6. Hi CT, I have used a brand called Gaia Herbs

I guess going on 32 years (hard to believe). This tea is a new formula for Gaia and it comes in little tea bags. It's called Sleep and Relax. I have high bp and at times when I feel overly anxious I also take the Gaia Hawthorn Supreme in caps. it really calms me down. It is a heart tonic. I have to take prescription meds as well for bp daily but I use this hawthorn formula when I am overly upset/anxious and just consumed with disorientation and focus. Especially when I need to sleep. There is one other herb I use from another company called Dragon Herbs. I started using Dragon Herb Company during the lockdown when I stayed at home since I was unvaccinated and wanted to boost my immune system. But, this Dragon Herbs company has a good herb blend called Lights Out which works. So, CT, when I am so highly overanxious, need to sleep, and cannot, I take the recommended dose of all 3 of these herbs: 1 capsule of the Hawhorn Supreme (Gaia), 3 capsules of Lights Out (Dragon Herbs), and I make a little teapot with the Sleep and Relax teabag steeping in freshly poured hot water. I think there was only one time that my routine didn't work: I had a very upsetting day that day, was in a foreign country and there was construction going on in the hotel where I was trying to sleep. i was a total wreck. I may have only slept 3 hours and had to go to work the next day. I was devastated. It was the one time I did not take the tea. The Lights Out formula is a combination of Chinese herbs, I just looked at it and it recommends 4 capsules. I have been taking 3. I will up the dose to 4 capsules, then, when I need to. I wish you well. It is horrible to lose sleep when you need to sleep.
oh hi there dameatball, I thought it was CT with the question, lol, well I hope you find this helpful. sleep is very important to me.
