DREAMS
If you seek better sleep, this may just be your new best friend. It enhances full body and mind relaxation while soothing the nervous system. It is a powerful yet gentle nudge to better sleep. Not to mention, some folks even find this blend very helpful during the day. Ideally, if their anxiousness is almost too overwhelming to be able to move throughout the day as they wish. It can calm them down a few levels, and if anxiousness is running really high, those few levels of lowering down helps get back down to “normal” and not necessarily sleepy.
Some find great comfort in drinking this 1 hour before bedtime and then doing a second steep, leaving it it by the bed in case there are any middle-of-the-night wakings.

Teaching Herbalism Through Tea Craft
Dreams- I blended some of the strongest calming nervine herbs possible together to create a wonderfully potent bedtime blend. There are some herbs that are a bit stronger but would make this blend taste quite bitter and turn many of us off. Herbs such as hops and blue vervain are very potent relaxation herbs, but the flavor would not blend well with most pallets. I blended herbs each bringing their own speciality to create an overall relaxation tending to several areas of the body and types of tension. Also, Though this has been categorized as our Sleeping Blend, it doesn’t have to be that by any means. Its just a bit stronger than our Calm blend which is intended to be drank anytime. Dreams was meant for the evenings if someone isn’t dealing with severe stress or anxiety. If you are, it can be a nice tonic to bring you to a calmer state any time of day. Ingredients: VALERIAN ROOT- a nervine noted to calm tummy tension and soothe thoughts of “what I could have done differently today” from racing through the mind. CHAMOMILE- soothing herb gentle yet powerful in its mild approach to soothing the system on many many levels. PASSIONFLOWER- nervous system tonic special to calming mental tension and racing thoughts. CALIFORNIA POPPY- nervine specializing in relieving spasmodic issues while offering whole body relaxation as well as helping to relieve tension headaches. WOOD BETONY- nervine specializing in relieving muscular tension and tension headaches. SKULLCAP- calming herb specializing in relieving muscular tension, fidgeting and spasms, and angry outbursts. MOTHERWORT- nervous system tonic specializing in calming “heart tension” which presents as heart palpitations, chest tightness, and high blood pressure. LAVENDER BLOSSOMS- aromatically calming herb with lovely flavor. PEPPERMINT- delicious herb that helps cover the scent of the valerian root and bring this whole blend nicely together.
