Dig Deeper: Peace Portal Bitters

Peace Portal is a floral bitters blend to soothe the mind and nurture the nerves. A great ally in moments of intensity and stress, while offering long-term nourishment to the nervous system.

Skullcap helps to relieve muscle tension of melt away stress felt throughout the body, while holy basil, ashwagandha, and blue vervain work via the endocrine and nervous system to help regulate our stress response, and bring our awareness to a calm and collected present moment. Milky oats work in the background to nourish and restore the nervous system back to integrity.

A touch of lavender and local raw honey tames the strong aromatic bitterness, together cultivating an experience both calming and centering.

Key Ingredients*:

1. Skullcap — A calming nervine that tones and supports the nervous system over time. Skullcap is considered a nerve trophorestorative, meaning it restores balance to the nervous system by nourishing and rebuilding nerves.
   
2. Milky Oats — The fresh unripe seed pods of the oat plant, offer a deeply nourishing treat for the nervous system. Milky oats are considered one of the best remedies for “feeding” and restoring the nervous system, particularly in times of stress and in the case of nervous system weakness or exhaustion associated with depression, overwork, or emotional trauma.
   
3. Holy Basil — Traditionally used in Ayurveda for low spirits, brain fog, anxiety, and mild depression, Holy Basil is an adaptogen that helps the body adapt to stress, increases oxygen intake, and promotes healthy energy levels.
   
4. Ashwagandha Root — Used preventatively to avoid burnout and breakdown. It can also be used restoratively to help to strengthen those who are already mentally or physically depleted. Builds the body’s intrinsic strength and stamina while reducing acute response to stress.
   
5. Blue Vervain — With a long tradition of use as a magical and sacred plant among the druids, who used it to create magical space, focus intention, and loosen powerful unseen forces, blue vervain packs a powerful punch both in it's strong persistent bitter note and its ability to relax tension and ward off bad vibes.
6. Lavender — Calming by name and smell alone, a small amount is used in this blend to add a touch of camphor-like aromatics, along with its anxiety reducing effects.
