Organic Nighty Night Extra Tea

After learning the benefits of valerian root as a sleep aid, I started taking this Solaray Valerian Root, 470 mg, 180 Count in capsule form, along with a cup of this Traditional Medicinals Organic Nighty Night Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of 6) before bed. This combination works well for me, but the sedating effects of valerian root in capsule form took an hour or more (for me) to feel. It’s not hard to understand that it might take this long for the gel cap to dissolve in your stomach and then be absorbed into the bloodstream. So I took the valerian capsule a couple hours before bedtime, and drank the tea right before bed. No complaints - this combo provided the sleepy feeling needed to fall asleep in minutes, fall back to sleep quickly after any bathroom breaks, get a full 6-8 hours of continuous sleep, and wake up refreshed without any morning grogginess. Who could ask for more? Me. After discovering the valerian root version of Traditional Medicinals Nighty Night tea, I wondered if it the valerian root would work faster in liquid form – and it does. So now, 30 or so minutes before bedtime, I drink a cup of tea brewed from a single tea bag of BOTH Nighty Night teas. Yes, I’ve tried Nighty Night valerian root tea by itself, but sleep onset is considerably slower. And yes, I’ve tried the Nighty Night tea without valerian root, but the passion flower blend isn’t always potent enough to keep me asleep all night. What the valerian root blend lacks in smell/taste is made up for with longevity, and what the passion flower lacks in longevity is made up for with smell and taste. Valerian root smells like a sewer all on its own, and has nothing to do with the brand or delivery method. But it’s safe and effective, and I’d be more concerned about any form of valerian root that didn’t smell putrid, as it probably means it’s poor quality and/or there’s not enough of it to do its magic. That said, Traditional Medicinals has done a good job of masking the odor of this high-quality, organic tea, and an even better job of masking its flavor. The passion flower blend is a downright tasty brew. The valerian root blend isn’t as tasty as the other, but it’s not as bad as some here would have you think – its smell and taste have been nicely masked with other herbs. And when the two are combined, the flavor is very nice indeed. If you're looking for a cozy flavorful herbal tea just for the sake of enjoyment before bed, you might want to look elsewhere (or drink the passion flower blend alone), but if you're looking for sleep, you've come to the right place.

I like this tea a lot has great relaxation and smoothness to it. It has a lot of health benefits and tastes very good. It’s easy to use. I have a electric tea kettle and it works perfectly with it. I have at least one if not to teabags every night I love this brand.

Real good. i work, mostly, the night shift, and this tea helps me to calm down, and restfullly sleep through my off time.

Smells absolutely awful when steeping but honestly tastes pretty good. I add a little honey too make it a bit sweeter. I’ve only had a few but I’d say it works pretty good sleep wise!

Good tea if you’re sick. Not too overly powerful. It arrived quickly with no problems. Nothing remarkable, will try other brands

Great all natural tea with a good taste, helps to get to sleep and relaximg

It works well but horrible smell. The taste is not exactly pleasant so I won't be purchasing more. I want to at least enjoy it. Going to stick with what I was using for sleepy time.

I work night shift and this is a life saver . I fall asleep and don’t wake up drowsy . I like the taste as well it refreshing and calming . I stopped with melatonin because I was giving me night mares and this I have a peaceful sleep . I stepped with some honey and it tastes great sometimes I use lime juice.

I don't like the smell.

taste good and put you in sleep mode!

I think this really helps.

心落ち着き、快眠は誘って来れます。
