This blend naturally contains MAOI’s and is the backbone of many pharmaceutical drugs for anxiety and depression. Syrian Rue has shown results increasing Neurogenesis. This is the ability for the brain to create new neural pathways. From a physiological level, our brains repeat about 90% of the thoughts we had the day prior – even if they were stressful, sad or anxious. By breaking this thought pattern cycle, we allow our minds to think of things differently.
With the help of Syrian Rue and its neurogenic properties combined with the Egyptian Blue Lotus Stamen – a serotonin and dopamine modulator – you get a powerful synergy that can help rewire the brain and escape chronic thought patterns and understand deeper parts of the mind. This works on a 1-2 dropper dose. At higher doses it can act as a potent aphrodisiac and is recommended for couples in exploring deeper levels of intimacy. After all, Bes is known as the Egyptian god of Fertility and protector of families.

The Three Treasures is one of our most potent and nutritive blends. Based on the Daoist Philosophy of Jing, Qi and Shen – this blend is highly nourishing, slightly stimulating and also grounding.
In Daoist philosophy, true vitality arises from balancing the Three Treasures: Jing, Qi, and Shen. Jing and Qi combine to create Shen. All three can be nourished by only 22 tonic herbs known as a forgotten nutrition group. The philosophy can be explained in metaphor to a candle.
Candle Wax – Jing (our essence)
Flame – Qi (Our vitality)
Radiance – Shen (Our spirit)
By supporting Jing- our essential life force that is used to transmute energy (food and air) into our impact on the world around us while stimulating our Qi we can create more Shen otherwise known as our radiance into the world. This shen is then grounded, creating an energized body and soul and a grounded and thoughtful mind.
