How Garlic Helps You Sleep Better
Stress and anxiety are common causes of restless nights. High cortisol levels keep the brain alert, making relaxation and deep sleep difficult.
Garlic naturally helps by:
-
Balancing cortisol levels
-
Improving blood flow
-
Reducing muscle tension
-
Calming the mind
These effects create the perfect environment for deeper, more consistent sleep.
