People who have problems with sleep can use herbal remedies.

Such products are considered safe and help improve the quality of sleep.

But can valerian and motherwort cause addiction? Neurologist Natalia Shindryaeva answered this question, writes Gazeta.Ru .

As the doctor explained, before using any medications, you need to identify the cause of your problem.

The fact is that if a person takes even herbal remedies uncontrollably and frequently, addiction may develop over time.

As a result, additional problems will arise when a man or woman can no longer sleep without pills or syrup.

Moreover, addiction will occur even if the person has managed to establish a routine and get rid of stress by this time.

Shindryaeva also advised maintaining sleep hygiene and doing without special means to improve sleep.

If problems arise, it is much better to undergo cognitive behavioral therapy to get rid of insomnia.
