Discussion: I am a cancer patient, I have a hard time falling asleep, and I want to stop taking sleeping pills after being addicted to them for years. Is there a natural way?

I recommend that cancer patients minimize the consumption of non-cancer medications, including sleep medications.

The first period of falling asleep without sleeping pills is the most challenging, after which sleep becomes more natural. Reflexology is recommended before bedtime, especially in the early stages of withdrawal from sleep medications. Reflexology is very soothing, especially in the Asian method of immersing the feet in hot water. Dipping feet in hot ginger water is very effective. (Caution from burns)

Natural solutions to insomnia include:

Drinking natural juices in the evening, before dinner on an empty stomach, improves metabolism and liver and kidney function.
It is advisable to avoid eating meat and carbohydrates together, especially in the evening and at night.
Significantly reduce the consumption of processed and industrialized foods and beverages.
A short 30-minute walk after dinner improves digestion and confirms better sleep.
Acupuncture effectively treats sleep problems, although several treatments are often required to feel the change.
Reflexology before sleep is relaxing. It will help you sleep.
