Hello Sleep: Herbal ZZZ's Skullcap, Passionflower, Valerian
Learn about three excellent sleep herbs and how to use them.
Sleep is so important! So much of our well being depends on it. Today you’ll learn about three popular herbs known for helping us get good, restorative sleep.
I often get asked what herb is best for sleep. Really, that depends on you, and your particular situation and constitution. Still, let’s explore these excellent choices: skullcap, passionflower and valerian.
All of them are nervines that support nerve health. They are hypotensives (bring down blood pressure) that are calming and anxiety reducing.
In general, I prefer to use these herbs as tinctures, and to be taken about 20 minutes before sleep.
But First: a Simple Equation that Supports Health and Sleep
A nutrient-dense, blood-sugar stable menu made up of whole, natural foods + a healthy emotional life + exercise in fresh air and sunshine + reduce / eliminate screen time a couple of hours before bed = restorative sleep and health!
Having said that, let’s look at these three popular herbs for sleep.
Valerian is perhaps the most famous. It is a strong, warming, antispasmodic that brings on sleep, especially for folks that run a bit cooler. Think of it as a sedative that relaxes muscles and calms nerves, but if you are a fiery person with lots of heat, perhaps try a different herb.
Valerian caveats: It can cause a speedy-adrenal response in some folks. So try a small amount and see how it affects you. It has a funky odor (that you should be able to smell)!
Growing valerian is easy with a bit of shade and rich, moist soil. It’a a perennial that often spreads by seed, and gets wild, which I am happy for in my gardens.
Dosage: 30-40 drops 20 minutes before sleep. Repeat dose in the night, if needed.
Tincture formula: 1:4 = 1 part organic dried root to 4 parts menstruum of 50% alcohol and 50% water.
Skullcap is a cooling, calming nervine that reduces anxiety, soothes emotions, and gently promotes sleep. It is not a strong sedative, but will encourage sleep when needed. It’s also used for meditation and mental focus.
I love gathering skullcap. It thrives in the deep woodlands where the soil is rich and moist-often growing where streams turn to trickles in summer.
Dosage: 30-40 drops 3-5x a day; or 20 minutes before sleep, and repeat in the night, if needed.
Tincture formula: 1:2 = 1 part fresh flowering tops to 2 parts menstruum of 75% alcohol 25% water (aprox. 55% alcohol final alcohol content).
Passionflower is a helpful sedative to stop “mental diarrhea” or looping thoughts. It calms the mind, and eases the heart-used for worry, stress, and sometimes grief.
Dosage: 30-40 drops 3-5x a day; or 20 minutes before sleep, and repeat in the night, if needed.
Tincture formula: 1:5 = 1 part dried leaf, flower and tender stem to 5 parts menstruum of 66% alcohol 34% water.
Cautionary note: Please research any new food or medicine, go slowly, learn, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider. Avoid using these herbs with central nervous system depressants such as alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines.
Wishing you health and restorative sleep!

    Also, since I have a higher seed to flesh ratio in my paws paws, I use a potato masher to gently pulp the flesh I’ve scooped out, and that helps separate out the seeds from the flesh. It’s still a time consuming process but paw paws are SO worth it!

      As you write, everyone is different, so not sure how to answer. Generally speaking, Mullein is safe to drink, so give it a go and tell us what you learn. If dealing with an acute issue (usually taken for days) which is quite different than dealing with a chronic issue (usually taken for longer periods, like weeks).

      And I forgot to say it was the only one that I found describing the plant in total as I was getting confused with what people were saying. Thanks again

      Good question. As with many herbs / medicines, the body metabolizes the constituents, and then moves it through the body.

    1:34 how do you make syrup out of it? Can you tap one of those trees like people tap maple trees? Either way great video.

    • @DinaFalconi
      @DinaFalconi Před 23 dny

      I've never heard of any one tapping cedars tree, (like maple trees), to make syrup. Syrup has been made from the berries with sugar and water (similar to how one would make other aromatic syrups), but I've not made it.

    I’ve been making dandelion tea with the flowers and adding stinging nettle and rosemary leaves to the mix. We had an abundance of stinging nettle in our woods and our lawn is covered in dandelion and the moment so I’m making the best of it. I was wondering if the flower has healing benefits for the liver as well?

    • @DinaFalconi
      @DinaFalconi Před 24 dny

      Sounds great: making the most of what is right there growing abundantly within your reach. Dandelion flowers are wonderful to consume, although not mentioned as a liver tonic (like it's roots); still very worthy!

    How much to give to child? And is it good allergic wheeze?

    • @DinaFalconi
      @DinaFalconi Před 26 dny

      thanks, depends on the child's size, weight, age, and particular issue. So can not really answer, but if the child is 1/2 the weight of an average adult (150 pounds) then perhaps half the amount = 1/2 cup (4oz) 1-3X a day.

    • @DinaFalconi
      @DinaFalconi Před 26 dny

      And yes, generally speaking, can be helpful for allergenic wheezing.

      best to use dried, but if you only have fresh and need to use right away, give it a go.
