Let’s dive into the correlation between 🍒 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 & 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬. A LOT of you have been asking about this lately! Let’s dive in! 🫶🏽
💬 “Why am I having crazy, wild dreams when I take the Tart Cherry sleep support?!”
The answer? 👉🏽 Valerian root!
🌿 This herb can help promote relaxation & improve the quality of sleep, which is why we included it within our Tart Cherry formula!!
🗓️ It has been used for centuries by many different tribes & cultures to help naturally induce sleep. This herb works by increasing ⬆️ levels of (GABA) in the brain. 🧠 This neurotransmitter regulates slumber/relaxation and promotes a calming effect on the nervous system. 😌
🚨 Here’s the crazy part! Dreams are an IMPORTANT part of sleep. They help your brain process information and sort through memories/traumas. Dreams can also be a way for your subconscious to work through problems or issues you're dealing with in your waking life. AKA 👉🏽 fear, anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, etc.
💭 We’ve had several customers reach out and tell us that they’ve experienced some super heavy dreams that often bring up past traumas or childhood memories. This is crazy because this is exactly how this herb works! 🤯🤯🤯
So many want to just stop taking the Tart Cherry when these crazy dreams show up, but I’m here to encourage you to ✨embrace the process!✨
Here’s why: ➡️ Studies show that unprocessed trauma can get stored in our bodily tissues & organs. This will show up overtime looking like ❗️chronic pain, disease, unwanted weight gain, emotional issues, & so much more!
Processing the hard stuff is so good for your overall health, & that is why we needed to discuss this topic today! I don’t want any misunderstandings causing anyone to stop taking this supplement. I always want you to feel supported! ❤️
🛌 When taken before bed, valerian root helps to relax the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep. Once asleep, the body enters into a state known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It is during REM sleep that our bodies can repair and regenerate cells.
👆🏽It is also during REM sleep that we experience most of our dreams. 😴💭 By ingesting valerian root before bed, you are increasing your chances of entering into REM sleep which increases your chance of having a vivid/memorable dream that you can later recall upon waking up.
✨FUN FACT✨
Our Recovery EO blend has Valerian oil in it as well, & helps encourage the release of negative emotions & trauma. Diffusing this blend at night while you sleep after taking Tart Cherry could potentially be a VERY powerful combination if you’re needing to work through/recover from any type of trauma!

🫶🏽 This information is dense, I know! But it’s important that we talk about all aspects of our health- even the emotional aspects some of these natural ingredients can bring to the surface.
I hope this information helps anyone who has experienced vivid or lucid dreams after taking Tart Cherry and maybe even answered a few questions as to why you’ve had the dreams you’ve had! 🤯 This information was just too good not to share!
Tart Cherry Sleep Support helps regulate the circadian sleep rhythms, which helps with the overall function & balance of the melatonin hormone, vs a melatonin supplement, which suppresses melatonin production & function. If you’re needing some extra support at night now that school is starting, give our 🍒 Tart Cherry Sleep Support a shot!
