SWEETEN your sleep quality with this ‘sour seed’ trick

Has your sleep quality gone SOUR?

For many older Americans, the SWEET slumber that used to come so easily when they were younger is now FAR out of reach.

Whether it’s because of health issues… everyday worries… or other mood complaints…

Seniors are downright EXHAUSTED!

Even worse, it’s a vicious cycle.

Because when you’re WEIGHED DOWN by fatigue… it can actually WORSEN your sleep disturbances.   

Friend, I know it feels like you’ll NEVER get a good night’s sleep again.

But that doesn’t have to be true…

Because one ANCIENT way of “calming the spirit” could help BANISH insomnia!

A ‘sleep makeover’… in just 1 month?

The sour Chinese date (Ziziphus jujuba, var. spinosa or simply Ziziphus spinosa) is a sweet-and-sour version of the regular ol’ Chinese date, a.k.a. the jujube.

Western scientists call it simply “ziziphus” or “zizyphus”…

And in Traditional Chinese Medicine, its seeds are called “Suan Zao Ren”… which translates to mean “sour date seed.”

This “seed cure” is one of the most common Chinese remedies for insomnia…

And it carries NONE of the risks of the sleeping pills you might be tempted to take.

It works by TURNING DOWN the activity of certain brain chemicals to help you SETTLE when it’s time to TURN IN for the night.

It can also help LOWER blood pressure… and QUASH anxiety…

Both of which are CRUCIAL to getting a good night’s sleep.

In a small study out of Taiwan, taking zizyphus for 4 weeks helped menopausal women with sleep troubles experience BETTER…

• sleep quality
• sleep duration, and
• daytime function.

The older gals in the study also fell asleep significantly FASTER!

That’s not all…

Because although this study didn’t specifically address any menopausal symptoms besides insomnia, zizyphus is also traditionally used to COOL DOWN night sweats.

And if there’s anything that can wake up a gal who’s going through “the change”… it’s sheets that are SOAKING WET!

The “secret ingredient” may be a group of compounds known as jujubosides… which on their own have shown to have a sleep-inducing effect.

Recent research shows how these compounds can also help OFFSET the ripple effect of sleep deprivation…

Including memory impairment.

Jujubosides are also found in another calming herb, ginseng…

Which explains why TCM often combines ziziphus with ginseng.

You can find zizyphus in supplement form… but note that there are LOTS of related plants that go by that name.

You’ll want to know EXACTLY what you’re getting… and you’ll need to make sure it’s the RIGHT form and dosage to support healthy sleep.

A certified Chinese herbalist can steer you in the right direction… and may know this seed by its Latin name, Semen Zizyphi Spinosae.
