AVS Machines

AVS stands for Auditory Visual Stimulation. Many AVS companies promote their products without telling you why you should buy one and why it works.

Well I'm here to explain to you why you should consider getting one if you suffer from severe insomnia.

AVS is a technique developed to train a person to alter their body's physiological responses to induce a desired state of mind. The main objective for using an AVS machine is to calm down or enhance mental activity.

How do AVS machines work?

AVS machines work by applying sound and light stimulation through headphones and glasses designed with LED lights installed in them. The lights and sounds are released at predetermined frequencies to help induce the mind into an energetic or deeply relaxed state of mind. The frequencies that are released are set by the individual to determine which state they want to be in.

How will AVS help with Insomnia?

AVS machines can give you the quality sleep you need by emitting pulses or frequencies that train the brain to relax and sleep.

These pulses are the Schumann Resonance. The Schumann Resonance is a natural occurrence that is found in the Earth's atmosphere. It was discovered that people are affected by this frequency.

Over 20 years ago a gentleman by the name of Bob Beck was asked by the U.S. Navy to find out why drivers were falling asleep behind the wheel in Eugene, Oregon. Bob discovered a low frequency of 7.25Hz pulsing in the atmosphere. The frequency in the atmosphere affected the brainwaves of the drivers causing them to slip in a relax state of mind and thus, falling asleep.

The Schumann Resonance vibrates at a base frequency of 7.83Hz. Many AVS machines pulses a sound tone at 7.83 cycles (hertz) per second.

Wanna really sleep? Get an AVS machine. Those who have bought one, LOVE them!

How much do they cost?

AVS machines can vary from $100-$400. These machines are good natural cures for insomnia.

White noise cds contain recordings that produces a pleasant noise to mask other sounds. For example, when you see the black and white popcorn screen on your TV and it produces that crackling noise. That is a type of white noise. Your ceiling fan produces a type of white noise.

This is calming to some folks. You can get white noise in nature sounds such as calming rain forest noise or the sound of a running creek in the forest.

Hypnosis

There are many cds and programs that you can purchase to self train yourself to relax and sleep. Many of these programs are cost effective and is one of the many natural cures for insomnia. They are usually cheaper than one session with a hypnotherapist.

Light Therapy

Light therapy is training your body to wake up when there is light outside and going to sleep at a reasonable time in the evening.

Light therapy works because of melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormones produced by your body that helps you sleep. The development of melatonin is affected by light. The more light there is, the less melatonin is released. The darker it gets, the more melatonin is released into the bloodstream causing you to be sleepy.

Using light therapy to help regulate your melatonin is effective as one of the natural cures for insomnia.
