Sleeping pills are regularly sold over the counter at pharmacies in Belgium. However, a lot of people are now aware of the fact that sleeping pills can have disadvantages and side effects: they make you drowsy so that you don't wake up the next day feeling very well.

Moreover, habituation can occur and they have an addictive effect. As an alternative, people with sleep problems sometimes seek refuge in a homeopathic sleep aid. There is quite some controversy surrounding this: after all, the effect of homeopathic sleep aids is not always proven, effective or even researched for safety.

Moreover, homeopathic sleeping pills and natural, herbal sleeping pills are also often confused with each other. However, the starting point of both methods is different.

This article provides answers to the following questions:

• What are homeopathic sleep aids?
• Examples of homeopathic sleep aids
• The difference between homeopathy and phytotherapy

Homeopathic medicines are often mentioned in the same breath as herbal medicines. However, this is not entirely correct. A homeopathic medicine is a highly diluted preparation of a certain substance that can have a vegetable origin, but can equally well be of animal, mineral or chemical origin.

The basic assumption within homeopathy is that a substance that would cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can also combat those symptoms in the case of an illness when the substance is administered in a highly diluted form. This is called the principle of similarity.

However, to date there is insufficient scientific evidence that homeopathic products would be effective. Many people who have been helped with a homeopathic sleep aid may therefore experience a placebo effect.

There are several homeopathic sleep aids on the market. The origin of the active substance can be very diverse, what they have in common is that the active substance is particularly diluted.

For example, there are homeopathic sleeping pills with melatonin, a substance of the body's own, produced in the pineal gland that regulates our biological clock. But homeopathic sleep aids with St. John's wort and valerian are also available.

The latter substances are of plant origin, but should not be confused with natural sleep aids containing the same substances. After all, there is an essential difference between homeopathy and phytotherapy.

Thus, the term "natural sleeping pills" can refer to both homeopathic and herbal sleeping aids. After all, both homeopathy and herbal medicine, also known as phytotherapy, make use of natural ingredients.

Whereas homeopathy is based on the principle of equivalence (that which makes you ill can also cure you in a diluted form), phytotherapy, like traditional medicine, starts from the 'contrarian principle': you have to treat a disease with an opposite substance. To do this, phytotherapy uses the action of certain plants and herbs that have been used for centuries.

In the case of sleep problems, lavender is a well-known example. Several studies have shown that lavender contributes to a good night's sleep. However, passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), which grows naturally in the warmer parts of North and South America, has also been proven to contribute to better sleep.

Therefore, it is important to always choose ingredients that are safe to use and offer an alternative to traditional sleep medications or homeopathic sleep aids.
