Are there any herbal remedies that will aid sleep?!


Question: Are there any herbal remedies that will aid sleep!?
Answers:
Yes!!!
Kava Kava root is excellent for aiding sleep, as long as you get it in a strong dosage!. I recommend the powdered form for its strength (like the brand Kava King), but it tastes awful!. It also comes in capsules (liquid capsules are best because they're absorbed by the body better - I like Gaia brand), teas, etc!. Kava Kava is traditionally used in the South Pacific as a relaxant!.
Also, the herb Valerian root is excellent for sleep - it's been traditionally used as a relaxant in Europe and the Americas for centuries!. I think Gaia makes a Kava Kava-Valerian combination formula, in liquid capsules and tinctures!. Or, like with the Kava Kava, you can get Valerian in its untasty-but-effective powdered form, in capsules, etc!.
Hope you get some good sleep!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try drinking an herbal tea with both chamomile and lavender in it and breath in deeply so the aroma gets into your sinuses as well as the herbal tea gets into your system!. If that doesn't work, try drinking valerian root tea !.!.!. but I call valerian root 'dirty socks' tea for the reason that it STINKS just like a pair of dirty socks left in a locker for a month !.!.!. just breathe through your mouth as you brew it, and sweeten it with honey to take the bitterness out of the flavor !.!.!. valerian root is a 'soporific' and also relieves pain, stops nervous anxiety, etc!. You can also make a 'decoction' by boiling a full cup of the root in a gallon of water and keep it boiling until all the fluid you have is a quart !.!.!. take that by the tablespoon, one tablespoon will equal two 'cups' of the 'tea' and you should sleep the night through!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A cup of hot green tea with lemon or not!.
And maybe reading a relaxing book!.

Pills are so stupid!.
Why would someone take a pill when they could easily get up and read a book or drink some tea or something instead of take a pill when you would never know if you were going to wake up or not!?
It's beyond me!.

Hope I helped!.
