In this article, we explore Kulasu Mudra, a specialized Mudra(hand gesture) designed to address insomnia and promote restful sleep.
Understanding Insomnia and Natural Sleep Aids
Insomnia, or sleeplessness, can stem from various factors, including stress, changes in environment, underlying health conditions like diabetes, and even neck pain. Before introducing the mudra, let's review some natural sleep aids:
Dietary Habits: A light dinner consumed before 7 PM can promote better sleep. Warm milk, potentially with a banana, can be a calming bedtime snack.
Sleep Hygiene: Establishing a regular sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and ensuring a comfortable sleep environment are essential.
While sleeping pills may seem like a quick fix, they can have drawbacks, including dependency and reduced effectiveness over time. Kulasu Mudra offers a non-pharmacological approach to addressing insomnia.
