Good Night’s Sleep

Description

This natural supplement is a blend of four plants traditionally used to aid sleep whenever sleep is hard to come by and you’re weary of running on empty. I grow my own supplies of California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) American Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), Wild Leetuce (Lactuca virosa) and outsource Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) from a UK herbal supplier, as I’ve not managed to grow it in our cold, damp climate!

California poppy gently balances the emotions in times of stress. It is a gentle sedative that helps to induce sleep at night.

Skullcap is a pretty member of the mint family, traditionally used for insomnia, anxiety, agitation, and panic attacks. It can improve mood and aid restful sleep. It leaves no drowsy side effects the next day and enables you to feel refreshed and revitalised.

Wild Lettuce is considered one of our native weeds and has no problem self-seeding its goodness all over the place! I grow it intentionally at my allotment because of its super-powers for insomnia, anxiety, and joint pain.

Passionflower is a beautiful climbing vine native to South America, traditionally used as a relaxing remedy for all sorts of nervous conditions. It calms anxiety, aids sleep, and increases resilience to stress. It is one of the best tranquilising herbs for chronic insomnia but leaves you awake and alert the next morning.
