Inspiration I: Find Peace and Tranquility at 3:00 AM

They say that in a relationship, it is best for no one to go to bed angry. Sometimes there were words said between him and I that got me thinking, made me upset, which in turn disturbed my sleep. So generally, from personal experience, I agree with this advice. Try to resolve your upsets peaceably before sleep. Even better: Avoid arguments at night in general.

I didn’t realize it back then, but the mental stress and rumination was affecting my digestion system; I would often wake up with acid reflux and an upset stomach very early in the morning. My person at the time would be on the couch and look at me quizzically as I would whip up a simple tea blend for myself: damiana, chamomile, ashwagandha, and some rose petals.

I would sit on the couch beside him, and I would ask him about some of the things he said that upset me. Eventually, the discomfort in my stomach and mind would go away.

Inspiration II: Cherish Breathtaking Beauty

A friend of mine was going through a really rough, distressing time at her home. I had invited her to spend the night with me, telling me about her stressors. I placed a blue lotus violet in a tea cup and poured water over it. “That is so beautiful, I barely want to drink it.”

Inspiration III: Soothe Your a Wandering Mind

The same friend ran out of her own herb, and she was about to travel out of state. The night before she was scheduled to leave, I added a mixture of damiana, mullein, rose petals, and blue lotus as a comforting blend to remember me by as she traveled. She loved it, but wasn’t feeling the rose petals too much.

Ease in Violet Ingredients

The ingredients in the Ease in Violet Herbal Blend contains the following herbs:

• Mullein
• Damiana
• Chamomile
• Lemon Balm
• Blue Lotus Flower

Mullein has often been touted as an herb that targets the respiratory system, often used in folk remedies for colds, flu, and pneumonia. Of course, when burned, it has also been used as a functional substitute for tobacco. You can find more information about mullein here.

Damiana is an adaptogen that offers relaxation similar to ashwagandha. It is also, perhaps more so than ashwagandha, often known for its aphrodisiacal affects; however, these effects have not been confirmed in human trials. You can find more information about damiana here.

Chamomile is a very benign herbs with powerful benefits to the digestive system, respiratory system, and the automatic nervous system, and the integumentary system (skin, hair, and nails). You can find more information about chamomile here.

Lemon Balm is so unassuming but fragrant. Many note may note how rampant lemon balm spreads when planted directly it the soil. You can find more information about lemon balm here.

Blue lotus is incredibly beautiful, but also mysterious. Depending on the form of consumption, many have noted that it has hypnotic effects, especially when consumed in high quantities. Some studies have noted that it can reduce anxiety, but like damiana, there aren’t many human clinical trials for blue lotus. It is worth noting, only in Louisiana is blue lotus illegal in the US. You can also find some information here.
