Hi Jo,

You are absolutely right about treating the underlying cause of the problem, band-aids only cover up for so long before the symptom comes back.

The first thing I would have her do is barefooting.  Our bodies collect electricity and if it isn't ground out so a fresh supply can come in we become static and it causes all kinds of problems and not being able to sleep is at the top of the list.  We need to barefoot in the grass to ground out the electricity everyday for 15-30 minutes in order to keep the flow going.  Fresh in, static out.

I have had a problem sleeping for many years so when I first heard about barefooting I decided to give it a try.  I barefooted in the grass for 15 minutes before I went to bed and that night I slept like a baby.  It's so simple you wouldn't think it would help but I'm telling you true, it DOES work.

Here are a couple of posts you can read about barefooting:

Barefooting - BAREFOOTING" Static Electricity

I grew up at the beach so I was barefoot all the time in my youth, even when I wasn't at the beach I was barefoot.  But as I got older I grew to be worried about all the nasties I might pick up on my feet lol so I started wearing shoes all the time.  When I look back on my earlier years I realize I never had a problem going to sleep, it developed only when I stopped going barefoot so this made perfect sense to me.  I now have no more worries about nasties, after all we can wash out feet lol!

Let us know how it works for her.  There are herbal aids to help you sleep but I'd have her barefoot first and see how she does.

Blessings,
