1oz l 30ml
Somatic Rest helps the body release the physical state of wakefulness, easing accumulated tension and supporting an overworked nervous system to find rest. Therapeutic aromatics, herbal nervines and sedatives, and the ritual of touch invite the body back into itself, allowing it to soften, settle, and remember that it is safe to rest.
SENSORY PROFILE
How it feels: a buttery and velvety smooth balm that glides effortlessly over skin
How it smells: a moss-filled forest floor, earthy roots, medicinal herbal notes
LAVENDER
This familiar aromatic flower quiets the mind and nerves. After a full day of stimulation, Lavender calms mental chatter and a tense nervous system. This herbal sedative is grown and distilled on the biodynamic Laurel Skin farm.
PASSIONFLOWER
A well-loved herbal nervine and antispasmodic, Passionflower gently eases muscle tension and encourages the body to let go, supporting longer, more restful sleep.
VALERIAN
An earthy sedative root that grounds us back into the body. As muscles soften and grow heavier, the body drops into deeper, more restorative rest.
CLARY SAGE
A deeply somatic plant with an impact on the HPA axis, restoring balance when stress hormones have pulled us too far from our center.
MILKY OATS + PUMPKIN SEED
Together, these deeply nourishing plants replenish the nervous system with whole-plant magnesium alongside naturally occurring nutrients like tryptophan and melatonin, creating a complete botanical approach to rest.
