A blend of three relaxing herbs — skullcap, catnip, and blue vervain — traditionally combined as a supportive tea.

📜 Where it comes from

Skullcap, catnip, and blue vervain each have separate roots in Native American and European folk herbalism as calming, nervine plants used for restlessness and tension. Nineteenth-century American eclectic and folk herbalists began combining calming herbs like these into supportive teas, and the blend found a use among those going through the discomfort of alcohol withdrawal as a gentle, traditional aid to relaxation.
