Its ability to calm physical symptoms as well as their underlying psychological roots makes it a wonderful ally to the herbal formula. 
 
Spearmint: Spearmint is as helpful to the body as it is pleasing to the palate. Used for improving stress response, digestive issues, arthritis, blood pressure moderation, and hormonal imbalance. 
 
Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is an adaptogen (helps the body deal with/adapt to stresses caused by illness or the environment), alterative (blood purifier), antibacterial (eliminates bacterial infection), anti-inflammatory (decreases inflammation), aphrodisiac (libido support), astringent (tightens, tones, and strengthens tissues), cardioactive (heart support), diuretic (decreases fluid retention), neuroprotective (protects central nervous system), thermogenic (supports natural body heat), and a stimulant (increases alertness). Ashwagandha is an overall body tonic that helps your body adapt to stress and support normal energy levels. It improves mood and is useful in treating anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, and symptoms of depression. Ashwagandha is also an antioxidant. Oxidative stress damages cells and tissue all over the body. (Please note: Ashwagandha is not deemed safe by the FDA for pregnant women. However, it has been used for centuries in pregnancies and has been found beneficial by many. Please speak with your health professional before incorporating any herbs into your diet, especially while pregnant or breastfeeding.)
 
Lemon Balm: Lemon balm is an antiviral (eliminates viruses), cholagogue (increases bile production), diaphoretic (supports perspiration), nervine (relaxes nervous system), sedative (calming/tranquilizing effect), and vasodilator (relaxes and widens the blood vessels allowing for increased blood flow and lower blood pressure). This plant is a mint, and like most mints, it is an excellent calming herb. Use it for stress or insomnia. Lemon balm also enhances memory and cognitive performance for people of all ages, but may also be helpful for folks with dementia and Alzheimer's.
