Herbal Support for Sleep

Sleep troubles are the worst.  Not sleeping well can affect your physical and mental health in a myriad of ways.

The most sustainable way to work with sleep issues is to get to the root cause and make the lifestyle shifts to support deep sleep.  

But what if you are in the midst of a big transition or in a period of high stress and your body needs help learning how to sleep well again?  There are many herbal allies that can help support you in these times while also implementing good sleep hygiene for sustainable deep sleep.  

In this episode I discuss herbal support for mild and occasional sleeplessness, with a focus on nervines, sedatives, and certain adaptogens. 

I highlight the importance of addressing root causes of sleep issues in tandem with herbal remedies. Specific herbs discussed include Milky Oat Tops, Lemon Balm, Mimosa, Chamomile, Skullcap, Passionflower, California Poppy, Valerian, and Hops. 

The episode also emphasizes consulting a practitioner when using herbs because every body is different.
