Focus + Clarity
70 g
The house, work, sleep, children.. add to this list what you may. Our brains have a constant rolodex of to-do's and many of us struggle to keep those items straight, or to focus when we have the opportunity to get things done.
As someone with ADD tendencies, I was looking to create a blend that I could take daily to boost focus and clarity. This involves herbs for both calming the nervous system and gently stimulating the mind. Reducing stress and anxiety is a huge part of building focus and is integral in this blend.
If you are experiencing brain fog, forgetfulness, overwhelm, ADHD symptoms, stress or anxiety, this daily tea blend may be ideal.
