Coffee Helps A Sleepless Husband

Question: My husband can’t sleep at night unless he has a cup of coffee. I have told him he is using homeopathy but he just laughs at me. Am I right?

Answer: Yes! Many people have

Homoeopathy uses ‘similars‘ to make a change to health problems. When someone who isn’t used to Coffee has a good strong brew of it they will become over-stimulated, restless, have racing thoughts and be unable to sleep. For those who already suffer from these symptoms, that same coffee will have a calming effect – it’s the ‘like treats like’ effect.

It’s not surprising then to find that potentised Coffee (Coffea cruda) is commonly used by homeopaths for types of insomnia, hyperactivity, palpitations, excitability and agitation – as these are all symptoms caused by coffee. The only difference is that homoeopaths prescribe coffee in potency to avoid the problems associated with excessive coffee consumption and to achieve an even deeper effect.

Before anyone races for the coffee pot, though, it is important to remember that coffee will only treat insomnia when symptoms match. If your insomnia is caused by health or money worries, concern for family members or an inability to get comfortable, your solution to a good night’s sleep will be found in another remedy. An appointment with your local homeopath will help you find which one.
