Herbal Ingredients: ***Ashwaghanda has been utilized by many cultures for over 4000 years, and has its roots in Ayurvedic medicine. Ashwaghanda was callled the meditation rasa - named for the Vedic Rasayanas which possessed Soma, or the ambrosia of immortality. It was traditionally used to tone, strengthen, and revitalize, while simultaneously energizing and calming the body. Ashwagandha connects us with our divine dharma, or purpose, and reminds us that it is not necessary to know the full extent of our purpose and path, in order to walk it. ***Holy Basil, otherwise known as Tulsi, is an Ayurvedic herb that has been used traditionally as far back as 5000 B.C., and is known as the “Mother Medicine of Nature.” In the Vedic texts of the Bhagavad Purana, Tulsi is the embodiment of Lakshmi, the great Goddess of Wealth and Abundance. Tulsi is an herb that deeply connects us with that center point, the manifest world, between the world of Spirit and the world of Soul. The right here and now. ***Rhodiola - Otherwise known as “golden root”, Rhodiola has been used in Scandinavia and Russian traditional medicine for centuries. In Asia, it is called Plateau Ginseng, and the Tibetans consider it sacred. It is used as a tonic herb, one that the monks use to enhance both spiritual power and concentration, mental capacity and endurance. The power of Rhodiola is that of the third eye. It embodies intelligence, mastery and wisdom, and intuition above all. ***Schisandra berries, are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and are viewed as unique in that they encompass all five flavors - sweet, salty, bitter, sour and pungent - which directly signals its all-encompassing, healing nature.

It is anti-inflammatory and balances adrenal fatigue, as well as supporting the nervous system. Its energy encourages us to ground, to facilitate development of a higher consciousness. ***Skullcap is a beautiful adaptogentic herb whose name comes from the Latin scutella, or small dish or tray, which describes the shape of the calyx at the base of the flowers, which resembles a skull. It works on your emotional system, helping to ease emotional restrictions, and helps us to ground deeply into the stillness of the present moment, and assists in accepting change with ease when you are feeling exhausted, drained or depleted. It does also have the possibility to bring on late menses, so should be avoided if pregnant. ***Oatstraw is a lovely nourishing tonic for the overall nervous system, helping to calm the inflammatory stress response. ***Lemon Balm - Lemon Balm - Sweet Lemon Balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is derived from the word Melissa, which was Greek for “honeybee” and described its role in the Temples of Artemis to keep the sacred honeybees happy.

It heals our Mother wounds, especially, and most importantly, that with Mother Earth. ***Passionflower- Passionflower is a beautiful flower from Central and South America, named for the Passion of the Christ. It was also known as the ‘flower of the five wounds’, referring to Christ’s stigmata. The five petals and five sepals of the flowers represent the 10 apostles, and the circle of hairlike rays on the petals represents the crown of thorns. Passionflower has been traditionally used as a sedative and nervous system tonic, and helping with muscle spasms and pain. It is also used to cleanse the spirit, acting as a bridge to “Christ Consciousness’, a direct connection to the voice within, and encourages us to honor our intuition. ***Chamomile - Chamomile’s energy and its name refer directly to its grounding, calming energy. It’s name is derived from the Greek chamomaela, or “ground apple.” Vikings regarded Chamomile as one of the nine sacred herbs. Although its energy is very solar in nature, it carries with it the archetype of the Moon, and directly works on frayed nerves, anxiety, insomnia, digestive upset and depression. Chamomile reminds us to not project our fears onto life and others, but allow ourselves to be wrapped in a cloak of protective love, reflecting the center of innocence, warmth and light that we all carry within us.
