NERVOUS SYSTEM | Calm & Sleep
Herbs for sleep and stress, for the nights your mind won't switch off and the days that feel stretched thin. Reishi, Ashwagandha and our SHEN blend are tonic herbs traditionally used to support a healthy stress response, a calmer mind and restful sleep.
In classical Chinese medicine these are Shen herbs. They nourish the spirit and settle the Heart, so you can wind down at night and meet the day with more steadiness. Take them daily alongside good sleep habits, and give them a few weeks.

Both are traditionally used to support restful sleep. The difference is how they work. Reishi is a medicinal mushroom used for centuries in Taoist herbalism to calm the mind and settle the spirit, so it suits you if your thoughts race at bedtime. Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to support a healthy stress response, so it suits you if ongoing stress leaves you wired and unable to drop off. If you can't decide, the Sweet Dreams Bundle has both.
For sleep, most people take them in the evening, about an hour before bed: Reishi powder stirred into a warm drink, or Ashwagandha capsules with water. For daytime stress, you can take Ashwagandha in the morning instead. Follow the directions on the label and take them daily for a few weeks before judging how they suit you.
Yes. They're often taken together, which is why the Sweet Dreams Bundle pairs Reishi powder with Ashwagandha capsules. Start with one, then add the other, so you can tell how each suits you. If you'd rather take a single blend, SHEN brings together several calming Shen herbs in one jar. If you take prescription medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare practitioner first.
