Every Ingredient Has a Purpose
'Calming and relaxing'
Chamomile
One of the nine sacred herbs of the Anglo-Saxons and dedicated to the sun god, Ra, by the Egyptians, Chamomile has been a well-loved and significant herb across cultures for thousands of years. Traditionally used to promote calm and relaxation, it has been used extensively to reduce tension throughout the mind and body.
'Long used to encourage restful sleep'
Nutmeg
Delicious, aromatic, and (most importantly) long used to encourage a restful night’s sleep. Originally grown in the Moluccan islands of Indonesia, Nutmeg has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to help with sleep. It is a rich source of antioxidants and is often prepared in a milky drink before bed.
'Traditionally used to aid restful sleep'
Passionflower
Possibly the most beautiful ingredient we use, Passionflower has been used in Europe as a tea to help provide restful sleep since its introduction from the Americas in the 17th century. The plant is traditionally used to aid restful sleep by calming the mind and nervous system.
'A natural source of minerals and trace elements'
Seagreens®
A natural source of minerals and trace elements, Seagreens® is rich in iodine. This aids your metabolism as well as helping to maintain normal digestion, skin, thyroid, nervous system, and cognitive function. Seagreens® itself is a dried fine powder of wrack seaweeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Many of The Herbtender community enjoy mixing blends for increased potency. You could decide to combine a few blends to work together to achieve the same thing, such as Rise & Shine and Focus & Clarity, which are crafted for energy and mental focus. We recommend taking those in the morning or afternoon. Or you could take blends that do different things at different times of the day such as Rise & Shine to get you going in the morning together with Doze and Dream in the evening to support deeper rest and relaxation. You are your own Herbtender so you’re welcome to combine your favourite blends any time of day!
We have designed a series of sets combining two or more of our products that go particularly well together. See our sets here.
We advise you to consult with a herbalist or medical practitioner before taking our products if you are on prescribed medication. Even though our capsules are made from natural ingredients, interactions can sometimes happen. To find a medical herbalist near you please go to www.nimh.org.uk and click on ‘find a herbalist’
Yes, all of our products can be taken long term. Often, we find that when people no longer need them, they begin to forget to take them. If you find that happening, you can always stop taking them for a few weeks to see how life is without them and then decide whether or not to restart.
This is a very individual thing. Some people will notice an effect from the first dose, others may need to take the capsules for a week or more before noticing a difference. If you have been taking the capsules for a week and are not noticing any difference, it may be that you need to increase the dose you are taking to the slightly higher one recommended on the pack. We don’t recommend taking more than four capsules per day of any of our products.
All our blends are vegan, dairy-free, soya free, certified gluten-free and certified kosher.
