About This Tonic

Calming Blend Tea is a 14-herb certified organic tea blend, combining well-known calming botanicals, Chamomile, Skullcap, Ashwagandha, with more distinctive aromatic ingredients including Sandalwood, Saffron, and Blue Lotus, alongside warming digestive herbs and traditional tonic botanicals.

Sandalwood is traditionally valued in Ayurveda as a Medhya (traditionally, "mind-supporting") aromatic. Saffron is one of the world's most prized spices, long used in South Asian and Middle Eastern culinary and herbal tradition. Blue Lotus is included here primarily for its historical and cultural significance, it was a revered flower in ancient Egyptian art and ceremony, rather than for any specific claimed effect.
