistic Kinesiology Assessment:

In a session expect your practitioner to assess and discuss some of those with you (if it is relevant to your issue):

• Emotional overwhelm & old traumas triggering Nervous System response

• What are your hobbies and if you are finding time for them

• Worries about money, people causing frustration

• Stress held in muscles, organs, glands, connective tissue, bones, blood, skin

• Whether there is hormonal imbalance, specially Melatonin and Serotonin

• Whether there is excess Cortisol Hormone affecting sleep

• Whether there is a congested digestive system preventing you from absorbing balancing and cellular repairing nutrients
