Medicinal Action
Mood Support
Mood support focuses on helping individuals manage emotional fluctuations caused by stress, hormonal changes, or underlying mental health challenges. It often involves herbs like St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), which are traditionally used to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and uplift mood. Lifestyle practices, such as mindfulness, regular physical activity, and proper nutrition, also play a significant role in maintaining emotional balance and overall mental health.

Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus)
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Eleuthero has been used for over 2,000 years to fortify Qi and support the Spleen and Kidney meridians. It was traditionally used to increase stamina, combat fatigue, and strengthen the immune system, especially during recovery from illness. In Russia, Eleuthero gained prominence during the Soviet era for its ability to enhance athletic performance, mental clarity, and stress resilience.
Current Uses:
Today, Eleuthero is widely used as an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to stress and improve endurance and energy. It is commonly used for:
- Increasing energy and stamina during periods of fatigue or physical exertion
- Supporting immune function, particularly in times of stress or recovery
- Balancing stress responses, promoting mental clarity and focus
- Enhancing athletic performance and aiding in post-exercise recovery
- Improving overall vitality and resilience to environmental stressors

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.
