Medicinal Action
Blood pressure management
Herbs that support blood pressure management work by improving circulation, relaxing blood vessels, reducing stress, or supporting kidney and heart function. Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is a well-known cardiovascular tonic that helps regulate blood pressure and strengthen the heart. Garlic (Allium sativum) supports healthy blood pressure by promoting vasodilation and reducing arterial stiffness. Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) has a calming diuretic effect, helping to lower blood pressure naturally. These herbs, combined with lifestyle practices like stress management and a balanced diet, provide a natural and holistic approach to maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.

Ashwagandha Root
A deeply restorative adaptogen, Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera) has been treasured in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries for its ability to strengthen resilience and restore balance. Known as a “rasayana” or rejuvenative tonic, it supports the body’s natural capacity to adapt to life’s daily stressors and maintain equilibrium across the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.
This tincture offers a stabilizing, grounding energy — not stimulating, but harmonizing. It helps moderate the body’s stress response, nourishing depleted reserves and supporting healthy adrenal function over time.
Crafted through a 60% organic cane ethanol extraction to preserve its full spectrum of constituents, this formula embodies the adaptogenic principle described by herbalist David Winston: to normalize rather than force, to strengthen rather than overstimulate, and to build vitality that endures.
Like the resilient root itself, Ashwagandha invites you to slow your rhythm, find your center, and cultivate calm strength from within.
Dosage
Take 2–4 mL (approximately 40–80 drops) up to three times daily in a small amount of water or directly on the tongue.
Best taken consistently over time for cumulative benefit, particularly during periods of emotional strain, fatigue, or high output.
Pairs well with restorative practices such as breathwork, yoga nidra, journaling, or quiet moments in nature.
