Our Deep sleep tincture is a natural sleep aid for anyone who struggles to relax before bed. It's made with a powerful herbal blend of natural sedatives and relaxants, including vervain, chamomile, valerian, and ashwagandha. This tincture is ideal for anyone struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, agitation and/or circular thoughts in the evening. Our Deep sleep tincture works to improve the quality of your sleep and helps mind and body unwind before bedtime.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha can support you by calming your nervous system as well as improve the quality and duration of your sleep. This adaptogenic herb can also have a positive effect on increasing your physical and mental resilience to stress, and relieving any tension and anxiety.
Vervain
Vervain is a nerve tonic, meaning it supports, strengthens and nourishes your nervous system. This helps to reduce stress and promotes deeper, more restorative sleep. On another note, it can also ease digestive discomfort.
Valerian root
Valerian root is one of the most relaxing, sedating herbs out there, ideal for anyone suffering from insomnia. It works to reduce tension and calm overexcitability. If your inability to sleep is down to muscle tension, valerian can also help with that thanks to its analgesic (pain relieving) and antispasmodic properties.
Chamomile
Chamomile is another mildly sedative herb, which promotes relaxation. It has a soothing and calming effect on both the nervous and digestive systems.
Passionflower
Passionflower is a sedative that works to regularise your sleeping pattern, and has a positive effect on soothing tension. It also helps to calm your nerves, restlessness and irritability.
Lavender
Lavender promotes relaxation and has a soothing effect on headaches.
Nutmeg
Nutmeg is traditionally used in Ayurveda (Traditional Indian Medicine) to promote restful sleep. Nutmeg also has a warming and soothing effect on the digestive system.
This product contains ashwagandha root, vervain, valerian root, chamomile, passionflower, lavender, nutmeg, purified water and ethyl alcohol.
Our Tinctures contain alcohol. Using alcohol enables us to effectively extract a wide range of constituents from plants. It also means that tinctures keep well - alcohol prevents the growth of bacteria and inhibits enzyme activity. Tinctures are easy to take and to carry around with you as you only need small amounts (generally of 2-3 teaspoons per day).
If you cannot or would not like to take alcohol in your medicine, please consider our herbal supplements or herbal teas within the same range and/or consult one of our medical herbalists so that they can devise a bespoke prescription for you. Please feel free to email us on info@zenmaitri.com if you have any questions.
When to take
If you are struggling to fall asleep, we recommend taking 5-7.5ml, 10-15 minutes before going to bed. This can be increased to 10ml if needed.
If you find that you are waking up in the middle of the night, take 5- 7.5ml whenever your sleep is disturbed. Increase to 10ml if needed.
Please always remember to dilute the tincture in water before drinking.
How to make
Dilute 5ml in a quarter glass of room temperature water and drink.

To amplify the effects of our Deep Sleep Tincture, 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.
