You can use it in a tea or tincture. It is mild, but effective, non- addictive, and doesn't leave you groggy if you have to wake up with your kids. It doesn't taste too good, but it gets the job done and helps you relax into sleep. Some people do experience the opposite effect and it stimulates them rather than helping them sleep. If there is an herbalist or naturopath in your area they can give you more specific information. Even if you just use it once in awhile, a good night's sleep can help you from getting too worn down. Warm regards to you,<BR/>Melissa MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
