Getting enough sleep has become a form of
luxury that we are looking for in light of the pressures of life and stress
experienced by most people, especially employees who work long hours. Many of
them turn to sleeping pills, which are a type of addiction, to get comfortable
hours of sleep, but on the other hand, there are some herbs in the kitchen
cupboard that help us sleep and relax without resorting to medication.
Lavender or lavender flower
It may be among the most relaxing and
deeply sleeping herbs, as its aromatic oils are used in the manufacture of
candles. By sprinkling a few drops of lavender oil on the pillow or adding
herbs to a cup of hot water, we can get relaxation, and some mothers use it to
massage their children's bodies to help them sleep deeply.
Studies have proven that lavender flower
has an effective role in relieving headache and migraine pain.

Chamomile comes from the chrysanthemum
flower, and in addition to its benefit in treating flatulence and intestinal
pain, it helps you sleep when you drink it 35 minutes before going to bed.

which has great benefits in treating fever and weight loss, and is considered

that give the body rest and relaxation, and helps it get a deep and comfortable
