A herbal sleep aid called Dormeasan® is derived from extracts of hops and freshly picked, organic Valerian root. There is no "sleeping pill" in Dormeasan®. Being a herbal sleeping aid, it usually doesn't make you feel sleepy in the morning. Dormeasan® comes in a liquid herbal tincture form, unlike many other sleep aids. If taken just 30 minutes before bed, it can help ease anxiety about difficulty falling asleep by promoting a more normal sleep pattern that will improve your quality of sleep and wakefulness. A. Vogel assure that only recently harvested hop plants and Valerian root are used to manufacture Dormeasan®. By doing this, it is ensured that the resultant herb extracts include the active* elements that promote restful sleep. See The A. Vogel fresh herb tale for further details on why we like using fresh herbs in our herbal treatments. Because the volatile oils in the fresh herbs have not been lost, Dormeasan® tincture has a richer taste and scent. It's possible that some people would rather take Dormeasan® diluted in fruit juice than in water. Not intended for use by persons under the age of 18.
