This sweet dreams tea recipe is made from fresh garden herbs and flowers, though dried can be a substitute. We recommend using whole bud dried flowers from a local health food shop and substituting fresh whenever possible. Whole bud chamomile really does make a difference compared to teabag chamomile. A deep calming feeling and uninterrupted, restful sleep are often reported when drinking whole bud chamomile tea. See if it works for you!
