Members shared a range of experiences with tart cherry juice as a natural treatment for insomnia and inflammation, with most finding it helpful in some way. Several members noted it aided with inflammation and swelling, often pairing it with other natural remedies like watermelon, ginger, and pineapple smoothies, while a few mentioned stomach or IBS discomfort as a drawback. A recurring theme was that while not everyone noticed a clear sleep benefit, many continued drinking it nightly because they enjoyed it and felt it supported their overall health.

We put dryer sheets in our hats when doing yard work It keeps the aggravating gnats and mosquitoes away. If I don’t wear a hat I put it my hair ties. It definitely helps.
