Valerian, nature's secret sleep ingredient
Valerian is widely used in traditional herbal medicines and is proven to aid better sleep. When inhaled as an essential oil, studies show that it decreases the length of time it takes to fall asleep and increases the total length of time spent asleep*
Alongside Valerian we include another 10 data-backed essential oils & botanicals in Breaze Sleep Blend. Together they target the many different factors that can cause poor sleep.
