The Restorative Benefits of the Herbal Ingredients in Calm Restore

In today's fast-paced world, work-life pressures can cause most of us to experience the feeling of being "wired but tired", fraying on levels of exhaustion, but unable to relax when the moment calls for it.

Several factors can contribute to the feeling of "overwhelm", including ongoing work demands, bodily changes, or simply having too much on our minds. And a far too common question is asked: How do I calm a restless mind and support better sleep? Thus, Calm Restore by Bio Blends was formulated to help soothe a busy mind, ease the nervous system, and support naturally more restorative sleep.

The synergistic blend of 5 botanicals: magnolia, ziziphus, lemon balm, chamomile, and withania (ashwagandha) helps to gently, yet effectively reduce feelings of anxiety, promote relaxation and strengthen your body's response to stress and can be taken during the daytime to help support a steady mood or be taken at night to encourage a deeper, more restful sleep. 

Why Calm Restore Works: The Power of Five Botanicals

Each ingredient in Calm Restore was carefully selected for its evidence-based support for the nervous system and for promoting emotional balance. And because everyone's wellbeing journey is unique, the holistic blend is crafted to address several concerns and pave the way for a more relaxed state of mind. 

1. Magnolia — Calming the Stress Response

A longstanding traditional herbal medicine known for its ability to help soothe the mind and body. Studies have shown that it can reduce feelings of anxiety by regulating the release of stress hormones and supporting the nervous system to tolerate acute stress and ongoing tension better.

2. Ziziphus — Nourishing the Heart & Mind

Ziziphus Jujuba has been used for centuries in Eastern herbal practice to help calm an overactive mind, especially in the evenings, when racing thoughts and overthinking the day's events can interfere with sleep. It is also widely recognised for supporting emotional steadiness and promoting healthy sleep without waking up feeling groggy. 

3. Lemon Balm — Easing Restlessness & Irritability

Melissa officinalis, or lemon balm, is beloved for its uplifting yet calming properties. It supports a peaceful mood, eases irritability, and helps relieve the emotional symptoms that often accompany stress, making it especially valuable during hormonal changes, such as perimenopause.

4. Chamomile — Soothing Mind, Muscles, & Digestion

Matricaria chamomilla is one of the gentlest relaxants nature provides. Its soothing properties are not limited to the mind; they also help relieve physical tension and upset stomachs, two common effects of stress that negatively impact sleep quality. Chamomile's soothing properties make it a great option for children (at the recommended reduced dose).

5. Withania (Ashwagandha) — Strengthening Resilience

Withania somnifera, or ashwagandha, is an adaptogenic plant that helps your body handle stress more efficiently. It encourages hormonal equilibrium, boosts stress tolerance, and supports deeper, restorative sleep. It is beneficial for those who are feeling tired, overstressed, or "running out of steam."

Together, these herbs create a powerful, non-drowsy formula that helps you unwind naturally, day or night.

How Calm Restore Supports Restorative Sleep & Daily Wellbeing

Calm Restore reduces mental chatter, eases physical tension, and supports a regulated nervous system, all fundamental aspects for restorative sleep. While some notice benefits immediately, research suggests the effects become even stronger after consistent use for 2–12 weeks.

This combination is particularly helpful for women experiencing perimenopause, since, during this period, hormonal changes can lead to increased anxiety and sleep disruption.

Suggested Use:

• For daily calm: 1 capsule, 2–3 times per day

• For sleep: 2 capsules, 30 minutes before bed

• Children 8–15: 1 capsule daily

• Teens 15+: adult dosage

If pairing with Meno Ease, reduce Calm Restore to 1 capsule daily.

FAQs

How can I calm an overactive brain at night?

Try a combination of calming herbs (like those in Calm Restore), deep breathing, low lighting, avoiding screens before bed, and journaling your thoughts, along with creating a predictable wind-down routine, to signal safety to your nervous system.

What is the best natural supplement for sleep?

Herbal blends containing calming nervines (such as chamomile and lemon balm) combined with adaptogens (such as withania) are among the most researched and effective options.
