Strongest Herbal Tea To Calm And Put To Sleep?
Answer:
There are some herbal tea preparations out there that combine the passionflower and kava kava mentioned above, and some preps also include skullcap, which is apparently another flower/herb that has relaxing and sleep-inducing qualities. Valerian is also an excellent option, although I'm not sure if it's put in tea or just in capsules. I know I've seen skullcap among the ingredients in tea, though.
I know what it's like to have trouble sleeping, and to want to use natural remedies. Fortunately 2 bags of Sleepytime (my fave) generally work for me, unless my anxiety disorder is acting up. :( Anyhoo, good luck to you! :) Also, don't forget to ask for advice in your fave health/natural foods store, like Whole Foods. Generally the employees there are very helpful about this type of thing!
passionflower tea
Kava Kava root.
Boil it in coconut milk and drink.
It relaxes your body
I second the Kava Kava
Not sure about any tea but milk can help you fall asleep because of the iron and the raw material it is made up of.
You might consider melatonin. It's a natural sleep aid that promotes your body to produce its own melatonin a hormone that induces sleep. You can usually find it at the local pharmacies in the vitamin and mineral section. About 3-5mg before bed for adults.
Do not take it if you are taking any other form of steroids, antidepressant, beta blockers or anti-anxiety meds of any kind.
It is considered pretty safe.
The best I've ever had was a 'tea' made from just hibiscus flowers, picked fresh. Two or three plopped in boiling water, take off the heat. Steep for ten-ish minutes. Drink. I was so stressed I couldn't sleep or eat, was in a strange country where I barely spoke the language and nobody I really knew, didn't know how to get home really either. Long story. Anyway, I drank this tea and slept the soundest, best sleep I've ever had. Ever.
About withdrawl symptoms ... keep in mind that herbal remedies ARE medications in many cases. They often contain the same active ingredients, just in a natural form. Your body can't tell the difference. If you're taking an herbal remedy that's similar to a pharmaceutical, well, you can expect the same side effects.
Yogi Tea Bedtime Organic
Maybe I'm a lightweight, but this stuff knocks me out. I've tried the ones you mentioned with the same results.
Also, I noticed the other day that tryptophan is back on the market in the US. Expensive, but with that same after Thanksgiving Turkey feeling. :)
