Can’t sleep? Dormeasan Valerian Hops herbal sleep remedies – for better sleep

Dormeasan^® Valerian-Hops oral drops

• Herbal sleep remedy
• Helps restore natural sleep
• Valerian tincture and hops tincture
• Fresh herb extract

Dormeasan is a herbal sleep remedy made from extracts of freshly harvested, organically grown Valerian root and Hops.

Dormeasan is not a ‘sleeping pill’. It is a herbal sleeping aid and won’t normally leave you feeling groggy in the morning. Unlike many sleep remedies, Dormeasan is available in the form of a liquid herbal tincture. Taken just half an hour before bed-time, it can help if you worry that you can't sleep - encouraging a more natural sleep, helping you sleep better and wake feeling refreshed.

At A.Vogel, we insist that only freshly picked Valerian root and Hops plants are used to make Dormeasan. This ensures that the herb extracts obtained provide the active* ingredients that encourage undisturbed sleep. For more information on why we prefer to use fresh herbs in our herbal remedies, look for The A.Vogel fresh herb story.
