NATURAL COMPOUNDS FOUND INSIDE
Why Scales of Balance Tea Works
Learn about the natural compounds in our Scales of Balance tea.
-
Valerian's key compound binds to GABA receptors in the brain, quieting the neural overactivity behind anxiety and insomnia.
-
Lemon Balm's primary compound modulates GABAergic, cholinergic, and serotonergic pathways, making it one of the most studied natural anxiolytics in herbal research.
-
Ajo de Monte's organosulfur compounds including allicin and diallyl disulphide purify the blood, reduce blood pressure, and address an overloaded nervous system.
-
Present across all three herbs, flavonoids protect neural tissue from oxidative stress and support the neurotransmitter balance that stable mood depends on.
-
Ajo de Monte contains properties documented as antispasmodic and nervine, used in Amazonian traditional medicine for nervousness, neurosis, nervous shock, and epilepsy.

The Daily Cup
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of Scales of Balance. Turn heat off, cover, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain and drink warm.
Frequency and Timing
When to drink your tea
Always drink one cup 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Valerian and Lemon Balm are evening herbs, their GABA and serotonin-modulating compounds need time to cross the blood-brain barrier before sleep. Do not take in the morning or before driving.
Drink consistently every evening for a minimum of 4 weeks. Anxiety is not a condition that resolves in one night. The combination of Valerian's GABA activation, Lemon Balm's serotonin modulation, and Ajo de Monte's nervous system cleansing builds cumulatively the longer you use it. Remember, lifestyle factors always play an important role.
Drink Zapped In in the morning for clean energy and immune defense. Drink Scales of Balance in the evening to bring your nervous system back down. Morning and evening covered.

What to expect
The Scales of Balance timeline.
You'll notice it takes less time to fall asleep. The racing thoughts that loop at night start to lose their grip. The low-grade anxiety that follows you through the day begins to feel less constant. Your body is receiving the GABA and serotonin support it has been missing.
You experience deeper sleep and relaxed mornings. Your nervous system no longer treats every minor stressor as an emergency.
Many customers describe week four as the first time in years they woke up without immediately feeling the weight of the day ahead.

QUESTIONS?
FAQs: Scales of Balance
Scales of Balance is a three-herb blend designed to quiet anxiety, activate GABA receptors for deeper sleep, purify the blood, and reset a nervous system that has been in chronic overload. It addresses anxiety and insomnia at the neurological level without prescription medication or dependency.
Melatonin signals your body it is time to sleep. Prescription sedatives suppress your nervous system entirely. Scales of Balance works with your brain's natural chemistry - activating GABA, modulating serotonin, and purifying the blood-based tension that keeps your nervous system on high alert.
No. Unlike benzodiazepines and prescription sleep aids, none of the three herbs in this blend create physical dependency or withdrawal. They regulate your nervous system's own chemistry rather than overriding it.
Clinical trials have demonstrated that the combination of Lemon Balm and Valerian is effective at reducing both stress and anxiety during laboratory-induced stress, making this blend one of the few herbal combinations with published research specifically on anxiety relief as well as sleep support.
