DreamEasy contains the active ingredients: Sour Jujube, Fleeceflower Vine, China Root, Arbor-Vitae Seed, Mimosa Tree Flower and Licorice Root.

DreamEasy uses many elements that are not commonly used in holistically based sleep aids, and that may have very little use in this area. For instance, China root is also known as Wild yam, which has historically been used as an anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic. It is most well known as a method to ease dysmenorrhoea, as well as to alleviate ovarian and uterine pain. Its anti-inflammatory properties have been shown to ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. China root does not have a history as a sleep inducer, nor has it been proven by modern research to promote sleep.

Licorice Root has been used extensively in both folk and traditional Chinese medicine to ease bronchitis, coughs, stomach problems and ulcers. However, it has not been traditionally used as a sleep aid. Also, Arbor-Vitae Seed has been used in Chinese medicine as a method to alleviate constipation and night sweats. While it may have some calming effects, its main application has not been proven to address the underlying causes of insomnia.

DreamEasy uses some benign elements that have not been shown to directly promote sleep. The product uses rather substandard sleep aids, or elements not geared toward addressing insomnia. Overall, we would have liked to see Melatonin included in the formula, as this element has been shown to significantly increase sleep.

Melatonin has such an effect because it is a hormone naturally generated by the body that plays a vital role in regulating sleep. Age and stress can cause a reduction in Melatonin production, which in turn can cause sleeplessness. Holistic supplementation with Melatonin has been shown to increase a user’s ability to achieve a deep and satisfying sleep.

DreamEasy has a catchy name that invokes images of sweet dreams and a good night sleep; however, we do not believe this formula has the ability to create the kind of sleep consumers expect from a sleep aid.

As noted earlier, we consider Melatonin a far better choice in relieving sleeplessness. Melatonin also works exceptionally well with Lemon Balm Extract, an herbal sedative shown in several research studies to calm the restlessness and tenseness associated with sleeplessness. Lemon Balm is so effective that it was used to successfully relax Alzheimer’s patients, a feat that is notoriously difficult to accomplish because of the effects of the disease. We strongly suggest using a combination of Melatonin and Lemon Balm Extract, which has been shown to be an optimal method of increasing sleep naturally.
