This is a wonderful recipe.  I have been using it for sleep for the last four nights and it does a great job of gently easing me to sleep, getting back to sleep if I was up for any reason, and not leaving me groggy.  I love it.  Thank you so much for publishing it!

How long are you steeping this?  I guessed 10 minutes, because I have some valerian tea bags that the instructions on the box indicate 10 minutes.

What an interesting combination. I was curious why you would put what I thought was just a stimulant in a bed time tea. But upon further reading and knowing the sometimes depressant effects of Valerian personally. I see the wisdom.

Thank you for broadening my perspective to the subtleties of a long time favorite of mine.

I was prescribed Damiana for focus and alertness a very long time ago to help me cut back on the anxiety inducing effect of coffee, But still feel alert.

I use Valerian very sparingly because I am quite sensitive to it’s effects , it literally helped me know how to control my sudden excitement (anger) in all my relationships. I had to discover what my trigger feelings were before they manifest beyond a spark, but once I knew I could use just a third of a capsule to help me back down and regroup. The added benefit was that it mixed well with the adrenaline so I felt mentally sharper, but relaxed.

I am very excited (in a good way) to try this blend. I don’t get angry as often as I used to so it would be nice to see if this blend can recreate the effect to some degree.

My wife has a hard time sleeping but she is nursing our baby at the moment.  Would there be any concerns using this or would you adjust the recipe for mothers who are nursing?

Why no Chamomile?

Is it the Valarian that tastes bad?
