A troublesome issue is the inability to sleep soundly at night. Many get so discouraged with this and run down physically that they resort to over-the-counter sleep aids and prescription sedatives. Because these things typically have numerous side effects that are undesirable, His Grace Herbals has created a healthy alternative to aid even the insomniac as they search for deep sleep. We have combined a variety of herbs, safe for daily use and non-addictive to help you find the rest you need. We invite you to brew a cup of our wonderful tasting tea and finally settle in for a great nights rest.

Use 1 heaping tsp. loose tea per 8 oz. cup of boiled water. Drop the loose tea into a pot, or use an infuser; Steep for at least 30 minutes for greatest benefit. Drink ½ hour prior to bed.

One half pound of tea includes the following herbs:

Catnip—has great ability to bring about sleep, stimulate the body, settle the stomach and sooth the nerves.

Passionflower—works as a mild sedative as it relaxes the body. It is very calming for high blood pressure and is useful to calm nerves, help with headaches and relieve insomnia.

Valerian Root—one of the most powerful herbs used to treat insomnia, its advantage over tranquilizers (such as Valium and Xanax) is that it reduces the time it normally takes to fall asleep and limits the lingering drowsiness. It also does not cause the grogginess the others usually cause the morning after its use. It is also known for soothing the digestive system and often prevents cramping associated with irritable bowel syndrome.

Peppermint—relieves stomach and bowel spasms while promoting the expelling of gas. It also aids digestion and relaxes the muscles helping the body to calm down so it is prepared for rest.

Chamomile—Is a mild sedative that soothes the nervous system while also offering a variety of other health benefits such as treating allergies, providing help with rheumatism, arthritis and other swellings. It is very beneficial for menstrual cramping and other aches and pains.

Oatstraw—is a great antidepressant (since depression is often a cause of insomnia and sleep disorders, this is of great benefit). It is also highly nutritive helping to regulate blood sugar, improving the digestive system, easing tension and chronic pain. All of this allows the body to relax and enjoy the rest our bodies need.
