Sleep is one of the most important aspects of human health.

A person will feel a window of drowsiness so allow yourself to fall into drowsiness and enjoy a restful sleep. May take several days for a sleep pattern to emerge. Herbs can work to support restful sleep via a few different mechanisms. They can be Sedative – these types of herbs work to slow down your brain activity.

They can be Anxiety Reducing – This calming mental effect can be beneficial for sleep, especially for those that struggle with excessive worry. They can be Relaxing – they help to relax the muscles in the body. And they can be Pain Reducing – they can help to reduce pain perception. Physical pain is a major sleep disruptor. We based this tincture on Valerian Root because it contains phytochemicals, including valepotriates and valerenic acid, which are reported to have relaxing, sleep-inducing effects. Valerian works as a sedative by slowing down the central nervous system. This helps to ‘wind down’ your brain and prepare your body for restful sleep. Then we added Lemon Balm.

Anxiety and depression are considered mental health disorders that affect the nervous system. Both conditions affect mood and behavior and often trigger symptoms like fatigue, low energy, and trouble sleeping. We also included Catnip. Catnip is used to treat conditions like insomnia, anxiety, and headaches. Its biggest health benefit is the calming effect that it can have on the body. Catnip contains nepetalactone, which is like the valepotriates found in a commonly used herbal sedative, valerian. This can improve relaxation, which may boost mood and reduce anxiety, restlessness, and nervousness. Rosemary was also included.
