Description
My Sleep Potion is a herbal tea blend which contains two of the most studied and powerful sleep-inducing herbs in Western medical herbalism:
According to the World Health Organization’s herbal monographs, using valerian as a sedative and sleep-promoting agent is supported by clinical data.
It is often used as a safer alternative for synthetic sedatives, such as the benzodiazepines, in treatment of nervous excitation and anxiety-induced sleep disturbances.
It is also a muscle relaxant and a mild pain reliever.
Passionflower is another sedative often used for nervous restlessness, insomnia, and anxiety.
While valerian alone may be powerful enough, I include passionflower because as a mild MAO inhibitor, it potentiates the effects of other sedative drugs, in this case of the valerian.
Also included is lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), which not only gives the potion a great taste, but also is a potent anti-anxiety herb with sleep promoting properties.
Dosage & Preparation: To make a single serving of the sleep potion, cover 1-3 teaspoons of the blend with boiling water and infuse for 10-15 minutes in a covered container. Drink before bedtime.
The listed price is for 2 oz (56 grams) of the herbal blend, and includes shipping.
Keep in mind that this formulation can help with symptoms of insomnia; it is not a long-term solution. To cure insomnia, I recommend scheduling a sleep consultation.
