How to Choose Herbs for Mood and Mind

Plants have personalities — some lift the spirit, others steady it.

  • Tulsi (Holy Basil): Bright, clear, centering. Great daily tea.

  • Skullcap: Gentle unwind without grogginess.

  • Lemon Balm: A fragrant mood-brightener for cloudy days.

  • Chamomile: Classic bedtime comfort.

  • Rose Petals: Softens emotional edges; beautiful in blends.

Combine two or three and experiment. Start with one ounce of each and brew small batches. Many customers create custom “mood teas” — a Berkeley tradition of self-care.
