A. Vogel Dormeasan Valerian-Hops oral drops 15ml

Below are the 4 most common ‘sleep problems’ encountered by our helpline, and how Dormeasan® can help.

1. I can’t get to sleep easily

I have trouble dropping off to sleep. I toss and turn until I finally doze off at 3 or 4 in the morning.

What you can try: 
Take 30 drops of Dormeasan® 30 minutes before going to bed.

2. My sleep is interrupted

I fall asleep easily but wake several times through the night. This makes me feel tired and anxious during the day and exhausted when evening comes.

What you can try:  
Take 10 to 20 drops of Dormeasan® once or twice during the day to help ease symptoms of anxiety – this will also help aid sleep when you retire. If you wake up in the middle of the night, take 30 drops of Dormeasan®.

3. I can’t sleep when on holiday (or when working shifts)

I don’t normally have trouble sleeping, but travelling can make me anxious and I find that my sleep can be disturbed when away on holiday or when the clock changes. I have the same problem when working shifts.

What you can try:    
Take 30 drops of Dormeasan® 30 minutes before retiring to bed while you settle into these changes. Having a bottle of Dormeasan® handy in these circumstances means that you can be ready to act if you have trouble sleeping.

4. I have tried other remedies to help me sleep better

I am a light sleeper, waking up several times a night. I have tried other remedies in tablet form. These have worked to a certain extent but I would like to try something else.

What you can try:    
Fresh herb extracts such as Dormeasan® are liquid herbal medicines made from freshly harvested herbs and can contain higher amounts of active substances(*).

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.
