Speaker: Mary Bove. Cytokines are proteins acting as neuro-immune modulators. Specific cytokines stimulated by chronic infection, inflammation, and persistent stress can lead to sleep disruption and insomnia. Botanical therapeutics involves a multi-faceted approach: modulating cytokines and neurotransmitters, quenching inflammation and re-regulating the immune system. A combination of anti-inflammatory, nervine and adaptogenic herbs can help restore normal sleep patterns.
