These alcohol-free herbal glycerite remedies are steeped in glycerin for 8–10 weeks, triple-strained, and crafted with care. Perfect for those who want something gentle, sweet, and effective. Here’s the lineup:
🌿 Migraine Herbal Glycerite
"For when your skull feels like a drum circle without the rhythm."
Crafted with fresh Feverfew, a herb known for centuries to reduce migraine frequency and severity. Feverfew contains parthenolide, a compound shown to help modulate blood vessel tone and inflammation.
Dosage: 1–2 mL (approximately 30–60 drops) up to twice per day. Consistency is key; not recommended for acute migraine onset.
Ingredients: Fresh Feverfew, vegetable glycerin, distilled water.
Scientific Note: Clinical trials have demonstrated that daily use of Feverfew can reduce migraine occurrence and severity by inhibiting serotonin release and prostaglandin production.
🌿 Bloating Relief Herbal Glycerite
"Because sometimes your stomach acts like a drama queen."
Yarrow is an herbal powerhouse known for its digestive soothing properties and ability to calm excess gas and bloating. It helps tone the digestive tract and may ease mild cramping.
Dosage: 1–2 mL (30–60 drops) after meals or as needed.
Ingredients: Dried Yarrow Leaf (Achillea millefolium), vegetable glycerin, distilled water.
Scientific Note: Yarrow has been used traditionally for gastrointestinal complaints, with modern studies confirming its antispasmodic, carminative, and anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive tract.
🌿 Lavender Herbal Glycerite
"Calm in a bottle."
Lavender isn’t just for pillows. This sweet floral remedy may promote relaxation, reduce nervous tension, and soothe anxious energy. A great herbal companion for quiet evenings and anxious days.
Dosage: 1–2 mL (30–60 drops) as needed, up to 3x per day.
Ingredients: Lavender buds (Lavandula angustifolia), vegetable glycerin, distilled water.
Scientific Note: Lavender has been studied for its anxiolytic properties. Linalool and linalyl acetate, two active components, act on the parasympathetic nervous system to help reduce cortisol and promote calm.
🌿 Lavender + Chamomile Herbal Glycerite
"Nap vibes without the nap."
A warm hug in a bottle. Chamomile calms the digestive and nervous system, while Lavender grounds your breath. This blend is especially useful for tension, restlessness, and bedtime prep.
Dosage: 1–2 mL (30–60 drops) up to 3x per day or 30 minutes before sleep.
Ingredients: Lavender buds, Chamomile flowers (Matricaria recutita), vegetable glycerin, distilled water.
Scientific Note: Chamomile has been widely studied for its sedative and antispasmodic properties. Apigenin, a flavonoid found in chamomile, binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain to support sleep and relaxation.
🌿 Lemon Balm Herbal Glycerite
"For when your thoughts won’t stop scrolling."
Lemon Balm is a gentle, calming herb known to support mood and soothe anxious tension without sedation. Often used for stress relief, nervous restlessness, and mild sleep issues.
Dosage: 1–2 mL up to 3x daily.
Ingredients: Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), vegetable glycerin, distilled water.
Scientific Note: Studies suggest Lemon Balm can positively impact mood, cognitive function, and anxiety symptoms by influencing GABA receptor activity and modulating acetylcholine levels.
🌿 Blackberry Leaf Herbal Glycerite
"Tame the tummy, support the cycle."
Traditionally used for digestive upset, mild diarrhea, and menstrual cramping, Blackberry Leaf offers astringent and anti-inflammatory support. It’s a go-to for settling unsettled guts or soothing PMS tension.
Dosage: 1–2 mL as needed.
