Traditionally, cultures around the world have valued dreaming as a
means to commune with the spirit world, recognize crucial symbols in
their lives, and offer a source of vision and perspective into future
events. Our Dream Herbal tea incorporates the following herbs that
offer the power of invoking dreams:
Chamomile Floweris known to support a sense of mental calm
and soothes wired nerves providing a restful sleep. It may also be
beneficial for those who have nightmares.
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf helps to increase lucid dreaming by
improving blood flow and nutrients to the brain, which in turn improves
memory, brain function, brain speed and critical thinking. This results
in more vivid dreams, and a increased likeliness that you will remember
them afterward.
Holy Basil Leaf is an adaptogenic herb that helps your body to
chemically adapt to outside stressors and promote mental balance by
halting production of the stress-hormone cortisol. It has also been
known to help people deal with recurring nightmares and night terrors.
Lavender Flower can help calm anxious feelings and encourage
more restful sleep. It helps the mind fall asleep faster and stay
asleep in a deeper way. Removes nervous exhaustion and restlessness
while also increasing mental activity in preparation for conscious
dreams.
Lemon Balm Leaf plays a role in encouraging deep, restful
sleep by supporting mood and mental calmness. Lemon balm indirectly
encourages sleep by improving mood and inducing mental calmness. Lemon
balm can be considered a nootropic or a brain-enhancing supplement since
it can improve cognitive performance.
Mugwort“takes you up a level” from your habitual dream
state. If you tend not to remember anything about your dreams, mugwort
will help you recollect bits & pieces; if you have spotty recall, it
will help you construct a more complete narrative thread. If you dream
only in black & white, mugwort may introduce colors. If you have
solely visual dreams, mugwort-enhanced dreams might have other senses
engaged. If you already have good dream recall and rich texture to your
dreams, you may begin to become aware of your dream state while
dreaming, what is called lucid dreaming.
Passionflower supports the nervous system in unwinding when
you are feeling wound up from occasional anxiety. Being in a state of
relaxation, allows for the dream work to be more easily attainable.
Some evidence indicates that passionflower can have a positive effect on
sleep patterns enhancing vivid dreams that occur during our REM sleep
cycle.
Peppermint Leaf has relaxing properties which can help reduce
tension from your muscles and can help consumers sleep for longer hours
and have a better quality sleep. It not only bring about muscle
relaxation for a more restful sleep; this tea has properties that can
bring about vivid dreams.
Rosemary Leaf can enhance cerebral activity and memory. One of
the biggest struggles of tapping into our dreams and subconsciousness
is remembering them so when our cognitive function and memory recall are
in sharp condition, we are able to recall our dreams more easily.
Valerian Rootcontains compounds that stimulate opioid
receptors and serotonin production in your brain, producing relaxing and
antidepressant effects. Overall, these sedative properties may promote
deeper sleep patterns that lead to vivid dreams. Valerian’s ability to
make our dreams more vivid is one of the reasons it is easier to recall
dreams.
