Evening Tonic for Pain

This Evening Tonic has changed my life in 2 days...or should I say NIGHTS!  Here's what I did for this Evening Tonic Recipe...

Rooibos
Chamomile Flowers
Peppermint
Valerian Extract*

I took equal parts Rooibos and Chamomile Flowers and put them in a tea infuser strainer, then added a pinch of dried peppermint leaves and 1/4 teaspoon of Valerian Extract from Ojio.

I added water to my teacup and let sit for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Not only did this help me get to sleep and stay asleep it seemed to help my pain issues.  My knee is getting much better pain-wise but now it's really tight and stiff.  This seems to help in the evenings!

According to the product description on their website...

This potent natural extract of the Valerian herb is naturally sourced and more effective as an herb of Ayurveda. 

Potent natural extract. 

Popular Ayurvedic herbal remedy for anxiety. 

Used for a millennia as a sedative and sleep aid. 

Found in herbal folk remedies around the world.

 I'm totally LOVING this product and others from Ojio and will be blogging more about them very soon!
