Dr. Stengler: We were talking about the importance of sleep on time back in other shows, and insomnia is unfortunately popular in America because of our stress levels and using too many electronics before we go to bed. Naturopathic medicine can help with insomnia as well, using things like acupuncture.
One in five American adults and kids have a chronic sleep problem, and you cannot be healthy if you have poor sleep. A lot of people don't get enough hours of sleep, or they get interrupted sleep. As naturopathic doctors, we look at what is causing the sleep problem: do you have something like sleep apnea, where you're not getting enough oxygen at night? Are you not sleeping well because of stress, hormone imbalance, or even digestive problems? We have the natural tools to help people balance out their sleep — whether it's herbs taken before bedtime, homeopathic remedies, which can be very effective, or acupuncture. So many tools we can use to help people sleep, so the body can regenerate and heal at night and your immune system works properly.
