Botanic Choice Passion Flower Liquid Extract - Alcohol-Free Herbal Supplement, Traditional Support for Relaxation - 1 Fl. Oz

This stuff makes ya mellow. If ya know what I mean

I have had a lifetime of insomnia (over 50 years, starting in childhood). It takes up to two hours to get to sleep. I wake up in 4.5-5hours. If I take a nap during the day, I can't get to sleep at night. During periods of high stress, I am lucky to get 3 hours of sleep. Believe me, it is serious and debilitating and it makes you look like it. Not helpful for a winning game.I've tried every natural product in the book. Valerian didn't touch it, but it was a tiny bit relaxing. Kava-zip. Melatonin helps a tiny bit, as does lavender and frankincense essential oils. 5HTP helps a little. Gaba helps a little more. But still, only 5-6 hours of sleep.I've done the relaxing music, no monitors for an hour before sleep, hot baths with epsom salts, warm milk before bed, exercise, earthing (bare feet on ground to discharge excess energy), eating a little prior to sleep, not eating 3 hours before sleep, no caffeine, alcohol, no alcohol, pitch dark rooms and sleeping masks (a little helpful), and more. I can't even remember everything I have tried. 50 years is a long time.As for drugs, Benadryl works moderately well but had side effects, eventually behaving the opposite of what I wanted. Ambien caused hallucinations and other very miserable side effects. Valium worked fairly well, with no side effects, but is scary-addictive and I couldn't use it regularly. Flexeril helped a lot, but over time, it makes your face muscles relax too, adding to the aged, tired look. I have even tried heavy-slugger psyche drugs, all causing considerable problems ("side effects"), so I was trading one misery for another, and felt it was threatening my health.Recently I tried this passion flower tincture after a friend gave me a long list of what to try. (I had already tried every single thing on his list but two: Artemisia and Passion Flower.) I had very little hope for it, but I picked Passion Flower to start.I am one week in to taking this tincture as directed. (The taste is isn't horrible, thankfully.) From the first night on, here is what has happened: 1) take the tincture as directed on the bottle, 2) within an hour feeling very sleepy and tired, 3) go to bed and fall asleep within 10minutes or so, 4) only one wake-up to urinate, 5) able to go back to sleep right away, which NEVER happens to me!, 5) sleeping 8-9 hours!--every night!, 6) I notice I am remembering parts of dreams for the first time since I was a teenager, 7) I am waking up deeply physically relaxed, and feeling fabulous without hangover. 8) I feel smooth and well all day long; no weird problems happening. 9) after a week of good sleep, I am detecting a mood change for the better; I feel different mentally; similar to hope or confidence; I can't quite figure out what it is.What I AM clear about is that getting through my day so, so, so, so, so much easier to bear; I feel like I am gliding, not hauling myself.I am feeling so much better in just a week that I am grateful to an extent that is indescribable.It is unconscionable that the medical field is not working with this herb for patients like me. My life would have been a whole different story had I had this decades ago.I know that everyone's body is unique, so this product may/may not work for you. However, if you have insomnia, I can tell you that there may be hope for you in this product or another that you haven't found yet. ... Wishing you the best...

Came shipped in a cardboard box product with sealed product. The expiration date is 2 years from now, the dropper is glass. The taste is similar to elderberry, very tolerable when added to water.I'll be back to update once I have used this for an extended period.I will say that so far I am impressed by quality. 😁

Not a bad after taste. Better than the tea bags. It does relax you. Add a flavoring to it.

This is the second type I have tried. It is a stronger mixture and should definitely be mixed with water or such. I use it for sleep and it works for me.

Ok, it works but I purchased this one because the passionflower I normally purchase was not available- that one worked great at helping me sleep too.The taste of this is very bitter and unpleasant. I do mix it w a little water but I miss the other brand

This was suggested to me as I was having difficulty sleeping. I used it and lets just say, I do not remember much...Lol. I really don't remember dozing off, but I did sleep through the night. I did not have to use it every night, but when I've been struggling, I do use it to get me back on track.

Of the many sleep medications I've tried, this seems to help a bit. For the most part, there are so many factors in sleeping well, so this may or may nor work for you.
