The pineal gland has been identified by many philosophers and mystics as the ‘third eye’. Descartes even declared that it was the seat of the human soul. It is specially located in the centre of the human brain. It is positioned in between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Special powers have been attributed to the pineal grand which is sometimes associated with the sixth chakra. Chakra is the term used in yoga to mean third eye. Some other people cling onto the belief that the pineal gland, which is dormant most of the time, can easily be awakened to facilitate telepathic experiences.

According to the following video the human soul is in the 8th chakra, which is the heart chakra. My own beliefs are closer to the 8th chakra, and would really like to know your opinion in regards.

On the other hand – according to scientists, the pineal gland is an endocrine gland that is exactly the size of a pea and which produces a hormone known as melatonin. This hormone is responsible for the regulation of the body sleep and clock cycle. It is stimulated by pitch darkness while light inhibits it. The levels of melatonin production reaches peak levels at 2 a.m. in the case of healthy people who are normal. Among the elderly, the amount of melatonin produced is half of that produced in young adolescent people. This makes health professionals to believe that the levels of melatonin are very good indicators that one in ageing. Longevity is clearly hinted at thorough a look at the amount of melatonin produced by the individual.

During the day, levels of melatonin are at their lowest. When the sun sets, lack of light triggers the sending of neural signals into the brain and this makes it to start producing the hormone. The rise continues for hours, reaching its peak at 2 a.m. in the morning, there is a very steady decline in the levels of melatonin that the organ produces. Aging is hinted at when there is poor timing of the production of this hormone.

Neuroendocrine functions are regulated by the melatonin impulses. The intensity of the melatonin peak realization should not be upset. If it is upset, factors such as aging, stress, jet lag and working in the night shift or having to stay awake all night talking or making love are to blame for this scenario. In all these cases, the mental functions of the brain are adversely affected, leading to disruption of the biological clock.

The artificial jet lag comes about as a result of work and other activities that interfere with the normal circadian cycle. Intake of melatonin in the evening can easily and rapidly reset the biological clock such that you are going to go on with your activities in the new time zone normally. The ability of melatonin to alleviate the jet lag has been proven to be effective through numerous experiments.

I became interested in the use of melatonin because of the headaches and migraines I am having almost daily. Several clinical studies show that supplementation with melatonin is an effective preventive treatment for migraines and cluster headaches, so I started using it, and there is some improvement. The use of melatonin has helped with many other disorders such as Cancer, ADHD, or mood disorders, and gallbladder stones. If you suffer from any of the abovementioned disorders, do some research and see which supplement of melatonin could be of help to you.
