Flora-Sleep
Quiescent flowers for restful repose and rejuvenation


Primary Indications:
* Promotes deep relaxation in order to facilitate falling asleep and staying asleep
* Encourages more restful, undisturbed sleep so that one awakes feeling refreshed
* Helps the soul more fully release from the body while sleeping, in order to experience dreams and related spiritual information
* Can be used topically to help calm specific energy centers (according to each individual’s need) that are too awake in the evening. Typical applications include: the third eye, left and right temples of the forehead, the heart center and the solar plexus (stomach region)
* Facilitates recognition and release of chronic mental and emotional patterns that hinder rest and sleep, including specific sources of stress, anxiety, emotional upset or worry about the future
* A beneficial travel remedy when the body needs to set a new internal clock for sleep. Take at least two doses one or two hours before sleep and one further dose just prior to sleep
* A beneficial night-time formula for children who are prone to nightmares, fitful sleep or other sleep disturbances
* A good remedy for animals who have disturbed or agitated sleep, or who need to develop more consistent sleep patterns in harmony with their households
