Due to snow shoveling, paperwork shoveling, and elder care anxiety, I hit an exhaustion wall very early last night. Tried an orphan sample of this; I don’t generally like valerian, but the lemon masked it pretty well. As to its medicinal value, I was in bed by 8:00 p.m.—due largely in part to the fatigue, but this no doubt contributed.

I hope the tea helped you rest well to face the day with renewed energy. Also not a fan of valerian, although.. if it works? Fantastic.

I’ve not used valerian often enough to confirm that it really has an effect on me. (I’ve commented elsewhere that valerian tastes like you’re licking a dead tree branch.) Tulsi is my usual calmer-downer of choice.
