Rooted in Relaxation: Techniques and Tea Blends for Nervous System Regulation

Join us at Atlantic Gardening to explore nervous system regulation: what it is, why it’s important to our health, and practical techniques to incorporate it into your daily life. We will discuss why chronically being in a fight or flight state can lead to widespread health problems and burnout. In our hustle culture that glorifies productivity, nervous system regulation is a great antidote to an anxious mind and chronic stress. It gives us a way to reset, tune into our bodies and emotions, and slow down. We will then discuss herbal allies in the nervine class to support us in calming down the nervous system. You will have the opportunity to taste these herbs and blend your own custom tea blend to take home! The act of blending your own loose-leaf teas with quality ingredients is a mindful practice and when we combine that with the amazing support these herbs can give us, we have a powerful and magical antidote to our everyday anxious mind.
