Insomnia is a common problem that affects many people, making it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. Although there are medical treatments and therapies to address this disorder, many people prefer to turn to home remedies and natural solutions, as they are often more accessible, affordable, and less invasive. Below, I’ll share a homemade recipe that can help you effectively combat insomnia.
Homemade recipe for insomnia: Chamomile tea with honey and hot milk
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers (or one chamomile tea bag).
1 cup hot water.
1 teaspoon organic honey (optional, to sweeten).
1/4 cup hot milk (can be cow’s milk, almond milk, or oat milk).
Preparation:
Chamomile Infusion: Place the chamomile flowers in a cup and pour the hot water over them. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes to release the chamomile’s relaxing properties. If you prefer, you can use a chamomile tea bag for extra comfort.
Add the Hot Milk: While the chamomile is steeping, heat the milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Make sure it’s not boiling; it should be just warm or slightly hot.
Combine the Ingredients: Once the chamomile is steeped, strain out the flowers or remove the tea bag. Add the hot milk to the infusion and mix well.
Sweeten with honey: If you want a sweet touch, add a teaspoon of organic honey. Honey not only provides a pleasant flavor but also has relaxing properties that can help induce sleep.
Consume before bed: Drink this preparation approximately 30 minutes before bedtime. The warmth of the drink, combined with the relaxing properties of chamomile and honey, will help relax your body and mind, preparing you for a restful sleep.
