Ingredients: Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), alcohol, filtered rain water.
Suggested Practice: one dropperful up to 3 times daily mixed with a little water or juice. Start on the lower end of the spectrum and see how it feels in your body.
Cautions: Safe for occasional use. Valerian is not a reliable sedative for all individuals, as some experience excitation from working with this herb (if unsure if this is you, test first on an afternoon where it does not matter if you become drowsy or awake). Too much can cause drowsiness the following day. If bad dreams start discontinue use or formulate with passionflower. Do not use before driving vehicles or machinery work except in single drop doses.
