    Hello, I will have to try those herbal teas for sleep. I just bought some Valerian Root off a website that I wrote about on my blog. I am not sure, but can I break the valerian capsules up to use in the tea, or must I buy wholesale?

    Hello :)

    Yes, you can break up the capsules to use in the tea; however, as a rule of thumb, the dried herb is generally more effective than capsules. I have taken herbs out of valerian capsules, as well as echinacea and goldenseal, and they work fine in a pinch even if I do prefer to use dried herb that I infuse myself.

    Love and light,
