TRUE SLEEP — Sleep Herbal Blend

Sleep Herbs Tested Against a Leading Prescription Sleep Aid.

Herbs Held Their Own — Week One, People taking herbs slept longer.  Week 2 – Statistically equal. (still 15 minutes longer than Ambien)

A randomized, double-blind clinical trial pitted this herbal combination against a 10mg dose of a top prescription sleep medication. Two weeks later, both groups were sleeping significantly better — and at the one-week mark, the herbal group was actually sleeping longer.


You’ve tried melatonin. You’ve tried the sleep hygiene checklist –

 — no screens, cool room, same bedtime every night. Maybe you’ve even filled a prescription, and it worked, until the groggy mornings and the worry about relying on it started to outweigh the sleep itself.

Here’s the frustrating part: most “natural” sleep aids on the market were never actually tested against anything. They’re a story on a label. You take them on faith.

This one wasn’t. It was tested against the real thing.


THE STUDY

Researchers ran a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial comparing a standardized herbal formula — valerian root, passionflower, and hops — directly against zolpidem (the active ingredient in a leading prescription sleep medication), one tablet of each, nightly, for two weeks.

91 people with diagnosed insomnia enrolled. 78 completed the full two weeks. Here’s what the data showed:

Total sleep time:

Herbal formula Prescription (zolpidem/Ambien)
Before treatment 3 Hrs 26 min  3 Hrs 31 min
After 1 week 5 Hrs 51 min  5 Hrs 23 min (herbal group slept 28 min longer — statistically significant)
After 2 weeks 5 Hrs 56 min  5 Hrs 40 min (both groups improved similarly by this point)

Insomnia severity and nighttime awakenings improved at essentially the same rate in both groups across the full two weeks — meaning the herbal group got the same relief from a formula you can buy without a prescription.

Both formulas produced mild, comparable side effects (drowsiness being the most common in both groups) — no serious adverse events in either arm.

FAQ

“Is this the exact formula from the study?” We use the same three herbs plus Poppy, Kava, and Lavender.

“Is it safe to take with medication?” No interactions are documented. Valerian, passionflower, and hops can interact with other sedatives, alcohol, and certain medications. Talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you’re currently taking a sleep medication or plan to stop one.

“Will I feel groggy in the morning?” In the study, daytime sleepiness scores didn’t change significantly in either group over the two weeks. Some users report mild drowsiness, most commonly the first few nights.

“How is this different from melatonin?” Melatonin resets your sleep-wake timing. This formula works more like a calming/sedative approach — closer to what a prescription sleep aid does, which is why it was tested against one instead of a timing supplement.

No Science?! Except this Science.

Real Doctors are Real Hard on Nature

They say my Medicine is unscientific.  So let’s see about that.

They say my Medicine is dangerous and causes harm.

A trip down memory lane reveals…

Calm Feminine Vitality

Vitality: Strong and Active, Full of Energy

Feminine:  In Eastern medicine Feminine is an energy called Yin, which represents care taking, uplifting, meeting needs, the greater good, nobody left behind and Love, not war.

Feminine Values.

DrStone as Esther, his Feminine half

The Feminine is the more sensitive, nurturing, and intuitive energy.  The feminine can see things up ahead, almost predict the future, and guide the masculine in a more peaceful direction.  If they listen!

The Feminine can see all perspectives, and treats all people like Gifts from God.

The Feminine insist that the only reason for battle is if your survival is threatened or your boundaries invaded.

In Native American and traditional Eastern cultures the Masculine served Feminine Values.  Fought for Feminine Values, if there was no other choice.

This is Vitality for the Feminine.  And the strength to remain calm, and insist that nobody will be made to feel less than or inferior to a Man.  No innocence will be lost.  No child will be made to feel bad.

Calm Feminine Vitality.

This medicine had very little scientific backing, because cultures led by feminine values can trust their predecessors, and thousands of years of healers told their students, that this is the medicine to give the Feminine… Calm Vitality.  And they trusted.  But in the last 10 years, the healers, influenced by Western Medicine, have put their traditional Medicines to the test.

Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs).  A group of people are given the medicine, compared with a group of people who are given nothing.  A Placebo.  Neither the patient nor the doctor know which patients received the medicine.  Double Blind.  Then after a specified period of time, tests are measured and patients report to the doctors.  After seeing the results, they learn who received the medicine and who received nothing.

The people who received Calm Feminine Vitality reported improved energy and focus, increased strength and muscle mass, significantly improved satisfaction and happiness with life, including sexual satisfaction and desire.

The people who received Calm Feminine Vitality reported significantly more Calm while enduring stressful situations.  Fewer “mistakes.”  And less irritability.

The doctors who examined the people taking Calm Feminine Vitality reported decreases in inflammation, cholesterol, blood sugar, improvement in body composition, increased thyroid production.  With side effects comparable to Placebo.

That means that this medicine is no more dangerous than nothing.  But some people get stomach aches and headaches regardless of what they take and report that to the doctor.  NO serious side effects.  At all.

Are you interested in Medicine, made by God, and tinctured by healers, that is proven to give the Feminine, Calm Vitality?  These are the plant Medicines that make up Calm Feminine Vitality.

(13)  But for “normal” stress and life, Calm Feminine Vitality will suffice to keep you mood and spirits UP in a hard masculine world!

Eleuthero: Although technically not a Ginseng relative, it is often referred to as Siberian Ginseng, for its similar Adaptogenic qualities, which means adapt to stressful conditions.  Women who took Eleuthero reported greater ability to focus and made fewer mistakes.  It improves endurance and sports performance.  It boosts the immune system and decreases swelling and edema by activating the lymphatic system.

Eleuthero significantly improved the symptoms of “burnout” which might also be called adrenal fatigue, but the researchers called it burnout.  And if you need a drink or six, well, it significantly reduced the intensity of hangover after binge drinking! (14)

Endometriosis, PID, Uterine Fibroids Natural Treatment

Natural Support for Fibroids, Endometriosis, and Pelvic Inflammatory Patterns

Women seeking care for uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory conditions are often caught in a painful paradox.

They are looking for relief, yet many conventional treatment options carry significant risks—including hormonal disruption, surgical complications, and potential loss of fertility. For women hoping to preserve or restore reproductive health, this can feel devastating.

Modern medicine continues to search for safer, more effective solutions. Interestingly, some of the most promising approaches come not from new inventions—but from ancient medical systems now being studied with modern research methods.


What the Research Acknowledges

Uterine fibroids are among the most common benign tumors in women of reproductive age, affecting an estimated 20–40% of women. While many fibroids are asymptomatic, others can contribute to:

  • heavy or irregular bleeding

  • pelvic pain and pressure

  • infertility

  • miscarriage

  • pelvic inflammatory patterns

Conventional treatments often include surgery or medications designed to suppress hormone production. These approaches may reduce symptoms, but they also carry risks and are not appropriate for every woman—particularly those who wish to avoid surgery or preserve fertility.

As some researchers have noted, safer and more sustainable therapies are still needed.


A Traditional Formula Studied with Modern Methods

One such therapy is Guizhi Fuling Wan (GZFL), a well-known traditional Chinese herbal formula consisting of five plants:

  • White Peony

  • Tree Peony (Cortex Moutan)

  • Cinnamon twig

  • Poria mushroom

  • Peach kernel (Semen Persicae)

This formula was first recorded nearly 1,800 years ago in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet, a foundational Chinese medical text. It has been used continuously for gynecological conditions involving blood stasis, pain, and mass formation.

In recent decades, GZFL has been examined in numerous clinical and experimental studies, exploring its effects on uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and related inflammatory processes.


What Studies Suggest

Clinical research has reported that GZFL may:

  • reduce fibroid-related symptoms such as pain and abnormal bleeding

  • contribute to measurable reductions in fibroid size

  • improve pelvic circulation and inflammatory balance

  • support immune regulation

More than 20 published clinical trials have explored GZFL’s role in fibroid management. In China, it is considered a standard, non-surgical option within integrative gynecologic care.

Experimental studies have also investigated mechanisms such as:

  • inhibition of abnormal cell proliferation

  • clearance of damaged tissue

  • regulation of inflammatory signaling

These findings help explain why the formula has been used for centuries—not as a suppressant, but as a restorative approach.


Endometriosis: Expanding the Formula

When additional herbs—such as Ginseng, Ligusticum, and Rhubarb—are added to the base formula, clinical studies have reported meaningful improvement in endometriosis symptoms.

Research has described:

  • high response rates in mild to moderate cases

  • notable improvement even in some severe cases

These findings are significant, especially considering how often endometriosis is described as “progressive” or “surgical only” in conventional settings.


A Different Philosophy of Care

Modern approaches often aim to remove or suppress symptoms.

Traditional systems aim to restore circulation, resolve stagnation, and support healthy tissue function—allowing the body to reorganize itself.

This is not a rejection of modern medicine.
It is an expansion of options.

For many women, beginning with a gentler, fertility-preserving approach makes sense before escalating to irreversible interventions.


Beyond Herbs: Supporting the Whole System

In my practice, plant medicine is rarely used alone.

It is paired with:

  • acupressure and body-based regulation

  • stress and boundary support

  • digestive and immune balancing

  • education that restores trust in the body

If you’re not ready for herbs, I offer free acupressure resources to help relieve pelvic pain and tension—simply through gentle pressure, tapping, or massage.

Healing does not have to be forced.
Often, it begins by listening.
