Eden's Deep Rest Liquid Extract

How To Take It

Shake well before each use. Settling at the bottom of the bottle is normal.

Standard Dose:

• Take 30 drops (2ml or approximately 1 dropperful) in 4oz water, juice, or tea.

• You may increase the dose up to 40 drops if needed. Start at 30 drops and adjust based on your experience.

• Try sublingual dosing for faster absorption. Hold under the tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. This increases bioavailability, and the effect will be felt sooner. The flavor will be strong.

When To Take It

Timing Matters:

• For best results, take 30-60 minutes before bed, at the same time each evening, to support your body's natural sleep rhythm.

  • Taking it before you begin winding down allows the herbs to work with your body's natural sleep preparation rather than against a nervous system already in wind-down mode.

For Longstanding Sleep Difficulties and an Overactive Mind at Bedtime:

• Take your extract 30-60 minutes before bed and commit to consistent daily use. For those who have struggled with sleep for a long time, the shift is cumulative rather than immediate. The herbs build on one another with each passing day, and the most significant changes emerge through patience and consistency. Give it a full bottle of consistent daily use before evaluating results. A few slow breaths and a few minutes of stillness after your dose help create the conditions for the herbs to work.

For Waking During Sleep:

• Keep your extract on your nightstand. A second, smaller dose of 15-20 drops upon waking can help you fall back asleep. This is one of the few scenarios in which an additional dose outside your regular timing is appropriate. This should decrease with consistent use.

For Burnout and Deep Nervous System Depletion:

• Commit to daily use for a minimum of 6-8 weeks before fully evaluating results. When the nervous system has been under sustained stress for a long time, disrupted sleep is not a surface-level problem. The herbs in this formula work gradually at the tissue and hormonal level, supporting the kind of recovery that consistently poor sleep makes difficult to achieve on its own.

Safe for Long-Term Use

• Deep Rest Extract is designed for ongoing nightly use throughout sleep restoration and beyond. These herbs work with your body's own sleep processes rather than overriding them, supporting a more natural quality of rest that builds gradually and sustainably with consistent use.

Tips Worth Knowing for Liquid Extracts

• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve potency.

• The taste of a well-made herbal extract is part of its experience. Bitter, earthy, and complex flavors signal the activation of digestive and nervous system receptors that begin working on contact.

• If the flavor is too strong, dilute in 2-4 oz of water or juice. Avoid hot liquids, as heat can degrade some constituents.

• Liquid extracts are significantly more bioavailable than dried herb teas. A smaller amount of plant material delivers a higher concentration per dose.

• As with most herbal formulas used long-term, periodic breaks are recommended as good practice. After 3 months of consistent daily use, consider taking a 1-2-week break before continuing. This supports your body's responsiveness to the herbs over time. Consult your practitioner for personalized cycling guidance.

Considerations

• This extract contains alcohol.

  • Each 2 ml serving contains a small amount, comparable to a few drops of vanilla extract. If you are sensitive to alcohol, you may add your dose to 4 oz of warm water and allow it to sit briefly before drinking, which allows some of the alcohol to dissipate.

• This formula is not for use during pregnancy or lactation without guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.

• Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are currently taking medications for anxiety, depression, insomnia, blood pressure, blood sugar, or thyroid conditions, or any sedative or sleep medications. Some herbs in this formula may interact with these medications.

• Do not use with autoimmune conditions without qualified practitioner supervision.

• Discontinue 2 weeks before any scheduled surgical procedure.

• Not recommended for children under 18 without guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.
