What does the evidence say about these herbs?

HerbEvidenceIn short
Chamomile Tested as tea The most common calming-tea ingredient. Trials of chamomile tea are few and small, the one placebo-tea trial we found showed no anxiety benefit, and the EU herbal monograph lists no calming or sleep use at all.
Valerian root Mixed results The classic 'sleep herb', with the most trials and the least consistent results. Recent reviews find no reliable benefit for insomnia, and we found no trial of valerian tea itself.
Linden flower Traditional use only A mild, honeyed flower in many bedtime blends, including Sleepytime. The EU recognizes it for mild stress on the basis of long use, but we found no human trials.

Evidence grades describe each herb in general, not this product. No trial we know of has tested Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Extra itself. How grades work.

Who should check before drinking it?

More cautions, such as warfarin interactions and pregnancy, are on each herb’s page. Not a complete interaction check. If you take medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a pharmacist or doctor.
