valerian tea

Calming root infusion

Valerian tea is an herbal infusion made from the root of the valerian plant, traditionally used as a sleep aid and mild sedative.

People drink it before bed to promote relaxation: I switched to valerian tea when I wanted to cut back on sleep medications.

The tea has a distinctively earthy, somewhat pungent taste that some find off-putting.
