Blue Vervain Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract, Organic Blue Vervain (Verbena Hastata) Dried Above-Ground Parts Glycerite Hawaii Pharm Natural Herbal Supplement 2 oz

Vervain can taste downright dreadful if made into a tea (and I imagine an alcohol based tincture would be equally gross.) Hawaiian Pharm makes great quality tinctures and their vervain does not disappoint. They glycerine base makes the taste tolerable, if not pleasant. Held sublingually and in about 15 minutes, I'm no longer clenching my jaw, anxious, or wishing for an adult beverage while watching the kids run feral around our house. There is no "high" feeling for me, just a sense of calm. I have found I get more restful sleep as well after taking this (not every night.) I recommend vervain, especially this particular product to any of my friends or family that mention anxiety or sleep difficulties. I've made believers of most of them as well.

Capsules are probably better but great product and potency.

I purchased this for a uterine cleanse (fertility boost/post-miscarriage) based on Dr. Deardruff's Taming the Dragon and Inner Transformations books. They suggest 10ml/day in a glass of water for 3 days then wait a week and repeat a few times. It's a bit bitter (as it's supposed to be) but I tolerated it easily. Sorry for the guys but... "Aunt Flo" was heavy but shorter than normal first cycle. Might come back and add more if anything else exciting/related comes up. Purchased a 2nd bottle for a friend doing the same.

Well, well, well...you're in for a treat with this Blue Vervain.I've now tried 3 different brands/manufacturers of this concentrated extract (same ratios). This HawaiiPharm one works for me.First off, shake well before filling the dropper! I failed to do so and I was "herbally stoned" for over 5 hours (yes, I made up that word LOL). I was giddy inside with a constant smile on my face.Since then, it works like it was designed: to calm the heck down via nervous system.But here's how it specifically worked for me within 20min: everything continues as usual (my perception of reality, my rambling thoughts, my anticipatory trauma triggers, mounting pressures, etc), but my spiraling anxiety attacks never crossed the threshold. Many of you can relate to this. I could feel my 'normal' anxiety and tensing nerves, but it never took off. It just sat there, inside of me....like there was a mediator giving me the option to choose what to do in that moment.I've been bound to C-PTSD for 12yrs now, and have tried nearly everything to assist symptomatically. This Blue Vervain is the first time my triggered panic/anxiety didn't take off on its own. It literally gave me a choice on how I wanted to deal with/respond.It feels similar to the high doses of Ashwagandha I used to take in order to quit smoking cigarettes. A large internal pause to habitual responses, lending me the option to choose differently.Anyhow, hope this explanation helps someone.

This might be more ideal for youth in its potency. I usually give my hubby another brand and we found that we needed to use 3x of this product to equal the effects of the other brand we use. It is certainly very gentle on the system, but we had to use so much more and that was a dealbreaker

It has helped with sleep without side effects

Woah. This stuff is awesome. If you deal with anxiety and agitation in high degrees, even to the point of being debilitating, where you almost don't even recognize yourself, then this stuff is for you. It's like putting a drop or 2 of liquid valium under your tongue. No, I'm not exaggerating. I don't recommend putting 30 drops in water like it says to do. That's just a waste and far more then you need. Just put a drop or 2 under your tongue. You'll be chillin and rid of your horrendous anxiety within a few minutes.

I have been suffering from prostatitis for many years and have tried almost everything under the sun. This is the only thing that has relieved my symptoms. I take 1 full dropper with 4 oz of water 2X day-when I wake up and before I go to bed. I am glad this product is alcohol free because it is a major irritant to me.
