Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) was originally used to make perfume centuries ago, and has been used in traditional medicine for at least 2,000 years. It is a herb that is quite popular in our stores to help with sleep. When we have acute or chronic stress, we have low GABA levels in our brain and nervous system. Valerian has been found to inhibit the breakdown of GABA, resulting in feelings of calmness and tranquility. When added with Lemon Balm, your cortisol levels are r...educed, as well as the associated symptoms of physical and mental stress. Our friends at @veevalife have created their Sleep formula using these two ingredients along with Skullcap, California Poppy, and Magnesium Bisglycinate so that you can get the sleep you need.
