A wonderful blend to not only ease the symptoms of leaky gut and gastrointestinal discomfort but a blend to actually help heal the wounds from chronic and acute inflammation. This formula is also formulated to gently ease the nervous system to help someone restore their state in order to digest with more ease. If you are experiencing leaky gut this tea will help but if you dont discover the root of your problem it will not cure it. If you would like to dive deeper please reach out to schedule a consultation. I would recommend the comprehensive for digestive complaints.

It is not a complete knock you out tea, though some will feel more sedation than others. If you boil this tea you will lessen the hypnotic effects but still receive the shift from day time go to evening chill. If you do not boil it but do a warm overnight steep you may notice a heavier hitting hypnotic effect.

This teas flavor is delightfully mellow unlike so many sleep teas that are supremely bitter, it holds a neutrally natural flavor that is very easy to drink. Drink 1-2 cup or start small you may only need 1/4c. This tea pairs well with the Happy Hour and Parasympathetic Night Cap tinctures.

Cooling the HPA axis which can become hyperactive for those living in chronic states of stress.

Cool / Dry. My favorite go to sleep tea, easy to hide in a formula and really gets the job done.

Zingiber / Ginger
