Questions

The Ašič approach

Which herbs, and why

The base is lemon balm, hops, lavender, valerian and St John's wort: the plants Father Ašič recommended for restlessness and for trouble falling asleep.

The same plants appear in the tea and in the drops. The tea is milder and drunk in the evening; the drops are more concentrated and measured to the instructions.

How to use them

Practical, no promises

An evening tea is traditionally made half an hour to an hour before bed, one teaspoon to a cup of boiling water, covered for ten minutes.

The drops are measured to the instructions on the pack, usually into a little water.

These products are no substitute for treatment with prescribed medicines. If sleeplessness lasts for weeks, see a doctor, as it can be a sign of something else.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask about Stress and sleep

Which tea is traditionally drunk for easier sleep?

Evening blends with lemon balm, hops and lavender. They are drunk warm, half an hour to an hour before bed. The composition is given with every product.

What is the difference between the tea and the drops?

The plants are the same and the form is different. The tea is milder and is drunk in the evening; the drops are more concentrated and are measured to the instructions on the pack.

Does the tea cause drowsiness during the day?

The evening blends are meant for the evening. If you drink them during the day they can affect concentration; take care before driving or working with machinery.

Can I use the products alongside sedatives?

Not without asking first. Using the product is no substitute for treatment with prescribed medicines; ask your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

How long can I drink a calming tea?

Traditionally for shorter periods, with breaks in between. If the trouble lasts, that is a conversation for a doctor, not for tea.

Which blend is the right one for me?

Ring the pharmacist and say what is troubling you. If none of the blends fits, we make one to order.
