Preparing Mind and Body for Rest
Deep Sleep Tincture is a concentrated botanical formula designed to settle an over-active mind and support the body's natural transition into restful sleep. In an age of persistent mental stimulation and busy modern lifestyles, the ability to "switch off" is a foundational pillar of health. Our medical herbalists have crafted this blend using potent herbs traditionally relied upon to ease nervous tension, quiet racing thoughts, and reduce physical restlessness.
By combining the gentle sedative properties of Valerian and Passionflower with the grounding adaptogenic support of Ashwagandha, this tincture works to support sleep quality while helping you disconnect from the pressures of the day. Whether you are struggling with periodic sleep disturbances or find it difficult to transition out of an "alert" state, this botanical formula provides the focused, effective support needed for a restorative night's rest.
Rather than simply helping you unwind before bed, Deep Sleep Tincture is designed to become the final, grounding step in your evening ritual. Whether you are looking to quieten a racing mind, ease nervous tension, or encourage a more restorative night's sleep, this whole-plant formula provides gentle botanical support to help you transition naturally from the demands of the day into restful sleep.

Nervines & Restorative Relaxation
We utilise herbs traditionally categorised as "nervines"—plants that have been used for centuries to support, strengthen, and nourish the nervous system, helping to ease the physical and mental manifestations of stress.
Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis): A renowned traditional sedative often relied upon by those experiencing persistent sleeplessness. It is traditionally used to help reduce the internal tension that keeps the mind alert and quieten overexcitability. Its analgesic (pain-relieving) and antispasmodic (muscle-relaxing) properties make it particularly beneficial if your inability to rest is triggered by physical discomfort, aching muscles, or bodily tension.
Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata): An invaluable herb for those who struggle with evening restlessness and irritability. It is traditionally used to help regularise erratic sleep patterns and soothe the anxiety and nervous tension that often leads to a racing mind.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): A gentle, mildly sedative herb that promotes physical relaxation. It is ideal for those who "carry their stress in their gut," as it provides a soothing effect on both the nervous and digestive systems, helping to ease the agitation that often prevents the onset of sleep.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Celebrated for its ability to promote natural sleepiness while relieving the nervous tension associated with stress-related headaches or that "heavy-headed" feeling that prevents you from drifting off.
Adaptogenic & Grounding Support
To help address the underlying stress that can leave the body feeling "wired," we include herbs traditionally used to support the body's ability to return to a state of balance.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): A well-known adaptogen—a class of herbs traditionally used to help the body manage the physical and mental effects of stress. It is used to relieve the chronic stress that often prevents deep, restorative sleep. By helping to ground the nervous system, it supports the quality of rest and helps ease the daytime fatigue that often follows a poor night's sleep.
Vervain (Verbena officinalis): A classic nerve tonic used to strengthen and nourish a depleted or "frazzled" nervous system. It is traditionally used by those who find themselves caught in circular, repetitive thoughts in the evening, while also easing the digestive discomfort that can accompany periods of prolonged stress.
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans): A traditional warming spice used to support deep and restful sleep. It is traditionally used to soothe nervous indigestion, creating the optimal internal environment for a peaceful transition to sleep.

Getting the Most from Your Deep Sleep Tincture
Our Deep Sleep Tincture is designed to become the final, grounding step in your evening routine. For best results, take consistently as directed and allow the herbs time to gently support your body's natural transition into restful sleep.
Standard Protocol
If you are struggling to fall asleep, take 5–7.5ml of the tincture, diluted in a quarter glass of room-temperature water, 10–15 minutes before going to bed. If needed, this may be increased to 10ml.
If You Wake During the Night
If you find yourself waking during the night, take 5–7.5ml of the tincture, diluted in a quarter glass of room-temperature water. If needed, this may be increased to 10ml.
Maximum Daily Intake
Do not exceed 10ml per day unless otherwise advised by a qualified healthcare professional.
How to Prepare
Always dilute your tincture before drinking.
Using the integrated glass dropper, measure 5–10ml of the tincture and dilute it in a quarter glass of room-temperature water before drinking.
A 5ml serving is approximately 100 drops. While the exact number of drops can vary slightly depending on the dropper, this provides a reliable way to measure your serving.
Duration
We recommend taking Deep Sleep Tincture consistently for 7–10 days. If your sleep difficulties persist beyond 10 days, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our Medical Herbalists or seeking advice from a Medical Professional.

To complement the benefits of our Deep Sleep Tincture and support a healthy, natural circadian rhythm, our Medical Herbalists recommend the following daily practices:
Establish a Sleep Ritual
Aim for a consistent wake-up time, regardless of how you slept the night before. Try going to bed only when you feel genuinely sleepy. Create a calming pre-sleep routine to signal to your brain that it is time to wind down—dim the lights, put away electronic devices, and consider incorporating other products from our Sleep Collection into your evening ritual.
Mindful Movement
Aim to engage in regular, moderate exercise. Late afternoon or early evening is often ideal, as it helps tire the body and encourages restful sleep. However, try to avoid vigorous or high-intensity exercise immediately before bedtime, as this can be overstimulating.
Dietary Timing
Support healthy serotonin and melatonin production by consuming tryptophan-rich foods earlier in the day, such as bananas, tofu, lean meats (including chicken and turkey), milk, cheese, quinoa, walnuts and almonds.
In the evening, try to avoid large meals, caffeine after the early afternoon, and tyramine-rich foods (such as aged cheese, chocolate, bacon, tomatoes and wine), as these may act as stimulants in some individuals.
Balancing Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to remain well hydrated. In the few hours before bedtime, try to reduce your fluid intake to minimise the likelihood of waking during the night.
Managing Stimulants Be mindful of nicotine, as it is a significant stimulant of the nervous system. If you are prone to daytime napping, try to ensure that naps do not interfere with your ability to fall asleep at your usual bedtime.
Optimising Your Sleep Environment
Aim to limit screen time in the evening to minimise blue light exposure, which can interfere with natural melatonin production. Use "Night Mode" on electronic devices where possible, and try to keep technology out of the bedroom.
Create a sleep environment that is dark, quiet and cool. If you live in a busy area, blackout curtains, earplugs or white noise machines may help create a more restful sleeping environment.
