Insomnia can be defined as the “difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep or both”. In simple terms it can be described as ‘sleeplessness’. Insomnia may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. Insomnia can affect all age groups. In order to stay healthy a proper sleep is required as it provides rest and rejuvenation for the Brain, immune and nervous system. How much sleep an individual requires depends on many factors like age of the person, activities of the individual, medical history and quality of sleep etc. Some causes of insomnia can be rich meals, anxiety, fear, fatigue etc. You may please check my hub on Sleeping Requirements of Individuals and Tips for a Good Sleep for more details for treating this sleep disorder.

The parts of the body which causes insomnia are brain nerves, lungs and liver. If the said parts are proper then the person may have a good sleep. Astrologically speaking, 3 Planets are responsible for providing sound sleep. They are

• Mercury – as it governs the brain nerves
• Moon – as it controls the mind, heart and stomach
• Jupiter – as it rules over liver and lungs

Insomnia can be treated in Gem Therapy by using a combination of 3 gemstones Emerald representing Mercury, Moonstone representing Moon and Yellow Sapphire representing Jupiter.
