Remedy

Cannot sleep, frayed nerves

Lemon balm, chamomile, catnip, and the wood stove turned down. Darkness is the other herb.

A person who cannot wake, or a sudden personality change after a head hit, is not a tea problem.

Do this

  1. 1.A cup of lemon balm or chamomile an hour before bed.
  2. 2.Catnip if they are wound up and feverish.
  3. 3.No more coffee after noon — including strong black tea.
  4. 4.Warm feet. A dark room. This is not weakness.

Recipes

Chamomile or catnip rest tea

Evening cup for a crampy belly or a person who cannot come down from the day.
