Mild sedative

Mild sedative herbs are traditionally used in Western herbalism to encourage gentle relaxation and support restful states, particularly during periods of tension or over-stimulation. These herbs are generally valued for their subtle, calming nature rather than strong sedative action and are often prepared as teas, tinctures, or extracts for traditional, non-medical use. This category groups herbs by their historically mild, soothing character rather than by medical purpose.
