Cure Insomnia Naturally With L-theanine.

By:


Hi, this is Dr. Mittag at Cure Insomnia Naturally.com. L-theanine is a substance found in green and black tea that lessens the impact of stress on the body and that this promotes healthy sleep.

If you want to cure your insomnia and do it naturally, if you do not want to have to use drugs that knock you out at night, or even use green drugs that are just sedatives that you have to rely on forever, what you want to do is look at the cause of insomnia.

For most insomnia the cause is actually high levels of stress hormones that alert the brain and keep you awake day and night. So these stress hormones are in a sense doing their job, they are keeping you alert, even if it is at night when you want to sleep. So what you want to do to relieve your insomnia is to lower the level of stress (and of stress hormones) in your body, and there are natural remedies that can do that.

Let us look at some of those remedies.

When you are stressed, the experience of stress includes stimulation of the brain and the release of stress hormones that affect your brain and your entire body. One way of trying to deal with stress is to consciously let it go.

Another common strategy for slowing down is to have a cup of tea to relax. This is interesting because tea (green or black) contains a substance called l-theanine. L-theanine is an extract of tea which has been shown to reduce stress.

Research shows that l-theanine helped student test subjects to relax and induced what is called an alpha state in the brain. It has been shown that once it is absorbed through the intestine into the blood it crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases the brains production of neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine and gaba).

One study out of Japan showed that if workers took l-theanine before and during a stressful task, it diminished activation of the sympathetic nervous system (which is the stress system).

By lowering the impact of stress on the body and thereby lowering the state of arousal of the brain, l-theanine could also help to promote healthy sleep. This is the paradox in treating insomnia, that we do it by lowering the amount of stress in the body and the activation of the brain, rather than by knocking you out at night the way sleep drugs do.

To cure insomnia naturally requires lowering the impact of stress on the body. Our product Vitalisom PM contains l-theanine and several mildly sedating herbs that help to promote healthy sleep without the side effects of sleep drugs.
