The Allstar Plant Lineup: The Ingredients
Ashwagandha also known as Withania Somnifera has been toted as giving you the strength and vitality of a horse! It is traditionally used to strengthen and nourish the central nervous system. Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, which means that it helps the body adapt to and regulate stress in a healthier way. This can be especially helpful for those who experience anxiety-related disorders, even more so if it interferes with sleep.
Skullcap is a well-known relaxant, called a sedative. Sedative herbs work with adaptogenic herbs, like ashwagandha to help soothe nerves, anxiety, and insomnia. They also have a tendency to make you sleepy. This is why this formula is best used at the end of your day.
Chamomile, The Sleepy Time Icon! Chamomile is classified as a nervine and digestive herb. Nervines work to calm and soothe the nervous system and are usually okay to consume throughout the day. Because of their balancing qualities, they work as a bridge between Adaptogens and Sedative herbs.
Catnip is used as a relaxant and bitter herb in this formula. Bitter herbs work to stimulate the digestive system. When it comes to tea blends, at least 1 digestive herb is needed to activate the digestive system so that it can prepare the body to utilize the healing properties of the herbs. Catnip doubles as both a relaxing herb and a digestive, giving you all the hypnotic vibes that kitties love so much!
Spearmint + Peppermint are heart-healthy digestive herbs that invigorate the mind and spirit, clear the sinuses, relieve coughs, headaches, and aid nausea. You can see very quickly, that these herbs are ready to tackle anything that gets in the way of your well-earned "me" time!
Rose is a revered, heart lifter. Rose is used to lighten the heart when it's overloaded with heavy emotions that relate to stress, grief, and work-related burnout. It ensures that you " Stop and smell the roses".
Yea, but how does it taste?
Mildly, earthy with hints of floral and the cooling mouth properties of mint. It works well with a natural sweetener like raw honey. But only add the honey after it cools to a drinkable temperature. Heating honey kills the healing elements that our bee friends worked so diligently to produce.
