Nervous System

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to stress. This herb can be particularly helpful for those who struggle with sleep due to anxiety or stress. It’s available in various forms, including dried root, powder, capsules and teas. Regular use of Ashwagandha may support better sleep by lowering cortisol levels and promoting a sense of calm and promotes a sound sleep. It's not a quick fix but is great to add to your daily routine if you are having sleep issues.

California Poppy has a reputation of being a milder, non-addictive alternative to other poppies, and can be used for insomnia. California Poppy is also a useful pain relieving herb, particularly in cases of nerve-generated pain such as sciatica, neuralgia and migraine. If you are experiencing trouble sleeping due to pain, this is definitely a herb to try! When used as a tea before bed, California Poppy promotes a long, restful sleep. Sometimes it can be so effective that we recommend being in bed before taking it – the drowsiness can set in very quickly!
PRO TIP: It’s also quite bitter as a tea, so we recommend trying our California Poppy extract Mellow Yellow.
