Dr Stuarts Slim Plus Tea 15 Bags (Pack of 4) - Made in a Carbon Neutral Factory - Queens Award for Enterprise

I wasn't expecting much from this tea. I'd tried Valerian root tablets in the past without much success, but I was getting a bit desperate as I had been struggling for weeks to fall asleep and stay asleep, so I was willing to give this a try. The tea itself was not unpleasant. There is a faint whizz of cheesy sock smell about it, but that's what Valerian root smells like, so I was expecting it and it didn't put me off. The taste is not strong, even though I left the tea bag stewing in the water and a few times I even double bagged it. For me, the big surprise was how I started to fall asleep more easily and although I still woke up some nights after about four hours or so - I was able to fall back to sleep much quicker than before.A couple of other effects I observed:- although I was drinking a mug of liquid an hour before bedtime, this didn't seem to affect my, erm... how do I put this ... bathroom habits. I didn't find myself waking up in need (female here BTW, 54 years old which has some bearing on the issue) and- although I was expecting some grogginess in the morning, I didn't notice any in particular (except when I double bagged my tea). In fact, I have felt more groggy after taking Piriton (anti-histamine) at night - so that was good.Overall very pleased with this tea and still quite surprised that it seems to have worked for me.

Fantastic product and service

Definitely seems to help to relax and sleep

Yeah, this (coupled with 50mg of promethazine hydrochloride) does the job wellI put agave nectar in it to sweeten itI used to drink chamomile tea, but this is better

Always get teabags from here. Great service. Perfect tea and after being unable to purchase in store anymore was so pleased to find on Amazon

I have used this on multiple occasions and it always helps, soothe my throat.The taste is a little unusual, but it is worth it to save your voice.

The smell is a little funky but the taste is all okay. Works so well. Been sleeping way better.Also try Reishi Mushroom extract and magnesium if you have trouble getting deep sleep.But this Valerian root tea is tops shelf even on its own.Cut of tea before bed and I'm yawning my way to a deep sleep.Definitely worth it. You get used to the smell and it's not that strong as some might say.
