Sleep, the Full Moon, and CBD
The full moon can have a significant impact on us. People who generally struggle with sleep may find it especially challenging during this time.
What to do when nothing seems to work?
Do you drink chamomile tea, avoid watching TV, cut out black tea and caffeine, exercise regularly—yet still can’t seem to fall asleep?
Do you toss and turn, try breathing exercises, meditate, listen to calming recordings, and nothing helps?
Is your mind racing even an hour after getting into bed?
Do you stare at the ceiling, wide-eyed, with thoughts about work and financial worries keeping you awake?
Maybe you've even consulted a doctor, who prescribed you calming medication (anxiolytics, e.g., Neurol) or sleep aids (hypnotics, e.g., Midazolam).
These medications belong to the Benzodiazepine group, which should only be used short-term—around a month—because prolonged use can easily lead to dependency, making withdrawal extremely challenging.
People may experience side effects such as daytime fatigue and drowsiness, dizziness, aggression, irritability, apathy, and nightmares. These medications have a calming effect, helping us relax and fall asleep. While they address the symptom in the moment, they do not resolve the root cause. Without addressing the cause, true healing is not possible.
Maybe you've also tried CBD…
CBD is a cannabinoid, a compound extracted from the cannabis plant.
Just like antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications, which can temporarily help people navigate difficult life periods, CBD can support sleep, anxiety, pain, or stress relief. However, based on feedback from our clients, CBD mainly suppresses symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.
Many people become dependent on CBD drops, unable to sleep or function normally without them. In contrast, Bach Flower Essences work at a deeper level, uncovering and releasing emotional blocks that have been preventing mental well-being and quality sleep.
Sleep isn't just a concern for us adults. Customized Drops also help children.
They are suitable even for babies; however, for children under the age of one, we use glycerol as a preservative instead of alcohol.
P.S. If you don’t have trouble sleeping, but the full moon affects you negatively, making you feel tired, irritable, and unable to fall asleep, I recommend using the SOS drops for acute crises. They will help you calm down and fall asleep more easily.
