Our Deep sleep tea is a natural sleeping aid that can help you unwind before bed time so that you can enjoy a deeper, more restorative sleep. It has been crafted to help you fall and stay asleep. It's made with a herbal blend of gentle sedatives and relaxing, calm-inducing plants, including skullcap, passionflower, lemon balm, peppermint, and wild lettuce.
Skullcap
Skullcap is a natural sedative that can have a calming effect on the body. It’s an effective treatment for tension headaches and works to relax the muscles and digestive system. It is particularly helpful to calm a busy mind which is unable to switch off.
Passionflower
Passionflower has calming properties and is a natural antispasmodic, helping to relax tense muscles which may prevent you from getting off to sleep and staying asleep.
Lemon balm
Soothing lemon balm can help to ease tension and soothe the digestive system. It cools heat in the body and mind, relaxing both to promote a restorative sleep.
Peppermint
Peppermint is a natural digestion aid which also eases tension in the muscles, enabling the body to relax and drift off. It also has a naturally fresh and pleasant taste, to please the senses before bed time.
Wild lettuce
Wild lettuce is a strong sedative herb that eases restlessness and induces deep and restful sleep. It also eases muscle tension, ensuring nothing gets in the way of your beauty sleep.
This product contains skullcap, passionflower, lemon balm, peppermint and wild lettuce.
When to drink and how often
Drink 1-2 cups, 30-60 minutes before bed.
How to make
Infuse one teaspoon of loose herbs in a cup of boiled water. Leave for 10-15 minutes, strain, cool and enjoy. We recommend covering the tea while it brews to ensure maximum potency and flavour. You can infuse the same serving of herbs twice in boiling water to make a second cup.

To amplify the effects of our Deep Sleep Tea, consider the following:
-
Consistent Sleep Routine: Go to bed only when sleepy and aim for a consistent wake-up time. Develop a calming pre-sleep routine to signal to your brain it's time to wind down – such as by dimming your lights and through using the products in our Sleep range!
-
Exercise Mindfully: Engage in regular, moderate exercise, preferably in the late afternoon or early evening. Physical exercise can help tire your body and encourage sleep. However, avoid vigorous exercise right before bedtime.
-
Dietary Considerations: In addition to adopting a balanced diet, make sure to consume tryptophan-rich foods such as bananas, figs, dates, or yoghurt. The amino acid tryptophan helps promote sleep by increasing the levels of both serotonin and melatonin. Avoid large meals before bedtime and caffeine post-afternoon. The amino acid tyramine can act as a stimulant by increasing the release of norepinephrine, so it’s important to also avoid tyramine-rich foods like cheese, chocolate, bacon, tomatoes and wine just before bedtime.
-
Hydration Balance: Drink ample water throughout the day, but limit intake before bedtime to reduce night-time awakenings.
-
Limit Stimulants: Steer clear of nicotine, as it acts as a neurostimulant. If daytime napping is part of your routine, ensure it doesn’t interfere with nighttime sleep.
-
Tech Etiquette: Reduce screen time in the evening, especially blue light from devices. Consider “night mode” settings and keep devices out of the bedroom.
-
Room Ambiance: Ensure your sleep environment is dark, quiet, and cool. Use tools like blackout curtains or white noise machines if needed.
