These natural remedies are gaining traction among customers who are looking for safe and effective solutions to their sleep problems. The market is witnessing an increase in the availability and variety of herbal sleep aids, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of customers. Another trend in the market is the rising demand for sleep aids that promote relaxation and stress relief.
