For tens of centuries, plants have been highly valued and regularly used as medicine amongst the masses. Insomnia, a loss of sleep, is mostly treated by synthetic sleeping tablets these days. However, questions have been raised about the safety of prolonged use of artificial sedatives due to their deleterious side effects such as physical dependence. In recent years, there has been an increasing propensity to preclude insomnia by herbal medicines throughout the world. Many herbs have a lengthy background in terms of insomnia treatment in Iran. This paper gives an account of previously published research on sedative and hypnotic effects of medicinal herbs used for treatment of insomnia in Iranian traditional medicine.
几个世纪以来，植物一直备受重视，并在大众中经常被用作药物。失眠，即睡眠缺失，如今大多通过合成安眠药来治疗。然而，由于人工镇静剂存在诸如身体依赖等有害副作用，人们对长期使用其安全性提出了质疑。近年来，世界各地越来越倾向于使用草药来预防失眠。在伊朗，许多草药在治疗失眠方面有着悠久的历史。本文介绍了此前发表的关于伊朗传统医学中用于治疗失眠的草药的镇静和催眠作用的研究。
