Schlaf Anhängsel
Cynos.: ‡ Kindern wurden früher Rosengallen unter das
Kopfkissen gelegt, damit sie besser schliefen. Daher der Name Schlafäpfel ‡
‡ Avena comp.wa,
wirken der Unruhe mit ihrer Komposition aus Hafer, beruhigendem Baldrian sowie
Phosphor und Sulfur in höherer homöopathischer Potenz
entgegen und helfen beim Einschlafen. So können Sie erholt den nächsten Tag in

Connection between sleep and the liver.
Many children and adults are overloaded in
their senses and metabolic system. This can overwhelm the liver and one of the
first symptoms of this stress is sleep disruption.
Healthy sleep is a time of regeneration. The
liver is our great “alchemist” always directing our bodies into life-giving
activity. The Prometheus. myth (his
liver is eaten by an eagle by day only to regenerate at night) is a wonderful
archetypal image of the rhythmical healing that occurs during sleep.
Bring rhythm into family life. This is often
difficult for parents who are also suffering the stresses of modern life.
Work “homeopathically
= make one consistent change has a radiating effect which leads to healthy
habits. Inner change is always more effective than outer change. The true
answer to the problem of stress is “present-mindedness” or “meditative
consciousness.” If we truly meet the day and “digest” it then stress can become
a positive force in life.
Mineral imbalances in young children. High Na
and low K dynamics are occurring in relation to the large amounts of refined,
processed foods children eat. K is a carrier of “etheric”
or “life” processes. These imbalances lead to food sensitivities, behavior and sleep disturbances and more. Food quality,
preparation, presentation and good digestive habits are very important. The
nervous system and sleep AFfected by this.
It is always a very individualized approach.
Look at many things: the constitution of the child, the pattern of their day
and week, what are the emotional tones in the home life, what are the cultural
supports. Often the child can be helped most by relieving some of the stresses
on the mother (meaningful priorities: in regard to rhythm and diet).
Living in a society where danger to children
are greater than the cobra or lion that could come into a village. Everywhere
we turn there are dangers (food additives/media/pollution/violence). And yet
healthy children must participate in their society. As a parent one must
navigate in a way that instills confidence and trust
in the child, not an easy task.
Bedtime: a feeling of ritual and reverence to
bedtime. A candle/an imaginative story (fairy tale: rich and nourishing)/a warm
sweet tea (peppermint/lemon verbena/linden/chamomile). Say good-bye to the day,
review it simply and put a thought of hope and confidence for what is coming
tomorrow. A foot massage alone or with Arnica Massage Oil, a little lavender
always calms the busy head and encourages sleep. Valerian, oat straw or passion
flower teas and drops can be helpful in some cases.
Sometimes a hot water bottle is helpful. An
anxious child might benefit from falling backwards onto the bed (not just
before sleep) as this can release fears of ‘letting go’. Just before bed try a
quiet walk backwards into bed.
Don’t forget not everything at once!
[Bertram von Zabern, M.D.]
Almost 1/3 of our lifetime is clouded in a state of unconsciousness or
dream. Sleep commands us to its domain when, after an extended day, it stops us
from continuing earthly work. While scientific research has provided many
details of the chemical and electrical activity of the brain, and psychology has
offered insights into the subconscious motivations of dream life, neither has
revealed much about why this mystery is such a necessary part of existence.
R.S.: Although sleep appears as a dullness of the mind, in its reality
it is an enhancement of consciousness our usual intellect does not grasp. We
catch a glimpse of the higher dimension of sleep at the uncomfortable moment when
we happen to be woken up from deep sleep, say, at 2:30 h. The discomfort is not
a physical pain, but rather the feeling of being torn away from an inner state
of bliss, to
which one would dearly like to return. Once we are ready to rest again,
we have to wait patiently until sleep takes us back to its sacred place.
R.S. pointed out that the spiritual life of the human being, in
thinking, and as the source of self-consciousness, engages during daytime in
many practical earthly matters and impressions that are alien to its true
being. It is at night that the spiritual self returns to its home, the
spiritual world, and reconnects with its genius.
While we are awake, we make many errors in how we relate to the world
and to the creative powers that govern nature. For example: we eat chaotically,
our eyes and brain have to deal with a computer monitor or a TV set, our
emotions are caught up in financial worries or in irrelevant disagreements. All
this negatively affects the health of the body we have received from nature,
and destroys it. But there is immeasurable wisdom at work to create and balance
the functions of the brain, the heart, liver, kidneys and so on. While we
sleep, the wisdom of creation tries to heal the damage caused in body and soul
during wakeful life.
About every third person in the United States suffers at some time in
the course of a year from insomnia and seeks help for it. The cause is usually
subtle imbalances rather than illness-related pain or crisis-generated anxiety.
Every organ system goes through typical biological rhythms (changes of day and
night). One of the main liver functions is assimilation, the building up of new substances like sugars, essential fats
and proteins. This phase becomes predominant in the evening and beyond
midnight. During deep sleep, the assimilation phase turns into a phase of
elimination, breaking down old substances to be detoxified and excreted through
the bile. The latter phase prevails during the second, dream-rich part of
sleep, and extends into awakening and the active morning hours.
We are unaware of the subtle turning point between the two phases of
liver function at about 3 h. unless it is pushed out of balance by mistakes in
nutrition. For a patient, who typically wakes up between 2 - 4 h. in the
morning, it is helpful to have a light supper earlier in the evening without
alcohol and to use herbal or homeopathic remedies to support the liver’s
function. Similarly, imbalances of other organs need to be considered as causes
of poor sleep.
Different rhythms (heart beat/blood pressure/fluid
elimination/digestion) closely depend on our daily lifestyle. The answer to
imbalances is not an escape from contemporary life and its obligations, but
lies rather in improving eating habits/exercise/sleep rhythm. Stress reduction
is a major challenge that may require professional help and careful inclusion
of balancing activities. Invaluable support comes from, music, eurythmy and artistic work.
Knowing about the spiritual essence of sleep, we can try to build up an
activity that strengthens our inner equilibrium, such as the evening retrospect
meditation, In it, we picture hour by hour in backward sequence the experiences
of the day. This exercise reveals a wealth of otherwise lost memory images and
helps to bring about a sense of inner reflection, gratitude and peace. This
retrospect meditation not only prepares us for good sleep, but it can become a
modest part of the restorative work the wisdom of sleep-life accomplishes every
night for us.
A healing science of sleep is one that encompasses the life of body,
soul and spirit. Our homework in studying it is to try to balance our own lives.
