Reishi Mushroom Capsules

Reishi is revered as a nerve tonic and adaptogen. When the body is emotionally and mentally taxed, it releases cortisol to cushion the impact of stress. Reishi can regulate cortisol levels, creating a more balanced nervous system that is resilient to stress (1). Our Reishi Mushroom Capsules make it easy to get grounded on the go, with 100% fruiting body Reishi at an extract ratio of 12:1.

Golden Mylk Elixir

Guide the body into a state of rest and digest with our comforting and restorative Golden Mylk Elixir. This blend features warming spices, ashwagandha, and turkey tail mushroom. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps to regulate stress response and soothe anxiety (2). Turkey Tail contains prebiotic properties that feed good bacteria and promote balance within the gut microbiome (3).

Dream Artisan Tea

Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for the body’s restorative processes and this loose-leaf tea blend is crafted to provide the perfect herbal lullaby. Chamomile promotes relaxation and significantly improves sleep quality (4). Passionflower has been shown to be very effective for soothing General Anxiety Disorder (5). Skullcap relaxes tense muscles, settles an overstimulated sensory system, and eases irritated mental states (6). Sip on our Dream Artisan Tea before bed and let these herbs carry you off to dreamland.

Uplifted Spirits Tincture Blend

Uplifted Spirits is crafted with herbs that work to relieve emotional distress, cultivate mental and emotional balance, and calm an overactive nervous system. Rosemary increases neurotransmitter levels, including dopamine, serotonin, and GABA (7). The iodine in bladderwrack helps to combat fatigue, weakness, depression and overall lethargy (8). Eleuthero stimulates the release of acetylcholine, helping to moderate motivation, attention, and deep, restful sleep (9).

Lemon Balm Single Tincture

Lemon Balm is a gentle herb shown to calm anxiety and relieve depression (10). This plant ally is a nervine herb, providing calming support for the nervous system. In traditional healing systems, lemon balm is used to nourish the soul and help to rebuild a healthy outlook on life. Our Lemon Balm Single Tincture is crafted with organic lemon balm and organic cane alcohol for a potent, bioavailable boost to the spirit.
