The secret of deep nights: Can everyday plants change the quality of our sleep?
Insomnia robs you of energy and weakens the entire body over time. But instead of resorting to classic sleeping pills with all their side effects, a fascinating approach may be hidden right in nature - and on your plate. Certain plants, which traditionally serve as both food and medicinal herbs, interfere with the chemistry of the brain in amazing ways. They specifically modulate messenger substances, dampen inflammation and even change the intestinal flora in order to program the organism for rest. Which common plants have this unexpected effect on sleep and how they have the potential to open up completely new ways to achieve a restful sleep often remains undiscovered. Find out which natural resources might hold the code to better nights.
