L'herbô 3 Sleep & Relaxation Herbal Blend

How to Brew: Perfect Infusion for Maximum Benefits

For optimal extraction of therapeutic compounds and flavor, use 1 tablespoon (3-4 grams) of the herbal blend per cup (150-250 ml) of water.

Heat fresh water to 80°C (176°F) just below boiling. Water that's too hot can destroy delicate essential oils in chamomile and lavender. Pour the heated water over the herbs in a glass or porcelain vessel (avoid metal, which can alter flavor).

Cover immediately to trap aromatic volatile compounds that provide much of the therapeutic benefit. Let steep for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even extraction. The infusion will develop a golden-amber color with a fragrant floral aroma.

Strain through a fine mesh to remove plant material. The resulting tea should have a delicate sweetness with layered floral and citrus notes.

Timing matters: Consume 30-60 minutes before bedtime for maximum sleep support. The herbs need time to begin their relaxing effects before you attempt to sleep.

Daily dosage is 3-4 tablespoons of dried blend per liter of water, divided into 2-3 cups throughout the evening. You may add honey for additional sweetness, though the blend is naturally pleasant on its own.

This infusion can also be enjoyed during stressful moments throughout the day, though its primary benefits shine when used as part of an evening relaxation ritual.

Pure Organic Ingredients: Five Calming Herbs in Harmony

This therapeutic blend combines five organic herbs, each contributing unique properties to support relaxation and sleep.

Chamomile matricaire (30%) forms the foundation with delicate white flowers that release apple-like sweetness and gentle sedative compounds. These tiny blossoms have been treasured for centuries for their ability to calm the nervous system and ease tension throughout the body.

Lavender (20%) adds its distinctive purple flowers, bringing both aromatic beauty and powerful relaxing properties. The silvery-green buds release soothing essential oils that help reduce irritability and promote mental tranquility.

Bitter orange (20%) contributes dried peel with bright citrus notes and natural compounds that support healthy sleep onset. The fragrant orange pieces add both flavor complexity and sleep-enhancing benefits.

Verbena (20%) offers slender green leaves with refreshing lemon-like aroma. This herb brings digestive comfort while adding a crisp, clean note that balances the floral sweetness.

Fennel (10%) provides small, ridged seeds with a subtle anise-like flavor and gentle digestive support. These aromatic seeds add a touch of natural sweetness and help soothe the digestive tract before sleep.

All ingredients are certified organic, cultivated without pesticides or synthetic chemicals, and carefully blended for optimal therapeutic effect.

Natural Sleep Support & Stress Relief

This herbal blend offers comprehensive support for those seeking better sleep quality and daily stress management through natural plant compounds.

Sleep enhancement: Bitter orange naturally supports sleep onset and depth, helping reduce nighttime awakenings and promoting more restorative rest cycles. Many find their sleep quality improves noticeably within days of regular evening use.

The synergistic combination of chamomile and lavender creates a powerful relaxation effect. Chamomile contains apigenin, a compound that binds to specific brain receptors to promote calmness and drowsiness. Lavender adds linalool and linalyl acetate natural compounds that help reduce cortisol levels and ease both physical and mental tension.

Stress reduction: The blend diminishes irritability and nervous tension through multiple pathways. Lavender and chamomile work together to calm the nervous system, while verbena adds gentle mood-lifting properties that help maintain emotional balance during challenging days.

Fennel and verbena provide additional digestive comfort, addressing the stomach tension that often accompanies stress. This dual-action approach calming both mind and digestive system creates comprehensive relaxation that makes falling asleep easier and more natural.

The infusion works gently without causing next-day drowsiness, making it ideal for regular use. Unlike pharmaceutical sleep aids, this plant-based blend supports your body's natural sleep mechanisms rather than forcing sedation.

Regular consumption helps establish healthy sleep patterns over time, reducing the frequency of sleep disturbances and improving overall rest quality.

European Herbal Wisdom Traditions

Each herb in this blend carries centuries of traditional use across European cultures, where plant-based remedies formed the foundation of household healing practices.

Chamomile's history stretches back to ancient Egypt, where it was dedicated to the sun god Ra and used to treat fever and nervous disorders. Medieval European monasteries cultivated extensive chamomile gardens, recognizing its value for promoting restful sleep and easing digestive complaints. The herb became so essential that it was among the first plants European settlers brought to North America.

Lavender held sacred status in Roman bathhouses, where it perfumed the waters and helped bathers release the day's tensions. The name derives from the Latin "lavare" (to wash), reflecting its cleansing properties. Throughout medieval Europe, lavender was strewn on floors and stuffed into pillows to promote peaceful sleep and ward off nightmares.

Bitter orange arrived in Mediterranean regions through Arabic traders around the 10th century. Spanish and Italian herbalists quickly recognized its sleep-supporting properties, incorporating it into evening tisanes. By the Renaissance, bitter orange featured prominently in European pharmacopeias as a remedy for nervous agitation and insomnia.

Verbena earned the name "herb of grace" in medieval Europe, where it was believed to protect against evil spirits and promote tranquility. Celtic druids used it in purification rituals, while Roman priests employed it in sacred ceremonies. This reverence reflected observed calming effects that modern research now attributes to specific plant compounds.

This blend honors the French "herboristerie" tradition the art of combining herbs to create synergistic therapeutic effects. Traditional herbalists understood that certain plants work better together, amplifying individual benefits through careful blending.
