Breakdown Herbal Tincture

Bacopa, also known as Brahmi in Ayurveda, is a nootropic and nervine traditionally used to support memory, concentration, nervous system resilience, and healthy digestion. Its bacosides have been studied for their effects on neuronal signaling, oxidative stress, and cognitive function, while its traditional use extends to digestive support and states of mental agitation and nervous exhaustion. In Breakdown, Brahmi supports cognitive function, nervous system regulation, and the relationship between mental stress and digestive function.

Zingiber officinale

Ginger is a warming carminative, circulatory stimulant, and anti-inflammatory herb with a strong affinity for the digestive system. Its characteristic pungent constituents, including gingerols and shogaols, have been studied for their influence on inflammatory signaling, gastrointestinal motility, nausea, and pain, while helping stimulate digestive activity, relieve gas and stagnation, and promote circulation throughout the body. In Breakdown, Ginger encourages movement where there is stagnation, supporting digestion, circulation, and physical recovery.

Stachys officinalis

Wood Betony is a traditional nervine and bitter herb used for nervous tension, digestive weakness, and tension that manifests physically through the head, neck, and body. Its combination of nervine and digestive actions makes it particularly relevant when stress is accompanied by tightness, poor digestion, or difficulty unwinding. In Breakdown, Wood Betony helps connect nervous-system relaxation with digestive and physical release.

Viburnum opulus

Cramp Bark is a classic antispasmodic traditionally used for cramping, spasms, and excessive smooth-muscle tension. Because smooth muscle is also fundamental to the gastrointestinal tract, its antispasmodic action gives it relevance when digestive discomfort involves gripping, cramping, or spasm. In Breakdown, Cramp Bark supports the release of physical tension in both the musculoskeletal and digestive systems.
