Blue vervain (Verbena hastata) is one of the most potent herbs for stress and nervous system support – commonly used to soothe nervousness and anxiety and assist in moving out of a freeze and/or depressive state.
 
The compounds in vervain have a mild sedative effect without the drowsiness, making it helpful for improving sleep and inducing relaxation. Vervain’s ability to balance the autonomic nervous system makes it an effective natural solution for those experiencing prolonged periods of burnout, exhaustion, and the negative effects of long-term stress.  
 
By helping the body cope with stress, vervain regulates cortisol levels and supports adrenal health, which positively influences hormone balance.

Why It’s Included:  
 
Low mood, irritability, and mood swings can be experienced during periods of hormonal fluctuations, which is why it’s crucial to increase nervous system support. Vervain’s ability to regulate the nervous system may help reduce the severity of these symptoms, especially during PMS, menopause, or when discontinuing the use of birth control.
