Insomnia and Homeopathy

Sleep was generally considered as a passive mode of human beings until science revealed the importance of sleep for the better functioning of our internal organs. The nervous system completely terminates its function during our sleep and helps to repair the nerve cells. The neurons of the nervous system cannot be replaced, instead the byproducts of the cellular activity is eliminated and rejuvenated during sleep.
