This concoction is the perfect alternative to ease those racing thoughts and brush away stress sitting atop your shoulders. Whether you are anxious after a presentation, wound up after sitting in traffic, or simply looking for a positive mood boost, this gentle mocktail will calm down your inner fire. It is lovely for bringing down Chi and assisting your body in transitioning through your daily circadian rhythms.
The Peaceful Easy Feeling Tincture aids digestive upset and insomnia, making it an essential ingredient for this unwinding potion. Inside, Lemon Balm assists as a gladdening herb, which helps with nervous tension, anxiety and stress. Skullcap, Lavender and Chamomile have mild sedative and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe exhaustion, excitability and anxiety. Lemon grass has similar tonic medicinal qualities as well. Ginkgo is an ancient herb that oxygenates the brain, improving memory and concentration. Similarly, Rhodiola strengthens the nervous system and enhances memory, while also fighting depression, improving energy and aiding in weight reduction. Gotu Kola rejuvenates the immune system and strengthens the adrenals.
