Quiet Evening Nervine Infusion

This gentle infusion reflects a classic Western herbal approach to stress that shows up as mental busyness and difficulty settling at the end of the day. Herbalists have long paired mild nervines and aromatics to create preparations meant to soften the transition from activity into rest.

Rather than pushing the body in any direction, this tea is traditionally used to support stress and burnout by encouraging ease, comfort, and a calmer internal rhythm as part of an evening routine.
