THE STORY.

I created Formula № 9 for when the day had ended, but some part of you hasn’t quite gotten the message.

These botanical night drops are formulated from plants with long histories of traditional use in preparations intended to encourage calm, relaxation, and rest. Together, they make a formula designed not to hurry you toward sleep, but to help create a gentle passage between the activity of the day and the quiet of the night.

A few drops. (I like to add mine to tart cherry juice.) The lights turned low. The unfinished things allowed to remain unfinished until the next day (or the next). The day can end here.

This product is available after individual consultation if deemed appropriate.

HOW TO USE.

When preparing for sleep: Take 3-5 dropperfuls in a small amount of water, juice (esp. tart cherry), or tea as you begin to wind down. Because individual responses to herbs vary, we recommend beginning with a smaller amount and getting to know how the blend feels for you before using the full serving. Use only when you have adequate time for sleep.

WHAT’S INSIDE.

Organic Lemon Balm: Lemon balm has been treasured since at least the Middle Ages in European herbalism as a plant of comfort and good spirits. Its reputation for bringing a little ease made it a natural starting place for Formula № 9—a gentler presence among the formula’s deeper herbs.

Organic California Poppy: This flowering plant native to western North America has a long history in herbalism, informed in part by Indigenous uses of the plant. Herbalists have long turned to it when restlessness makes it difficult to settle into relaxation. Despite the name, California poppy is not an opium poppy; they’re actually quite different plants.

Organic Skullcap: American Skullcap has a long place in Western herbalism, particularly when the nerves feel frayed and settling down feels difficult. That made it an especially natural choice for a formula created around letting go of the day.

Organic Passionflower: Native to the Americas, passionflower has found a home in European and Western herbalism as a plant bringing peace to a restless mind.

Organic Valerian Root: With an unmistakably earthy aroma and a deep-seated role in European herbal traditions, valerian is one of the classic herbs associated with deep rest and sleep.

OTHER INGREDIENTS: alcohol (herbs were tinctured in 35-40% alcohol)

Formula No. 9 is a vegan formula.

Out of an abundance of caution, during our consultation I will ask you if you have ever been diagnosed with liver disease, or previously had liver injury caused by medication or an herbal product, whether you are taking blood-thinking medication, whether you are taking medication to manage diabetes or lower blood sugar, or whether you frequently feel dizzy or unsteady or have repeated falls. If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you must check with your healthcare provider as to whether this product is appropriate for you before I will provide it to you.
