Sleep is essential to give our brain and body time to rest, repair and recover so you can function properly. In fact, it is globally ranked the MOST important lifestyle behavior for a long and healthy life. Yet 1/3 of adults struggle with sleep deprivation.
Sleep habits are actually complex and very unique to each of us, but on the evenings where I am struggling to relax, I mix up these herbs, steep and drink and it helps :)
My blend includes Valerian root Valerian officinalis, Lemon balm Melissa officinalis, Chamomile Matrcaria chamomilla, Lavender Lavandula angustifolia, and Licorice root Glycyrrihiza glabra to add sweetness. These plant compounds work to calm the nervous system, bind to brain receptors that promote relaxation, and create a psychological habit that signals it is time to rest.
Disclaimers: People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or a child should get doctor approval before drinking. If you currently take sedatives, anti-depressants and/or blood thinners you should avoid these herbs.
