The sleep oxymel dose is 1 to 2 teaspoons in water before bed, with a maximum of 2 teaspoons. Lemon balm contains rosmarinic acid and is associated with a tradition of use for nighttime anxiety. Valerenic acid from valerian is described as acting on GABA-A receptors without addiction, tolerance, or morning sedation. Chamomile contains apigenin, which a cited rodent study found binds to benzodiazepine receptors. The sleep oxymel combines valerian root, chamomile flowers, and lemon balm. The sleep oxymel should not be combined with prescription sleep medication.
