I buy these things but I wonder if they are truly pharmacologically-active and not just bullshit. Discuss

Give skullcap a try if you can find the extract or a tea, that one worked super well for me to help get to sleep

What do you think or Yogi-brand teas?

[โ€“] fred@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't had a lot of luck with that brand, but I know it's popular so maybe some do. Bigelow Stress Free is one that has skullcap and worked well for me. But it's a bit hard to find :/ which is weird because I actually really like the flavor too (rose and mint.) Rather than stress relief I use it as a sleep aid though - it's more of a "lets you sleep" than "makes you sleep" which I like.

They literally have:

  1. Calming
  2. stress relief
  3. Restful sleep

And I'm pretty sure its all like the same shit :/
