Only one ingredient is enough and everyone has it in its cupboards.
Repeated heat waves warm not only our environment, but also our body temperature. This phenomenon disrupts our natural thermoregulation necessary for falling asleep. Result: bedtime takes place later, the nights are agitated, the sleep of less good quality and the awakening becomes difficult. It is not easy then to face a work day after such a night. Fortunately, a natural drink, quick to prepare, can bring real relief.
It is an infusion based on a very popular spice. She is “Rich in Eugenol, a natural compound that acts as a sedative and can help you fall asleep peacefully”explains Dr. Eric Berg, American doctor in chiropractic and specialist in the ketogenic diet. Eugenol is a compound recognized for its slightly anesthetizing and relaxing effects, making it a good ally for the evening. In a video on Tiktok, Dr. Berg also underlines that the spice “Help reduce night cravings, while promoting the detoxification of the liver and digestion during sleep”.
This spice comes from an Indonesia tree called the clove. It is therefore the clove. “The clove is an anti-inflammatory that allows you to wake you up less steep” continues the doctor. If you appreciate it winter for its wooded and slightly spicy flavors, the clove can also be drinked in temperate “water” in the evening, 30 minutes before bedtime. To prepare the drink, nothing could be simpler: “Count 1 teaspoon of cloves for a bowl of boiling water. Leave to infuse 5 minutes, then filter” Indicate Marie Borrel and Dr. Philippe Maslo in the “Pocket Guide to Chinese Medicine”. Then just let it cool and drink it nature or with a little honey to soften its powerful taste in the mouth.
If the clove is a natural ally for sleep, it cannot replace a medical consultation in the event of persistent sleep disorders, as well as a good lifestyle, essential for sleeping well. The clove is not recommended for people prone to hypertension and/or suffering from liver problems.
