Insomnia 03582...South Africa
A 66-year-old housewife suffered from insomnia for the past 17 years. She could sleep only for about 3 hours every night. This made her lethargic, irritable, and mentally and physically exhausted. She had difficulty in doing even her routine household chores. She had not taken any medicine for insomnia.
On 19 September 2019, she visited the practitioner who gave her the following:
CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC15.6 Sleep disorders…half-an-hour before bedtime and another at bedtime. An additional dose was to be taken if she woke up during the night.
Her sleep pattern began to change and after a week she reported 50% improvement. She was now enjoying five hours of sound sleep. After another week, she was 80% better. She was cheerful and energetic and said she could easily carry out her household duties. At the end of third week on 10 October 2019, she reported 100% improvement. She said she was now sleeping “like a baby” and getting up feeling refreshed. As she was having eight to nine hours of regular sleep, dosage was reduced to 3TW on 8 Dec; after a week to 2TW and then to OW and stopped on 28 Dec 2019. As of 25 February 2020 there has been no recurrence.
