Somewhere over the rainbow… or right here in this bottle. Blue skies await. These herbs have long been called upon for their uplifting properties making moments just a bit brighter.
This potion isn’t just an oxymel. It isn’t just a tincture. It isn’t just tea. This is a skillfully crafted potion blended of many herbal methods and forms. It is intended to taste as good as a cocktail, but instead of giving you a “buzz” as the effect, it gives you a gentle lift and smile. Wellness can be fun and delicious… see for yourself!

Teaching Herbalism through Herbal Craft
Why did I choose the ingredients that I did? Here goes… JASMINE GREEN TEA was included because of the gentle uplifting effects of green tea due to the perfect mixture that comes in the leaf of Caffeine and L-Theanine, one energizing and the other soothing. The scent of jasmine (these pearls were freshly gathered green tea leaves rolled with a fresh jasmine flower to impart the perfect flavor and scent. Nothing fake here!) is also noted to bring a sense of wellness. I then chose DAMIANA because of its long standing reputation as an uplifing and aphrodisiac herb. It has shown in countless cases and over centuries to support mood and circulation. I couldn’t dare do an uplifting potion without including one of my alltime favorite mood supportive herbs, RHODIOLA ROOT. Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb known to be incredibly supportive and restorative to the nervous system, cellular protective, energizing and mood supportive. I was certain that Mimosa bark and flower needed to be included because they are pretty much the dynamic duo when it comes to bringing a smile. The flower brings the initial grin, while the bark offers that long lasting effect. The last power herb I chose for this potion was HOLY BASIL. Reason being, I wanted to assure that this blend was still balanced. Some of us need a little lift because we have worn ourselves out with anxiousness while others have a difficult time getting out of what seems like a sticky rut. Holy Basil is lovely in both cases and brings balance to this high lift blend, offering a sense of grounding with wings. I wanted to make sure that the flavors all married together well so CARDAMOM PODS were invited and happily accepted the invitation. Side note- I also chose Cardamom pods because after creating this blend focused on uplifting, I realized that it is also mildly carminative and digestive supportive. Cardamom helped kick that up a notch. Mood can often begin in the digestive tract so it is no coincidence that this blend happens to also be a digestive tonic.
