Catnip
Catnip is well known for its gentle and calming properties. It has been employed in traditional western folk practices for centuries as a calming agent for body and mind. Catnip is one of the best cooling and relaxing herbs. It's very effective for anxiety or nervousness and is known to be both a nervine and sedative. It can help sooth over-excitement and works great as a sleeping sedative. Catnip was part of American folk medicine and Native American healing systems and employed as a gentle tea for children in cases of occasional upset stomach or sleeplessness.
Lemon Verbena
Lemon verbena tea is effective in reducing nervous tension, stress and anxiety, meaning that a cup before bedtime could be a good way to banish any sleep-depriving negative thoughts. Lemon verbena has been used as a medicinal plant for centuries as a sedative. Lemon Verbena contains hastatosides and verbenalin - volatile oils known as "monoterpenoids". They can aid insomnia by activating the GABA system. GABA is a brain chemical that switches off the transmission of nerve signals, helping to calm the mind and nervous system in readiness for sleep.
Mullein

Experts believe that this tea contains a chemical that serves as a natural sedative and aids in sleep induction.
