Deep Sleep Tincture

Nervines & Restorative Relaxation

We utilise herbs traditionally categorised as “nervines,” plants that have been used for centuries to support, strengthen, and nourish the nervous system, helping to ease the physical and mental manifestations of stress.

Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis): A renowned traditional sedative often relied upon by those experiencing persistent sleeplessness. It is traditionally used to help reduce the internal tension that keeps the mind alert and quieten overexcitability. Its analgesic (pain-relieving) and antispasmodic (muscle-relaxing) properties make it particularly beneficial if your inability to rest is triggered by physical discomfort, aching muscles, or bodily tension.

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata): An invaluable herb for those who struggle with evening restlessness and irritability. It is traditionally used to help regularise erratic sleep patterns and soothe the anxiety and nervous tension that often leads to a racing mind.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): A gentle, mildly sedative herb that promotes physical relaxation. It is ideal for those who “carry their stress in their gut,” as it provides a soothing effect on both the nervous and digestive systems, helping to ease the agitation that often prevents the onset of sleep.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Celebrated for its ability to promote natural sleepiness while relieving the nervous tension associated with stress-related headaches or that “heavy-headed” feeling that prevents you from drifting off.

Adaptogenic & Grounding Support

To help address the underlying stress that can leave the body feeling “wired,” we include herbs traditionally used to support the body’s ability to return to a state of balance.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): A well-known adaptogen, a class of herbs traditionally used to help the body manage the physical and mental effects of stress. It is used to relieve the chronic stress that often prevents deep, restorative sleep. By helping to ground the nervous system, it supports the quality of rest and helps ease the daytime fatigue that often follows a poor night’s sleep.

Vervain (Verbena officinalis): A classic nerve tonic used to strengthen and nourish a depleted or “frazzled” nervous system. It is traditionally used by those who find themselves caught in circular, repetitive thoughts in the evening, while also easing the digestive discomfort that can accompany periods of prolonged stress.

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans): A traditional warming spice used to support deep and restful sleep. It is traditionally used to soothe nervous indigestion, creating the optimal internal environment for a peaceful transition to sleep.
