When we talk about Herbal Support for Stress + Mood, we’re zooming in on one part of what these plants can do; this is not their whole résumé. Herbs like St. John’s Wort, Rhodiola, Lemon Balm, Milky Oats, Passionflower, Skullcap, Peppermint, Rose, and California Poppy don’t numb your feelings or create artificial joy.

These herbs work with different systems in our bodies:

•The nervous system, which affects how quickly you get energized or relax

•The HPA axis, which is the connection between your brain and adrenal glands that manages stress

•Neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which are messengers that help you feel calm, focused, and good

•The gut–brain connection -yes, your digestion can affect your mood

Although this post spotlights how these herbs support stress and mood, it is important to remember that each plant offers a broader range of actions beyond what’s discussed here. One herb might help you feel calm and uplifted, while another could support your nervous system over time and help with sleep or focus.

Our bodies are complex and so are the plants! That’s where we come in; we’re here to help you understand herbs in simple, everyday language, so you can pick the ones that fit how you feel and what you need.
If you have specific questions about an herb? Drop it in the comments or come talk to us. We love translating plant science into something your nervous system (and your schedule) can actually use.

Hormones are everywhere on social media right now. Every other post is about burnout, “hormone hacking,” perimenopause, or menopause — and yes, those seasons are real. But here’s the thing:

YOUR HORMONES DIDN’T JUST SUDDENLY SHOW UP!!! They’ve been running the show your whole life.

Sometimes it is PMS, perimenopause, or menopause.
Sometimes it’s stress, poor sleep, heavy cycles, blood sugar swings, or a nervous system that’s just…tired. Either way, your body is asking for support.

That’s exactly why we created Hot Girls.

Our Hot Girls formula has become a cult classic, and we’re so grateful every time our folks share their success stories about how much it’s helped them feel more like themselves again. We designed this blend to be a steady ally whether you have a menstrual cycle, are in the “is this PMS or perimenopause?” years, or if you are fully menopausal.

If you have your menstrual cycle

Hot Girls supports:

PMS tension + irritability

Cycle discomfort

Emotional ups and downs around your period

A healthy, more balanced flow over time

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause

Hot Girls supports:

Hot flashes and night sweats

Sleep and mood changes

The overall hormonal “roller coaster” and flood of emotions

Today is a GMilk kind of day, especially after all that Hyroxing. Herbal anti inflammatories to the rescue!

This is not some run of the mill golden milk turmeric and ginger powder in a cup. This is GMilk. The GMilk latte is spicy with the addition of fresh pressed ginger juice, and it gets an extra boost of goodness from the He Shou Wu. It’s available on the bar and it’s in stock, so you can make all the GMilk you want at home!

We have been going hard this entire year. There have been so many life things that we’ve had to keep going through. We work through the madness and come out stronger on the other side. Only one of us is competing but we both stay hard.

Stay tuned to the stories, we’ll be documenting in real time….we think.

When you reach for herbs, you’re not just chasing a quick fix—you’re choosing balance. You’re asking, “How can my body come back into harmony?” instead of, “How do I make this go away?” Herbal remedies work with your whole system: nervous, digestive, hormonal, emotional, and more. Herbs support your body’s natural processes, gently nudging things back into alignment over time, rather than forcing a single pathway to change. Pharmaceutical drugs are designed to target one problem, one symptom, one lab number. Herbs, on the other hand, are about the ongoing relationship—how you breathe, sleep, digest, handle stress, and move through your day. Balance is a process: the small choices, daily rituals, and plant allies that help keep you steady. The outcome is just a snapshot at the end. Both have their place, but if you’re here, you’re probably craving more than just an end result—you want a life that feels aligned from the inside out. This is what makes herbal medicine DOPE!

Matcha vs Hojicha for your health 💚🤎

Same tea plant, two different ways to support your body all day:

💚 Matcha – calm, focused power

Packed with antioxidants (especially EGCG) to help fight oxidative stress

Supports metabolism + steady energy

Caffeine + L-theanine = calm, focused alertness for work, movement, and creativity

🤎 Hojicha – gentle, grounding support

Roasted green tea that’s naturally lower in caffeine

Gentle on digestion + soothing to the nervous system

Great anytime you want warmth without the buzz—morning, afternoon reset, or evening ritual

Think of matcha when you want focused, sustained energy—and hojicha when you want comfort, calm clarity, and a softer lift that still supports your body.

Do you reach for Matcha Momentum or Hojicha Grounding more often? 🌿

Hormones aren’t just a “women’s issue” or a menopause moment that is popular on social media—they’re a lifelong network for both men and women that shapes energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, libido, focus, skin, bones, and more. Every day, our bodies are choreographing signals from cortisol (stress), insulin (blood sugar), thyroid hormones (metabolism), and s*x hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone —not just during PMS, perimenopause, or menopause. Steady, everyday support matters. We get this through nutrient-dense food, herbal allies, amino acids, fiber, strength training, quality sleep, and keeping stress at bay. Herbal allies play an ongoing role —think maca for overall endocrine resilience, shatavari and red clover for estrogenic nourishment, chaste tree for luteal support, motherwort for stress balance, d**g quai for healthy circulation, raspberry leaf for uterine tone, alfalfa for minerals, and saw palmetto for androgen harmony. We feature these herbs and more in several of our hormone-forward products.
Small, consistent rituals beat crisis fixes—support your hormones now so that they can support you at every stage.

Hot flashes, night sweats, thoughts of homicide, out of control menstrual cycles, you name it. With all this talk about menopause and perimenopause it can be hard to know what’s real, there is a lot of noise on these hormone streets, influencers talking crazy- trying to make you believe everything is wrong with you 😒. All the symptoms sound like yours and you don’t even know where to begin.
If you want real solutions, we are here for you. Our consult and class is intimate and personalized.
