Finding calm can be a process, and there are tonic herbs traditionally turned to for support along the way. You might look into a few products that can be combined in a tonic, or simply start with one. Reishi, Ashwagandha, Mucuna Pruriens and Anandamide are all a good place to begin. You could make a warming hot cacao using Anandamide with an extra dash of Mucuna Pruriens, both traditionally used to support emotional well-being.
