Herbal Sleep Honey
Here’s a super simple way to weave some sleepy herbs into your night time routine. This recipe uses Chamomile and Rose Petals to make an electuary, but you can really use any herbs that help to calm the nervous system. Some other great herbs to use are Hops, Mulungu, Passionflower or Lavender.
How to enjoy: The best way is just straight off the spoon: 1-2 teaspoons around 30 minutes before bedtime. The simple sugars in honey help to restore glycogen stores in the body which supports the production of melatonin (the sleep hormone) and then the sleepy herbs have their sedative effects. It can certainly also be added to warm water to make a herbal/honey tea or even to some warmed milk and enjoyed that way.
Instructions
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons Chamomile (alternatively Hops, Mulungu, Passionflower or Lavender)
- 2 Tablespoons Rose Petals
- 1/2 cup Honey
Method:
- Place 2 Tablespoons of each herb in a blender or food processor.
- Blend into a fine powder.
- Add 4 Tablespoons of your herb powder to a sterilised bowl.
- Add about 1/2 cup of honey and mix well.
- Transfer to a sterilised jar.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
Happy medicine making!
