Herbs for Restful Sleep

In a world of overstimulation, the nervous system craves stillness. Traditional herbalism has long recognized a family of plants called nervines — herbs that nourish, calm, and restore the nervous system. Valerian, passionflower, chamomile, and lemon balm each offer a distinct quality of rest: some deepen sleep, others quiet the mind, and some gently ease the transition from waking to dreaming.

“Rest is not idleness. It is the soil in which healing grows.”
