🌿 Formula No. 9 – Cephalica Lenitiva
“Gentle Relief of the Head” – Herbal Comfort for Headaches & Migraines
From The Apothecary of the Botanical Physician
An exclusive line by The Herb Peddler, based on historical uses of medicinal herbs.
Cephalica Lenitiva is a calming, time-honored blend to ease tension and clear the mind.
Cephalica Lenitiva combines three well-known botanicals used by traditional herbalists to soothe headaches, migraines, and nervous irritation. Feverfew is a classic remedy for migraines of vascular origin. Mugwort supports circulation, particularly when tension or hormonal shifts are involved. Catnip gently calms the nerves and digestive tract, often relieving associated symptoms like nausea or stress-related headache.
🌿 Ingredients:
Mugwort Leaf (Artemisia vulgaris) – Supports healthy circulation, eases tension, and calms overactive nerves.
Feverfew Leaf (Tanacetum parthenium) – Time-honored support for migraines and vascular headaches.
Catnip Leaf & Flower (Nepeta cataria) – Gentle nervine and digestive soother; calms stress and eases cramping.
🫖 How to Use:
Steep 1–2 tsp in 8 oz of hot water, covered, for 10–15 minutes.
Drink at the onset of symptoms, or daily for 7–10 days during times of frequent headaches or nervous tension.
Optional: Add a few drops of lemon or honey for taste. Best taken warm and sipped slowly in a quiet space.
Historic Inspiration:
Herbal physicians of the 18th and 19th centuries viewed headaches not as isolated events, but as signs of imbalance—often in the circulation, digestion, or nerves. Cephalica Lenitiva reflects that holistic wisdom, combining herbs once found in the pocket satchels and medicine chests of country doctors and midwives alike.
⚜️ Apothecary Note:
This gentle formula is ideal for both acute use and preventative support. It may be especially beneficial for those prone to migraines triggered by hormonal changes, weather shifts, or digestive sluggishness.
🌼 What to Expect:
Flavor: Lightly bitter, herbaceous, with a soft minty finish
