Deep Dreams Tea
Calm Down tea is the tried and true ally tea we all need for stressful days. Formulated to gently support our nervous and stress response system, it is a delicious and effective herbal tea blend to enjoy any time of day or night. Motherwort has an affinity for calming the heart, especially for those who feel stress as rapid heart beats or fear. Lavender, with it’s familiar sweetness, offsets the bitterness of motherwort. Skullcap calms and supports the nervous system, especially for those who feel stress as tightness in their upper body and shoulders. And Marshmallow soothes our digestion and sweetens our disposition. Together, this blend is a winning calm down formula, best sipped throughout the day whether or not stress is present! Energetics: Cooling & calming.
Deep Dreams tea is made for you to incorporate into your night time routine to allow the body to relax, wind down, and settle into deep sleep and wondrous dreams. Ashwagandha supports our stress response and adds strength and vitality to our body. Chamomile relaxes the nervous system and eases digestion while sleeping. Passionflower supports a calm and clear mind as we wind down for sleep. Mugwort encourages vivid dreams. And lavender offers a gentle sweetness (and calming spirit) to offset the bitterness of mugwort. Together, this is a synergistic blend of classic herbal sleep aids to help you fall and stay asleep. Energetics: Warming and soothing.
