Eden's Steady Ground Tea

How To Brew It

This is a loose-leaf blend. Since the herbs may settle between uses, mix or shake the container well before measuring each dose to ensure a consistent blend in every cup.

• Use 1 heaping teaspoon of herbs per cup (8 oz) of water.

• For a stronger brew, increase to 2 heaping teaspoons.

• Place herbs in a tea infuser or directly in your mug.

• Heat water to just before boiling, then pour over herbs.

• Cover to preserve essential oils and aromatic benefits.

• Steep for 10-12 minutes.

• Strain, sweeten with honey if desired, and enjoy.

When To Take It

Timing Matters:

• Morning (Essential): Sets a calm, grounded tone for your nervous system before the demands of the day begin.

• Midday (Recommended): A second cup in the midday interrupts stress accumulation before it builds into tension, head pressure, or overwhelm.

• Consistently, every day: The adaptogenic and tonic herbs in this formula deliver their deepest benefits with consistent daily use. Benefits build gradually over time.

For Acute Stress and Tension:

• If you feel tension building, brew a cup before it fully sets in. The earlier you catch it, the more effectively the nervine herbs in this formula can support you. For tension headaches, brew a strong cup using 2 heaping teaspoons, cover while steeping, and inhale the steam slowly when you lift the lid.

For Resilience-Building:

• Use twice daily for at least several days to begin integrating the herbs into your system. The immediate effects are noticeable, but the deeper shifts, nervous system steadiness between stressors and not just during them, begin to emerge with consistent use.

For Sustained Capacity-Building:

• Continue daily use for 4-6 weeks. Adaptogens like holy basil require time to support a healthy stress response and build adrenal resilience. This is the tier of benefit most people need: not relief from one hard day, but a nervous system that no longer collapses under ordinary pressure.

Safe for Long-Term Use

• Steady Ground is designed for daily, ongoing use. These herbs are tonics and adaptogens. The longer and more consistently you use them, the more profound the benefit. This is not a formula you outgrow. It is one that grows with you.

Tips Worth Knowing for Herbal Teas

• For optimum flavor, use distilled or spring water.

• Store herbs in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to extend shelf life.

• You can add more herbs to make a stronger brew.

• Steady Ground Tea can be brewed hot and poured over ice for a cool, refreshing serving. Brew at double strength: 2 heaping teaspoons per 8-oz cup to account for dilution. Do not reduce steep time.

• Teas can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 48 hours.

• Brewed loose-leaf herbs can be reused the same day, though a longer steep time may be needed to draw out the remaining benefit. The flavor profile will change, but many people enjoy their second or third brew.

• Best when used within one year of opening. Use your senses as your guide: if the color has faded significantly or the aroma is no longer present, it is time to replace.

• As with most herbal formulas used long-term, periodic breaks are recommended as good practice. After 3 months of consistent daily use, consider taking a 1-2 week break before continuing. This supports your body's responsiveness to the herbs over time. Consult your practitioner for personalized cycling guidance.
