مسحوق مولونغو

I've tried a few evening herbs and this one actually quiets my mind instead of just making me groggy. A level teaspoon in warm water about an hour before bed has become my signal that the day is over. The powder is finely milled, though it settles fast so give it a quick stir before drinking.

I mix a spoonful into warm water about an hour before bed and the stillness that settles in is unlike anything else I've tried. The earthy taste takes some getting used to, but the calm it brings is worth it.

The powder dissolves pretty easily in warm water, which I wasn't expecting for a dried herb. I take it maybe 40 minutes before bed and the wind-down feels gentler than the melatonin I used to rely on.
