Chill Out Tincture 2 oz.

This is my adaptogenic blend of herbs. Adaptogens are an herbal class that work over time help the body adapt to environmental, physical and mental stressors. I think all of us can relate to needing a little of this in our lives. In order for adaptogens to work, it benefits us to take at least two at a time. For this blend, I decided on three of my favorites. Chamomile, Tulsi Basil (holy basil) and Lemon Balm. Not only do these all act to calm our bodies in the short and long term, they are delightfully aromatic and delicate. Almost as if they are tucking us in on the couch with a nice cup of tea and honey. Adaptogens work best when taken regularly and benefits are detectible on a larger scale at around six weeks. For those of us used to quick fixes, this creates an opportunity to dedicate a practice to yourself. Perhaps when beginning this tincture protocol, you also start a short daily meditation practice as a gift to yourself. In this way, we can begin to slow down and understand that all nature takes its time, alchemy takes time, and most of all, everything precious cannot be rushed.
