Sweet Relief

from $22.00

A strong nervine blend to calm the mind and body. Provides relief from the evening triplet of anxiety, insomnia, and pain. Racing thoughts and pulse, nervous tension or irritability causing insomnia...or perhaps acute pain patterns causing restless sleep. These plants are allies for ‘in-the-moment’ and ideally are for short term use while you resolve the reasons for your anxiety, insomnia, or pain.

Low doses will provide peace, calm, and increase capacity for social connection. Higher doses are gently sedating and taken as the sun sets and you are preparing for sleep. This blend is intended as a ‘first-aid’ remedy during tough times and is not for long-term use.

In this blend:

California poppy | anxiety, tension headaches, insomnia, muscle tension, neuralgia, sciatica

Hops | insomnia, hormonal headaches, digestive upset, hot flashes, racing thoughts, ‘hot-headed’, rely on caffeine/sugar, pelvic pain

Passionflower | ADHD, pelvic pain, PMS, digestive upset, high blood pressure, racing pulse, insomnia, anxiety. Calms the spirit, increases cheerfulness Kava

Made with fresh cultivated plants (except kava which is dried), extracted with alcohol and glycerin.

Pregnancy: googling these individual plants will give a whole lot of: don’t take while pregnant! None of them are inherently toxic, especially in low doses. The reality is that the side effects of long-term SSRIs + benzodiazepines are likely much greater than the potential side effects of even long-term use of these herbs. Of course, there are always individual reaction + allergies that can occur with any ingested product. None of these plants are specifically abortive, labour-inducing, or teratogenic. You are absolutely capable of taking a few drops and noticing the effects on your body. If you have any unwanted side effects, you can simply discontinue or use smaller doses. Limit use to short-term, drop dosage.

Postpartum: yes. Hops is also a galactagogue. Consider short-term, drop dosage when breastfeeding.

Children: This is a strong blend for older children or those who do not respond to Soothe. Use in drop dosages for severe MSK pain, growing pains, headache, anxiety. Avoid use for toddlers and young children.

If you re using this for the first time, start with drops dosage. Take a few drops under the tongue 1-2 hours before bed. Then take a final dose of a few drops as you climb into bed. If you wake with racing thoughts, take another dose of a few drops. Use the same protocol for acute pain patterns. Increase dosage as needed.

Avoid this blend if you are taking SSRIs, SNRIs, or benzodiazepines. The herbs in this blend may potentiate the effect of these drugs.
