Hi
Welcome To HCM. The Medicines Your Mother Is Taking Can Produce Good Sleep. Even For Some People Single Tablet Is Enough. Do Consult With Sleep Theparist As All These Medicine Cause Addiction And Had Serious Side Effect. Ask Her To Read Novel Play Puzzel Game, Do Some Exercise. Take Warm Shower In Cold Weather. Massage, These Things Will Sure Help. Do Consult With Neurologist Too. Be Safe And Healthy. Bye.

Hi, welcome to hcm,first you should avoid more medicin for sleep,because it gives major side effects.you try to keep her in natural treatment.you should give her one glass warm water with one spoon lemon juice in early morning.it clears her motion and usefull for detoxification.she should avoid more stress.she should take balance diet which is full of green veg. And fruits.she should avoid spicy and oily food.khas_khas powder (one spoon)with one glass plane water at bed time is very beneficial for this ,it gives good sleep.ayur.medicin_narayan kalp (2 at bed time) is very good for this.take care
