Give skullcap a try if you can find the extract or a tea, that one worked super well for me to help get to sleep

What do you think or Yogi-brand teas?
I haven't had a lot of luck with that brand, but I know it's popular so maybe some do. Bigelow Stress Free is one that has skullcap and worked well for me. But it's a bit hard to find :/ which is weird because I actually really like the flavor too (rose and mint.) Rather than stress relief I use it as a sleep aid though - it's more of a "lets you sleep" than "makes you sleep" which I like.
They literally have:
- Calming
- stress relief
- Restful sleep
And I'm pretty sure its all like the same shit :/
I want to buy them and drink them too ๐ฐ
Super real.
Lavender has a wonderful sedating effect. I like to science, so I vaped some essential oil once upon a time.. very nice calming effects that make you want to sleep, but that doesn't knock you out. Great sleep, nice and cozy.
There's limited hard science becasue what's the incentive??
But thousands of years of use in practice, so that says something.
The incentive is a publication on your CV.
The problem is that people don't know how to search for scientific articles, and aren't versed in understanding what makes a study a good one.
Nearly all "alternative medicines" have been scientifically studied. The difference between them and regular medicines are that the real medicines have a clear clinical benefit.
