Take the Edge Off
This tincture is formulated with potent botanicals to help relieve stress and tension.
My thoughts after trying it:
I really liked it! It made me feel relaxed but not drowsy. I just added it to 2 oz of water.
It tasted and smelled like chamomile tea (the website’s description says it tastes like white wine, I didn’t think so, but the calming tea taste and smell were actually pleasant).
I also had a more restful night’s sleep. I didn’t wake up (like usual) are 3 am with my head spinning with a bazillion thoughts.
A lot of my clients ask me if there are natural ways, through food and nutrients, to help reduce stress, anxiety, insomnia, and/or tension/pain so I’m always looking into quality products that could provide them with some relief.
If you are on any medications or have allergies or sensitivities, it’s important to discuss any new product additions with your doctor.

Some helpful information from Apothekary on this product:
It is 100% Certified Organic, third-party tested, alcohol-free (with vegetable glycerin as a base), and sugar-free.
WHAT IT DOES:
It has powerful nervine herbs that ease symptoms of stress in the moment. Like the name implies – nervine herbs are a class of plants that specifically target the nervous system. They can help reduce muscle tension and tension headaches, calm restlessness and irritability, and in higher doses, support sleep.
WHAT’S IN IT:
Passionflower (flower) has been used as a traditional remedy for insomnia, anxiety, and pain. Current research studies and clinical trials have proven its continued value for the nervous system as well. Used acutely and over time, passionflower cools and tones the nervous system.
Linden (leaf & flower) soothes our nervous and cardiovascular systems. It has been traditionally used to calm the nerves and reduce symptoms of anxiety, including indigestion, rapid heart rate, and nausea.
Skullcap (leaf & flower) is a nervine herb that has traditionally been used to curb nervousness, ease tension and quell tension headaches. It has mood-elevating benefits without reducing mental energy and cognition.
Oatstraw (leaf) is from the same plant as the common oat. It is a gentle nervine and supports a taxed nervous system, is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and has been shown to improve the body’s response to stress.
White mulberries are known to be rich in antioxidants, helping to reduce free radical damage within the body.
Lemon peel has antioxidant properties within the body, and citrus peels are known to have a calming yet uplifting effect on our nervous system.
White nectarine and pear are juicy fruits that are high in vitamins and were also used to lend their rounded, sweet flavor to this blend’s wine white-esque flavor profile.
(Again, I didn’t think it tasted like white wine but maybe a sommelier would be able to pick up on this flavor).
PAIRS WELL WITH
Lemons, citrus, juicy fruits like pears and stone fruits, and sparkling water. It can also be a perfect addition to a citrusy mocktail.
