In today's fast-paced world, the time constraints and pressures of daily living inhibit our ability to get a sound, good night's sleep.  That is why Herbal Extracts Plus has created a unique blend of all-natural medicinal extracts in an herbal product called Herbal Sedative as a natural means to combat this all-too-common problem. The superior herbal supplements in the formula - Valerian and Passion Flower - are two of the best-known botanical sedatives that not only support relaxation, but also relieve the anxiety and stress that can cause insomnia and even possibly lead to more serious health problems.  If you are troubled with too little or restless sleep, or you are unable to shut out the day's problems and unwind, Herbal Sedative   can help you to settle down, relax and drop off to a deep, restorative sleep that will let you awaken refreshed - and all without the groggy feelings or addictive side effects that can accompany synthetic pharmaceutical "sleeping pills."   If you need a good night's sleep or you need to relax, then you really need Herbal Sedative.

Purpose of Formulation:
The premium plant extracts in Herbal Sedative are well-known, botanical sedatives that promote relaxation, calm the nerves, reduce stress and induce a deep, sound, refreshing sleep.

Ingredients:
A mixture of 60% Valerian Root (0.8% Valerenic Acids) and 40% Passion Flower 4:1

Valerian Root is Nature's Tranquilizer.  For centuries it has been used in alternative medicine to regulate the nervous system and relieve tension, irritability, nervous exhaustion and stress, anxiety and hysteria.  As a sedative, Valerian Root treats temporary insomnia, helping to provide a sound sleep without the morning-after grogginess frequently associated with prescription drugs (such as Valium, etc.), and perhaps more importantly, Valerian also does not lead to dependence or addiction when used.

Passion Flower is a very gentle (but effective) sedative that has a depressant effect on the central nervous system.  The alkaloids and flavonoids are believed to be effective, non-addictive sedatives, which promote restful, sound sleep, particularly in cases of nervous insomnia.  It is one of nature's best tranquilizers and has been used for centuries as a reliable remedy for nervous, menopausal and premenstrual tension, irritability, fatigue and tension headaches.  It is said to gently shift moods, alter perception and aid concentration; and the alkaloids are thought to act in a similar way as MAO inhibitors, which may be of some help in cases of depression.  In Italy, Passion Flower is used to treat hyperactive children.
