Detailed Mechanism Profiles

Understanding "How It Works" based on active compounds.

Peppermint

🌿

Primary Action

Muscle Relaxant & Antispasmodic

Works directly on the physical symptoms of stress. By relaxing smooth muscles, it eases tension headaches and the "tightness" often felt during anxiety.

#Headaches #Tension

Turmeric

💊

Primary Action

Systemic Anti-Inflammatory

Contains Curcumin. By reducing systemic inflammation in the body, it positively influences brain function and mood stability, creating a calmer internal state.

#Mood #BrainHealth

Chamomile

🍵

Primary Action

Sedative Receptor Binding

Contains Apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to specific receptors in the brain (the same ones targeted by anti-anxiety meds) to initiate relaxation and sleep.

#Sleep #Anxiety

Lemon Balm

🍋

Primary Action

GABA Booster

Boosts levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that slows down nerve impulses. This effectively "puts the brakes" on a racing mind without causing heavy drowsiness.

#Tranquility #Stress

Rosemary

🧠

Primary Action

Stimulating & Grounding

Unique among the group for being stimulating yet grounding. It clears mental fog and supports nerve health, providing emotional stability while keeping you alert.

#Focus #Clarity

Diverse Pathways to Calm

Why do we need different herbs? Because "stress" manifests differently in the body. Some herbs target the brain directly (Neurotransmitters), while others target the body (Inflammation & Muscles).

Neurotransmitter Regulation

Lemon Balm & Chamomile modulate brain chemicals like GABA.

Inflammation Reduction

Turmeric targets systemic inflammation that affects mood.

Physical Muscle Relaxation

Peppermint physically eases tension in the body.

Cognitive Support

Rosemary clears the fog for grounded alertness.
