Mary, in what form do you take it? What does it help with exactly?

I take it in a chewable tablet called "Calm", by Hylands, it's Passion Flower & Chamomile extra, super mild, I chew half a tablet and am gently calmer in 5 minutes or so. I also love Sleepytime Tea & Sleepytime Extra with Valerian, I drink them day or night, just sip until I feel calmer, 1/2 cup or so!
Blessings,
Fairlight

I sometimes take melatonin. You can find it with the vitamins. There are many brands that come in 1mg, 3mg and 5mg tablets. I take a 3mg tablet about 25min before bed and it helps me sleep. I have the racing ridiculous thoughts right before sleep like you posted on another topic. I've been considering trying the passion flower and other extracts as well, so I thought I'd share the melatonin with you.

Holly- I take the passion flower in liquid extract. Also have taken the Bach remedies but like the passion flower better. The passion flower I've taken was for anxiety or nervousness. Not sure how well it works for insomnia though- I've only taken it during the day.

I just bought "cherry plum" by Bach. It says it helps you act rationally and think clearly with a calm and balanced mind when you fear losing control. You can mix it in your drink or put it on your skin. . I hope this stuff works! I also got rescue remedies natural sleep aid
