Sleep issues are one of the most common concerns I hear from clients. Before reaching for supplements, I always recommend starting with sleep hygiene basics, but when those aren't enough, certain herbs can make a real difference.
My go-to herbs for sleep support
- Valerian root — The classic. Works best when taken consistently for 2-4 weeks. Start with a low dose.
- Passionflower — Excellent for racing thoughts at bedtime. I often recommend it as a tea.
- Lemon balm — Gentle and good for beginners. Combines well with chamomile.
- Ashwagandha — More for stress-related insomnia. Helps regulate cortisol levels over time.
Important: Always check for interactions with existing medications. Valerian in particular can interact with sedatives and anti-anxiety drugs.
What herbs have you tried? I'd love to hear what worked for you.
