This PROPHYTAMINE infusion, sold by the manufacturer under the name “Sommeil Relaxation”, is a blend of plants from organic farming: verbena (43%), rooibos (30%) and lime blossom (25%), scented with lavender essential oil. It comes in a box of 20 filter sachets of 2 g, that is 40 g in total.
What is this infusion?
Verbena is the main plant in this blend, followed by rooibos and then lime blossom, three dried plants traditionally drunk as a herbal tea. Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is a shrub from South Africa, naturally free of caffeine, just like verbena and lime blossom. The brand calls this blend “Sommeil Relaxation”; here we describe its actual composition rather than this promised effect, as European regulation does not allow health claims on a food without authorisation (Regulation EC 1924/2006).
How to prepare it?
Pour simmering water over a sachet and leave to infuse for about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the taste you want, then remove the sachet. It is drunk hot or, once cooled, over ice.
