\"somnium<\/p>\n

Somnium Nighttime GABA Cream is a topical GABA product I have been researching and trying personally with success. And folks in my community are reporting good results too. One woman shared this:<\/p>\n

Surprisingly this stuff is very strong. I only use a small amount on the inside of my arm and it really helps me sleep better and calm down my nervous system at night. I don’t use it every day, rather I tend to use it when I’ve had a particularly busy or full\/stressful day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I endorse this topical GABA product as something to use in addition to the sublingual, powder, liposomal or opened GABA capsule<\/a> you may be seeing benefits from OR it may become the one GABA product that works best for your needs – for helping with insomnia, easing physical anxiety and other low GABA symptoms.<\/p>\n

I expect it to be beneficial for those with MS (multiple sclerosis), ARFID (Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), anorexia, Alzheimer\u2019s, autism and special needs children, and if you have severe digestive issues – for anxiety, insomnia and related symptoms.<\/p>\n

When to use Somnium and increasing as needed<\/h2>\n

I do recommend only trialing this GABA cream when you know that GABA does work for you and you are looking for another way to increase GABA levels. I say this because it is more expensive than other GABA products and will only work if GABA is low – so it\u2019s best to be sure.<\/p>\n

Also, I have clients use a similar dose when using GABA products interchangeably. Somnium is around 250mg to 500mg for a small pea-size amount (the 1oz jar lasts 45 days, and the 2oz jar lasts 90 days if a pea-sized amount is used nightly.)<\/p>\n

When comparing this with the GABA product that is already working for you, don\u2019t forget to compare apples to apples with no confounding influences. So if you still have your period, the time of the month needs to be considered, and diet and other factors like outside stresses of course.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget that there is no one size fits all. I have clients increase the amount of GABA when using it as a supplement, in order to find the ideal dose for their unique needs. I use the same logic with the GABA cream – start low and increase as needed.<\/p>\n

For nighttime use for improving sleep (and how to use it)<\/h2>\n

As you\u2019ll see on the website, it\u2019s recommended for nighttime use for improving sleep but I have found there are many more applications (more on these below).<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also see the recommended way to use it is to \u201cApply a small pea-size amount to skin and massage until absorbed. For best results apply to the back of the ears and the temples before bed time.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Very quickly after starting to use Somnium myself, I decided I didn\u2019t like using it on the back of my ears and temples, because it\u2019s oily and made my hair greasy.<\/p>\n

Rubbing it between my palms and applying some onto my forearms worked as well for my insomnia. Using it on the inner thigh is an option too.<\/p>\n

It also helps me with a painful bloated belly and muscle spasms<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve also used it for a painful bloated belly at night, rubbed directly on my belly.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve found it to help back pain\/muscle spasms when used directly over the spasming muscle.<\/p>\n

(By the way my sublingual GABA product works as well as the GABA cream – I was experimenting with the cream so I could compare the two and offer my feedback.)<\/p>\n

An application for specific populations<\/h2>\n

I also see the application for Somnium GABA cream for specific populations, who may find a cream is a better way to use GABA:<\/p>\n
