I have an elderly mother (91) who suffers from poor sleep pattern and is currently taking prescribed medication, which I am not happy about. I've tried over-the-counter alternatives/herbal pills but they don't seem to work for her - any suggestions.

Coming off sleep medication can be tricky, as side effects can often result. It would be useful to talk it over with her doctor to see how best to swap her from the medication to something more natural.

Dormeasan^® Valerian and Hops is a licensed remedy so you can request the technical data to show to the doctor, who is then in a position to advise on the changeover.
