Valerian Root Tea. Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis).
Try our Valerian Mint or Nighttime blend which contain Valerian Root.
Valerian is used against sleeping disorders, restlessness and anxiety, and as a muscle relaxant. It has also been used traditionally to treat gastrointestinal pain and spastic colitis.
Valerian seems only to work when taken over longer periods (several weeks).
Use 1 level teaspoon per 6 oz cup. Heat water
until boiling. Steep for 3-5 minutes.

"If you are primarily looking for taste, you may want to mix this with something else. But I don't. The desired effect is wonderful! I will always use this product!"

"This is THE single worst tea I have ever had the displeasure to lay tongue to! I tried mixing it with other teas, but all it did was ruin those flavors as well.
It does seem to put my husband to sleep, but he drinks it in shots like nasty cheap whisky. Don't buy this for the flavor!"

"If you can get over the horrible taste this tea is great. It really helps you fall asleep. If you do get it make sure to keep it in an air tight container, otherwise it will stink up your whole house."

"Pretty good - best mixed with other teas. I make a bedtime brew with Valerian, Catnip, Peppermint and Rooibos. It tastes good and does the trick. Relaxes my mind, which is usually over-active. Make sure you dispose of the steeped root right away , it really smells bad when moist...doesn't taste bad, just smells bad!"
