A.Vogel Dormeasan Sleep Valerian-Hops Oral Drops | Just Take 30 Drops Before Bedtime | 58 Days of Supply | Sleeping Aid | Extracts of Fresh Valerian Root | 50ml

Man kriegt das Zeug kaum runter und hat lange einen furchtbaren Nachgeschmack. Daher fällt es schwer die Tropfen wirklich täglich zu nehmen. Ob es funktioniert kann ich daher nicht sagen.

Excellent

Headline says it all really. The taste was awful and I am someone who hasn't had sugar for years so thought my taste buds wouldn't be so offended by any 'medicine'. I was wrong. It gets you in the gills as I always say when you feel the need for an involuntary head shake after it has triggered your salivary glands somehow. If you've ever watched I'm Celebrity when they have the bush tucker trial and you've seen how they react, well mine was the same and yet my need for sleep is so great that I endured this every night up until I felt able to sleep without it. If ever there was an incentive to get off to sleep unaided, this would be it.

I discovered this product by accident: my daughter left an unopened bottle in the cupboard. Suffering from moderate anxiety, I tried it with very little expectation. I was taken aback by how quickly I felt a relaxing effect - so quick, in fact that I was slightly disorientated. I knew from experience that natural remedies can be surprisingly effective and now I use Valerian every night. It does indeed smell and taste awful but you get used to it: I mask it with Ribena and take 20 drops per night as I get into bed. I fall asleep usually within 10 minutes after just one swig: if I wake I swallow the rest. In the morning I feel quite groggy but have slept and dreamt very deeply. The label states you can use Valerian for mild daytime anxiety and I find it highly effective for that too. It seems to ‘dismantle’ the anxiety in a very natural way, rather than suppress it. As a bonus, it costs a few pence a day. I found it best to proceed cautiously, finding the right dose for me: it’s pretty strong. It probably won’t work for everyone, but it’s been wonderfully beneficial for me.

Have been prone to disturbed sleep for years, although I go to sleep in seconds. This really seems to help me sleep better, although other lifestyle factors maybe also at play here.
