Babuna contains an extract, which is derived from Matricaria recutita, which is most commonly known as German Chamomile.

The German Chamomile used in this formula is purported to be “more effective than any other chamomile product available”, and is advertised as being able to regulate serotonin, “to slow down nerve traffic and induce normal sleep”. However, we fail to see the link between Chamomile and serotonin regulation. This is not one of its known abilities. Chamomile has traditionally been used as calmative, as well as to aid those who are dealing with cardiovascular problems, colds, wound issues, cystitis, colic, stomach problems, diarrhea (especially in children), eczema and even hemorrhoids.

Chamomile is often promoted as having sedative like abilities, however, its abilities to relax users is rather low key, and is in no way geared toward easing sleep issues such as Insomnia. It has traditionally been used in aromatherapy to alleviate Insomnia, and here too its abilities have fallen short. Clearly more studies need to be conducted on this particular element. Insomnia is a serious issue, and it often takes a more effective herbal sedative to be able to effectively win the war on sleeplessness.

One herbal sedative that has been shown to be extremely effective in reducing sleeplessness is Lemon Balm Extract, which has a long history as being used as a natural sedative, which helps users achieve a relaxed state of mind and body. In fact this extract was used in a clinical trial, which showed that users reported getting some extreme relief from insomnia. Clearly Lemon Balm Extract is a sleep aid that really works, and when its abilities are held up against those of Chamomile extract- Lemon Balm Extract is the far better choice. It is unfortunate that this developer did not see fit to include it in this formulary.

• May be helpful with some issues such as diarrhea and hemorrhoids, as well as others

• Not an effective herbal sedative
• Not really geared toward addressing insomnia

Babuna Sleep may well be helpful in aiding some health related issues. However, since it seems to only use Chamomile, there a few things to consider. For instance, this herbal element is not really a true herbal sedative, and may not be effective for those who are wrestling with insomnia regardless of what the manufacturer suggests. Chamomile does have some mildly relaxing abilities, but they are no where near what is required to address real sleep issues.

As mentioned above, those who are interested in getting a good night sleep naturally, may what to investigate holistically based nutritional supplements that contain Lemon Balm Extract and Melatonin. These two elements can really provide consumers with real results that they will feel in the morning when they wake up refreshed and revitalized from a good nights sleep.
