The Flower That Puts Racing Thoughts to Sleep
Passionflower — Passiflora incarnata

DID YOU KNOW?
Passionflower doesn't just relax your body — it specifically quiets the mind. Studies show it
increases levels of GABA in the brain, the same neurotransmitter that prescription sleep aids
target. The difference? Passionflower does it gently, without grogginess, dependency, or the foggy
"sleep hangover" that pills often leave behind.

If you lie in bed with your mind running through tomorrow's to-do list, passionflower tea about 45
minutes before bed can be transformative. It's one of the most underappreciated herbs in our shop
— and one of Dawn's personal favorites for clients dealing with stress-related insomnia.

From Dawn at Pestle & Potions:
Our Week 4 Tea & Yoga series focuses entirely on Sleep. Join us the third Monday of each month
at 3410 Kori Rd — just $35 per class.

Your Stomach Has Been Begging for This Root
Ginger — Zingiber officinale

DID YOU KNOW?
Ginger contains compounds called gingerols and shogaols that directly calm the muscles lining
your digestive tract. This is why a simple cup of fresh ginger tea can quiet nausea within minutes
— no prescription required. Ancient Ayurvedic physicians used it over 5,000 years ago as a
"universal medicine," and modern research has confirmed what they already knew.

At Pestle & Potions, we keep dried ginger root and pre-blended ginger teas in stock year-round —
because there's almost no week where someone doesn't need it. Whether it's morning sickness,
motion sickness, or that queasy feeling after a stressful day, ginger is one of the most reliable,
gentle tools in the herbal world.

From Dawn at Pestle & Potions:
Come ask Dawn which ginger blend is right for your body type. Every Tuesday night at 5:30 PM —
Ask An Herbalist is free to attend.

My friends in Jax, Ponte Vedra, and St Augustine... I have two exceptional people looking for work. One is male and is great with people! Excellent salesperson with a wonderful personality. He has done retail and worked at Publix for a decade.

The other is female and is an excellent massage therapist and loves people! She is great with kids and pets. She has a massage chair so she can do chair massage at your business on a regular basis or whatever you need. She is very fun and works hard. She is great at customer service as well.

Neither is overly picky. They just need work.
Let me know if you need someone! (They live in St Augustine.)
