There are close to 400,000 species of plants across the globe. It’s no surprise that herbal medicine has flourished in many corners of the world throughout the ages, considering the amount of flora available. You may be familiar with some natural sleep remedies like Valerian<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Lavender<\/a>;\u00a0and even the North American native Passionflower<\/a>,\u00a0which has been included in the formulations of several all-natural sleep aids\u00a0that have come out in recent years. However, there will always be plants that you won’t have heard of due to cultural or locational barriers. Some, as you will find below, may\u00a0be not completely unknown, but not typically thought of as a way to treat sleep problems.<\/p>\n We’ve compiled a short list of exotic—or otherwise unfamiliar—plants that have long been used medicinally in their locales, though not always for sleep.\u00a0We’ve seen them all in various sleep aid formulations, though! You can find them in dietary supplements, tea blends, and sometimes even in single-ingredient tinctures or powders.\u00a0As with prescription sleep aids, please don\u2019t take any of these remedies with alcohol and don\u2019t operate machinery after dosing.<\/p>\n And it bears repeating: Always consult your doctor before trying these remedies\u2013particularly if they are to be administered to children, women who are pregnant or nursing, or those prone to liver problems. Just because something is natural doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s automatically good for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n#1 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)<\/h2>\n
