A Vogel Dormeasan 50ml

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 bedtime, 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.

The use of fresh herbs gives Dormeasan^® tincture a stronger taste and smell because it has not lost its volatile oils. Some people may prefer to take Dormeasan^® diluted in fruit juice, rather in water.

1ml of Dormeasan^® oral liquid (equivalent to 35 drops) contains:

• Valerian root tincture 0.5ml (Valeriana officinalis L.) (1:10-11) Extraction solvent: ethanol 58%v/v
• Hops strobile tincture 0.5ml (Humulus lupulus L.) (1:12-13) Extraction solvent: ethanol 65% v/v

Other ingredients used are ethanol and water.
