Objective Measures Show Positive Effects of Homeopathic Medicines on Disturbed Sleep

An article published in the respected journal Sleep Medicine shows that two homeopathic medicines known for their impact on sleep patterns in susceptible human subjects, have positive effects as measured by objective measuring procedures called polysomnographic recordings. Polysomnographic recordings involve various sleep study measurements, including monitoring many body functions including brainwaves (EEG), eye movements (EOG), muscle activity or skeletal muscle activation (EMG) and heart rhythm (ECG).

While this is is not a study involving individualised patient prescribing it does show the positive effects of two remedies known to have a significant relevance to sleep disturbance and builds on earlier experiments in animals using the same two remedies that produced positive results.
