Apothekary's most requested herbal blend: Stop Your Wine-ing, an alcohol alternative. Rich in anxiety-reducing herbs and great for the gut, this blend is reminiscent of your favorite red wine, without the hangover and sugar. We're team bliss > booze. Note: this blend features herbs that are not safe for pregnancy. If you're expecting (congrats!) try Meet My Wombmate for a great alcohol alternative.
WHAT IT DOES:
This blend is intended to address chronic, mild anxiety and calm the chest-tightening feeling of being frazzled from stress. The functional herbs in Stop Your Wine-ing, while powerful, aren't sedative in small doses, so you can use this blend any time of day to take the edge off. Stop Your Wine-ing provides calm vibes and supports anxiety reduction in the moment (versus the adaptogenic herbs in Chill The F* Out that work best when used overtime to train the body’s stress response system).
WHAT’S IN IT:
This blend is loaded with Aronia and Acai berries, which contain the same heart-healthy polyphenols as red wine, but have an antioxidant concentration 10 times higher, and contain about 10-30 times the amount of anthocyanins. Jujube Date is also loaded with antioxidants, while packing a mean Vitamin C punch to support the immune system. Jujube dates have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to lift the mood, address anxiety, and support restful sleep. Motherwort is a powerful nervine that soothes the nervous system to address anxiety and calm the mind. MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides) is derived from coconut oil, and is a healthy fat that nourishes a frayed nervous system, supports hormone regulation, aids digestion, and boosts the metabolism.
TASTE LIKE:
The antioxidant-rich berries and Jujube date provide a little natural sweetness, while Motherwort provides some bitter notes, reminiscent of wine’s complexity of flavors.
PAIRS WELL WITH:
This is a versatile blend that can be enjoyed in a base of warm milk (dairy or plant based) with a little maple syrup to create a cozy elixir. It also pairs well with cranberry and tart cherry juice, if you want to make a mocktail that is similar to wine.
DOSE WITH:
Do Not Disturb, Schisandra Berry or Astragalus,

This blend is great as an alcohol replacement in the evening to help take the edge off the day. The Motherwort and Jujube Date in this blend are nervines that address anxiety while also being mild sedatives. You will feel calming vibes upon consumption of this blend. For some people, Stop Your Wine-ing will simply provide an anti-anxiety type calm, while others may be more sensitive and find this blend makes them sleepy. Stop Your Wine-ing is not a sedative like Do Not Disturb, but it can help calm the body to support sleep, especially when nighttime anxiety is preventing you from getting some Zzz’s.
