Importance of sleep


·    Sleep is not merely taking time from our busy routine. It is essential for physical, mental and emotional well being. A good night’s sleep gives the body time to heal and the brain, time to process all the stimuli it has received.


·    A hot bath before bed lowers BP and helps sleep better.


·    Skin absorbs the therapeutic ingredients of cosmetics better during sleep.


·    Fill an herbal pillow with dried lavender, roses, cloves, citrus, khus and other herbs to get a refreshing sleep.


·    Choose a mattress that supports the spine. A bed that is too hard or too soft will tire out your body.


·    Loss of sleep increases blood sugar levels, which is risky for diabetes.
