Study Finds Pine Tree Bark Effective Insomnia Cure

Nature is full of surprises - in fact the one thing we should not be surprised about is that new cures for many conditions are out there waiting to be found.

The latest comes in the form of the use of bark-extracts from the pine tree known as the 'French Maritime Pine' in the cure of jetlag symptoms, insomnia being a major factor in the list.

Insomnia can easil result for the disruption to the circadian rythm after long hall travel, exasserbated by the long periods of physical inactivity. This new insomnia treatment - which is based around the naturally occuring chemical Pycnogenol appears to work by improving circulation and alertness - allowing travellers to stay awake until the time they judge to be best for getting back into a normal sleeping pattern.

Sounds great to me!
