Mood Support Tonic

Contains herbal allies traditionally shown to: Support mood regulation | ease emotional heaviness | ease mental tension | aid those that feel emotionally dull.

Contains Certified Organic: St. John’s Wort, Vervain, Ashwagandha, Skullcap and Tulsi in a base of purified water and sugarcane alcohol. 

Overview

A five-plant formula crafted to support mood regulation when emotional heaviness is tied to nervous system depletion, HPA-axis fatigue, and low stress resilience. This blend works on both surface-level mood patterns and deeper stress chemistry: the nervines (Skullcap, Vervain, St John’s Wort) ease mental tension and emotional stagnation, while Ashwagandha and Tulsi modulate stress hormones and buffer cortisol-driven irritability and collapse. Designed for those who feel flat, overextended, or emotionally dulled from long-term overdrive.

Active Constituents (combined spectrum)

• Naphthodianthrones & phloroglucinols (hypericin, hyperforin – St John’s Wort) traditionally explored for mood-lifting effects.
• Iridoids & bitter glycosides (verbenalin, hastatoside – Vervain) linked to nervous debility and mood stagnation.
• Withanolides & adaptogenic lactones (Ashwagandha) for stress hormone modulation.
• Flavonoids & alkaloids (baicalin-type compounds – Skullcap) associated with GABA receptor support.
• Rosmarinic acid, eugenol & essential oils (Tulsi) known for uplifting mood while reducing stress-induced inflammation.

Medicinal Properties (as described in herbal literature)

• Thymoleptic (traditionally associated with mood elevation)
• Nervine tonic & relaxant
• Adaptogenic & adrenal restorative
• Mild antidepressant and anxiolytic
• Anti-inflammatory (neuro-calming)
• HPA-axis modulating
• Trophorestorative to the nervous system
• Mild hepatoprotective (St John’s Wort historically linked with liver support in mood stagnation)

Traditional Uses (combined)

• For low mood associated with exhaustion, overwork, or nervous depletion
• To brighten emotional heaviness where mental fog and apathy follow long-term stress
• To support those who feel “stuck” emotionally or mentally flat after stress or adrenal strain
• Feeding and restoring the nervous system during burnout patterns and recovery after emotional strain
• Historically used to “let the light back in” where mood feels dulled or compressed

Scientific Insights (summary)

St John’s Wort constituents hyperforin and hypericin have been studied for serotonin, dopamine, and GABA reuptake modulation, contributing to improved emotional regulation. Ashwagandha is researched for lowering cortisol and improving stress-related mood symptoms. Skullcap and Vervain show interest in GABA_A receptor interaction, promoting relaxation without sedation. Tulsi demonstrates potential neuroinflammatory modulation, linking stress chemistry and mood patterns. Together, these actions reflect both neurochemical support and stress resilience building.

Energetic / Spiritual Qualities

A formula that lifts fog, restores inner spark, and softens the heaviness around the chest and mind. St John’s Wort and Tulsi bring brightness; Vervain releases rigidity and overthinking; Skullcap quiets mental chatter; Ashwagandha anchors energy back into the body. The overall signature is light-bringing, softening, and steadying.

Contraindications
