Everyone has their own bedtime ritual. Some we partake in to resist the pull of sleep, others we cultivate to prepare us. Underworld Tonic is formulated as an ally to initiate you into a place of rest and renewal.

A small dose supports the necessary unraveling from the day’s productive work and encourages a reflective transition into the realm of sleep, where we can turn away from the news of the world to steep in the dreamtime of the cosmos.

This is not a potion to promote drowsiness, nor is it here to knock you out. It is an ally in your transition from wakefulness to sleep, and a guide through the depths of the underworld.

“The dread and resistance which every natural human being experiences when it comes to delving too deeply into himself is, at bottom, the fear of the journey to Hades.” - C.G. Jung

Pair With: Reishi Extract, Cool Wave Tea

To use: before bed, 10-20 drops for a light initiation or 1-2 droppers full to encourage restful sleep.

Note: As the quality of sleep varies for every person, the dosage of this potion can also vary from person to person. Experiment with what works for you, keeping in mind that we do not recommend taking more than 3 droppers full (~3ml) before bed.

Ingredients*:

1. Passionflower — Helps to reset your circadian rhythm, passionflower nourishes the adrenals and aids in slowing down a racing mind.

2. Skullcap — A highly safe and reliable mild sedative that helps with both insomnia and anxiety as well as rebuilding and restoring nerves thanks to its neurotrophorestorative qualities. Effective at unraveling circular thinking and worry.

3. Mugwort — Integrated into this formula for its more esoteric abilities, Mugwort offers an awakening of intuition for reflective night work and evokes vivid dreams if taken just before bed.

4. Milky Oat Tops — Deeply nourishing to the nervous system, oats rich in silica, calcium, chromium and magnesium are a nutritive tonic to the nervous system, adrenals, and heart. They help to buffer the nerves from the stress and over-stimulation of daily life that can eventually lead to depression, low vitality and immunity.

5. Lemon Balm — An excellent and citrusy nervine, lemon balm helps to reduce tension, nervousness, and panic while encouraging a deep sense of calm. Uplifting and enlightening, this herb is the "candle" in this formula, lighting the way through the shadowy realms of nighttime and sleep.

6. Kava Kava Root — A relaxing sedative that doesn’t impair lucidity or mental clarity, Kava Kava root has shown to be effective for the reduction of generalized anxiety and an ally in times of stress, offering calm and comforting support.
