The Science Behind The Formula
PASSIONFLOWER
Passionflower is a commonly used anxiolytic in herbal medicine, often given to those with anxiety, stress, and even insomnia. Passionflower is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), meaning it affects our neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline. Its effects are calming, especially to a talkative mind.
CALIFORNIAN POPPY
Californian poppy is a scientifically backed anxiolytic, sedative, and analgesic (pain relieving) substance. It is one of the few plants that naturopaths prescribe purely for its pain relieving effects, but it also acts as a relaxant, helping to destress the body and put it in a state of calm.
LEMON BALM
Lemon balm, scientifically known as Melissa officinalis, is most well known for its calming and anti-depressant effects. It is mostly used with mood-related issues, and is highly researched for its anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. It is considered especially useful in acute situations, making it effective as a way to immediately calm the mind.
CHINESE DATE SEED
As a sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic, Chinese date seed has a variety of applications across Western herbal medicine. It is often included in pain relief formulas, as well as those created for mood related issues. It is also often used to treat insomnia in those who struggle to fall asleep.
WHAT STFU MONKEY MIND TEA IS
STFU Monkey Mind Tea is a delicately calming blend of adaptogenic, anxiolytic, and sedative herbs. It is the perfect cup of tea for those who have overactive minds and maladaptive stress responses.

what STFU Monkey Mind Tea is good for
STFU Monkey Mind Tea is good for those who experience mild anxiety, are easily stressed, or who struggle to meditate effectively because of a very talkative mind. STFU Monkey Mind is good for calming nerves, restoring balance to the mind and body, and rejuvenating after stressful experiences.
