Using Herbal Remedies for Better Sleep

One effective tip for improving sleep quality is incorporating herbal remedies. Plant-based remedies like valerian, hops, passionflower, skullcap, chamomile, and poppy can help address insomnia and promote relaxation. Adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, and eleuthero can also bring about a calmer state of being. These herbal sleep aids can be taken occasionally or for longer-term use, depending on individual needs. Personal experiences like taking valerian and chamomile capsules along with a cup of yogi tea before bedtime, or exploring herbal tinctures containing multiple ingredients, have shown promising results.
