Foundations of Herbal Sleep Support

Dr.

Quality sleep is the cornerstone of recovery. Gentle nervines such as passionflower, lemon balm, and skullcap can calm an overactive mind without the hangover effect of stronger sedatives. Magnesium glycinate, a cool-dark bedroom, and a consistent bedtime support the herbs rather than replace them. Always start with one herb at a time to gauge your response.
