Our Valerian stands are grown from seed and have become wizened, prolific, and generous plants. If you have trouble sleeping, it's likely you have heard of Valerian or know it's distinctive aroma. We use the fresh root in our elixir which we have found more effective and better tasting than the dried root.
We hand dig our Valerian in the fall and infuse it in both organic grain alcohol and water and also in organic Flax glycerin. We then combine the two extractions with our grown fresh Catnip glycerite, which offers additional nervous system support. The resulting elixir is floral, sweet tasting, and quite powerful. Only 1-2 dropperfuls (30-60 drops) are usually needed for most folks. This is traditional support for sleeplessness and restlessness, especially if accompanied by pain.
RECOMMENDED USE: Be Sleepy is intended to be taken as you are winding down for the night. Try 1/2 to 1 dropperfull (15-30 drops) orally either after your last meal of the evening or 10-15 minutes before bed. Be Sleepy is sweet and can be taken directly in the mouth or mixed into a small amount of water or juice. After 15-20 minutes, take an additional dropperfull if needed. Keeping this elixir on the nightstand can also be a helpful strategy if you wake in the night. Everyone is different in their response but higher doses can sometimes cause grogginess in the morning for some folks. Discontinue use if any agitation occurs. This formula can also be taken in drop doses during the day in moments of high levels of tension.
