tea to help with insomnia and sleep difficulties or stress or muscle and joint pain when trying to sleep
Put the teabags into 6 cups water in a ceramic or steel or glass pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove to carafe. Drink 2-3 cups one hour before bed. Alternately you can boil a kettle, put the bags in a carafe, and fill and seal. In 10-15 minutes you can drink it.
Valerian root is a herbal sleep aide that acts on the central nervous system to soothe and relax the nerves. It also helps with muscle and joint pain, anxiety, depression, and stress. It can help induce sleep without being habit forming. It can be used regularly or occasionally. If a person suffers from mental health issues as well as sleep concerns, I advise using a herbal nervine like the triple leaf relax tea in conjunction with this blend. Basically just add two of those teabags also and 4 more cups water. When you make extra you can refrigerate or bottle it for heating up the next night. This tea is most medicinal when it is taken hot.
In very rare circumstances people react to valerian root and it can cause excitability. If it does this to you it is advisable to contact myself or another herbalist to find other natural sleep aides.
