If falling asleep becomes challenging, your doctor may prescribe sleeping pills. However, people who take sleeping pills for long periods are concerned about side effects, including sleepwalking, memory loss, and increased risk of dementia. In addition, the longer an individual takes sleeping pills, the less effective they become. Is there an alternative to improve sleep without side effects?

In an episode of the “Health 1+1” program, Erica Kuo, a registered herbalist, shared an analysis of various fragrant herbs and provided formulas to help those who have insomnia to sleep until dawn.
