Natural sleep aids
Does anyone have something gentle they can recommend?
I'm asking for a very elderly person on blood thinners and BP meds.

Thank you. hf

Check with a doctor first, but melatonin can be gentle and effective.

Chamomile tea. Naturally caffeine-free. I usually add lemon for extra flavour and benefits.

Chamomile tea contains coumarin, which is a blood thinner, which is not a good idea for someone on blood thinner meds.

that is another thing

too much caffeine depletes magnesium

magnesium is what makes your body relax so you can enter sleep

when it is low you will notice you twitch or jerk before sleeping

if it is very low these twitches and jerks are strong enough to prevent sleep
