I love valerian root! Yes it smells bad but it works great. I've also used melatonin which takes longer to kick in but works just as well. Otherwise I drink sleepy time tea which helps me to relax and destress. I'd stay away from chamomile though unless you like a bittery strong flavor.


Insanity is merely sanity that has sunk in!

Be VERY careful with this substance, it's extremely toxic to your liver.

Good ideas here
I usually drink Valerian tea too end you're right, it's not the best taste. Usually by the time I get to the last sip I drink it like medicine not because I like it.
Just try adding other herbs tht you do like, like mint or something. Don't be afraid to mix herbs. Especially when you work with 'everyday' ones.
You can also try the warm milk but add Aniseed in it to make it taste better. We get those in cubs, like sugarcubes, but if yo can't get that then just get the seeds but crush them before you use them...

Herbs are everywhere and in everything!
All kinds of tea are usually made with herbs. You use herbs in your food and just about anywhere else.
Try herbs like mint en such things and you'll see what I mean.
It also might help to Wash them before you use them
