An Evening Herbal Tincture of Valerian, Passionflower & Chamomile
Deep Sleep Tincture is a concentrated herbal tincture for the end of the day, taken in water shortly before bed. Valerian, passionflower and ashwagandha are blended with chamomile, vervain, lavender and nutmeg, made as a whole-herb liquid extract.
The Herbs
Deep Sleep Tincture brings together two groups of herbs traditionally used for sleep. Calming herbs quieten a busy mind and relax a tense body. Grounding herbs ease the stress that keeps the body alert at night. Together they make a blend for an easier passage into restful sleep.
To Calm
Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis): A renowned traditional sedative, relied upon for persistent sleeplessness. It helps quieten the tension that keeps the mind alert, and its muscle-relaxing properties help when aching or tension makes rest difficult.
Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata): Traditionally used for evening restlessness and irritability, to help regularise erratic sleep and soothe the nervous tension behind a racing mind.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): A gentle, mildly sedative herb that promotes physical relaxation, and soothes both the nervous and digestive systems.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Celebrated for promoting natural sleepiness and relieving the nervous tension behind a heavy-headed feeling at night.
To Ground
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): A well-known adaptogen used to relieve the chronic stress that often prevents deep sleep, and to ease the daytime fatigue that follows a poor night.
Vervain (Verbena officinalis): A classic nerve tonic for a frazzled nervous system, traditionally used by those caught in circular thoughts in the evening.
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans): A warming spice traditionally used to support deep, restful sleep and to soothe nervous indigestion.
Why a Tincture?
Unlike tablets or capsules, a liquid tincture delivers whole-herb extracts in a form that is readily absorbed and easy to fit into a daily routine.
Each batch of Deep Sleep Tincture is made by slowly extracting the whole herbs, drawing out and preserving a broad spectrum of their natural compounds, including volatile oils and phytonutrients. The finished tincture captures the full character of each plant.

An Evening Ritual
Keep a Regular Waking Time: Rise at the same time each morning, however the night went, and go to bed when genuinely sleepy.
Wind Down Slowly: Lower the lights, put devices away, and pair the tincture with other pieces from the Zen Maitri Sleep Collection.
Eat Early and Lightly: A lighter evening meal, with caffeine finished by early afternoon.
Prepare the Room: Keep the bedroom dark, quiet and cool, with technology left outside.
About an hour before bed, five millilitres diluted in half a cup of water. A tincture is absorbed faster than a capsule, which is why it suits taking closer to bedtime.
The tincture acts fastest. The capsules are the fullest formula and easiest to take consistently. The tea is the gentlest and makes a ritual of it. Many people drink the tea nightly and keep the tincture for difficult nights.
Deep Sleep contains no sedative drugs. Some people find valerian leaves them heavy-headed if taken too late, so if that happens, take it earlier in the evening rather than immediately before bed.
Valerian is the best known of the European calming roots, used continuously since classical antiquity. Its smell is famously strong, which is one reason it is usually taken diluted.
It is formulated for regular use. If sleep has been difficult for more than a few weeks, that is worth raising with your doctor rather than managing alone.
It is an expertly formulated blend of herbs designed to help you relax before bed, quiet a busy mind, and support a natural, restorative sleep cycle.
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not take it with alcohol, sedatives, sleeping tablets or antidepressant medication without speaking to your doctor. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
We do not recommend combining this tincture with sleeping tablets or other sedative medication without first consulting one of our Medical Herbalists or another healthcare professional.
If you are taking antidepressants or any other prescription medication, please consult one of our Medical Herbalists or your healthcare professional before use. They can assess any potential interactions based on your individual circumstances.
Some herbs may interact with blood-thinning medication. Please consult your GP or one of our Medical Herbalists before use.
If you are taking any prescription medication, please consult your GP or contact our Medical Herbalists at info@zenmaitri.com before use.
Yes. Always dilute your tincture in half a glass of room-temperature water before drinking.
