Chamomile Lavender Tincture

Description

The combination of Chamomile and Lavender creates a powerful synergistic tincture, combining the distinct calming and supportive properties of both herbs.

Key Benefits of Chamomile Lavender Tincture:

This blend is primarily used to promote a holistic state of calm and rest:

1. Supports Restful Sleep and Fights Insomnia: This is the blend’s most common and strongest benefit.
   • Chamomile is a mild tranquilizer that contains the antioxidant apigenin, which may bind to receptors in the brain to induce drowsiness and help you fall asleep faster.
   • Lavender works to quiet the nervous system and is known to improve overall sleep quality and duration.
2. Eases Anxiety and Stress: Both herbs are renowned nervines (herbs that support the nervous system) that help manage a healthy response to stress.
   • Lavender is particularly effective for reducing feelings of anxiety, easing nervous tension, and calming an overstimulated mind.
   • Chamomile helps soothe nervousness and promotes general well-being.
3. Aids Digestion and Relieves Tension:
   • Chamomile has antispasmodic (cramp-relieving) and carminative (gas-relieving) properties that can help soothe an upset stomach, relieve gas, bloating, and symptoms associated with mild gastrointestinal irritation.
   • Lavender also helps relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, complementing chamomile’s action.
4. Soothes Headaches and Pain: The anti-inflammatory properties of both herbs may help to alleviate tension and reduce discomfort from headaches and menstrual cramps.
5. Mood Support: The combined calming effect on the nervous system can help lift the mood and reduce symptoms of occasional fatigue and melancholy associated with stress.

Dosage Information:

• General Recommendations: A common dosage for a blend of nervine tinctures usually falls in the range of 1-2 mL (approximately 20-40 drops) taken 1 to 3 times per day.
• For Sleep Support: The recommended dose is often taken about 30 minutes before bedtime.

Important Safety Note:

• Consult a Healthcare Professional: It is essential to consult with your doctor  before starting any new herbal supplement, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking prescription medications.
• Allergies: People with allergies to the daisy family (e.g., ragweed, chrysanthemums) should use chamomile with caution.
• Sedation: Due to the strong sedative nature of the blend, it may cause drowsiness and should be used with caution before driving or operating heavy machinery. It may interact with other sedatives.
