How to use
The Ritual:
Using a kettle or teapot, heat 1-2 cups of water to 205 degrees—that’s when your kettle starts to rumble, but before it whistles. Steep a teabag for 5 minutes, wait for your drink to cool, and enjoy.
The Enhanced Ritual:
For larger mugs, use 2 teabags for best flavor.
Maximize Your Results:
Add 2 full droppers of your preferred Naturopathica herbal tincture, like our fan favorites Oat Stress Relief Tincture and Passionflower Sleep Tincture. For a dose of sweet calm, add a spoonful of Chamomile Calming Honey, which includes the soothing benefits of lavender and chamomile along with the restorative power of wildflower honey.
Schisandra helps to shift out of "fight or flight mode," while Chamomile can help you to return to a consistent focused and productive state of being.
