I don't have a thyroid problem, but I have suffered from insomnia
all my life. As a child my mother used ply me with warm milk,
Whenever we were ill as children, our mother gave us a real treat
which always put us off to sleep. It was Granny's famous "Nutmeg drink".
It was only as an adult that I learned about the actual sedative
qualities of nutmeg.
Take a tall glass of tepid milk (Mum always insisted that it MUST be
tepid - too hot or cold and the nutmeg won't work - i.e. body temperature)
Stir in a teaspoon of sugar.
Then take one LEVEL teaspoon of powdered or ground nutmeg and stir it
in briskly. Then drink it down as you go to bed. Nutmeg does not
dissolve well but enough gets in. It's really yummy
Hope it helps
