Be Still My Heart Elixir

An herbal ally for the physical, emotional, and spiritual heart.

The heart does more than keep rhythm. It responds to stress, love, grief, joy, disappointment, connection, and all the tender, complicated business of being human.

Be Still My Heart is a thoughtfully crafted blend of traditional heart and nervous system herbs designed to support healthy circulation, vascular tone, and the connection between the nervous system and the heart. It is equally an elixir for the emotional heart—created to help us soften without losing our strength, remain open without abandoning our boundaries, and meet life from a steadier and more loving place.

This formula may be especially supportive during seasons of stress, grief, transition, emotional tenderness, or those times when the body feels as though it is holding everything tightly around the heart.

The Plant Allies

Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa)

Ruby-red Hibiscus is rich in naturally occurring anthocyanins and is traditionally used to support healthy circulation, vascular tone, and cardiovascular wellness. Its tart, cooling nature brings brightness and movement to the formula.

Emotionally, Hibiscus reminds us that caring for the heart is not only about calming it—it is also about allowing pleasure, beauty, passion, and vitality to return. It cools the overheated heart and invites us back into the sweetness of being alive.

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.)

Hawthorn is one of Western herbalism’s most revered heart tonics. Traditionally used to support the heart and blood vessels, it helps maintain healthy circulation and cardiovascular function while offering gentle, long-term nourishment to the physical heart.

Hawthorn is also a profound ally for the emotional heart. A tree with both blossoms and thorns, it teaches us that an open heart still needs protection and wise boundaries. Hawthorn is traditionally called upon during grief, heartache, disappointment, and times when we are learning how to love without losing ourselves.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)

Lemon Balm is a gentle nervous system tonic traditionally used to ease mild mental stress, support restful sleep, and soothe digestive tension associated with worry. Within this formula, it helps settle the nervous system so the heart does not have to carry every demand as an emergency.

On the emotional level, Lemon Balm brings lightness, peace, and playfulness. It helps us remember the inner child when adulting has become far too serious and invites a little humor back into the room.

Linden (Tilia spp.)

With its heart-shaped leaves and honey-sweet flowers, Linden has a long tradition of supporting both the physical and emotional heart. It is used to soothe nervous tension, soften the muscular bracing that can accompany stress, and support comfortable circulation.

Emotionally, Linden feels like being held beneath a generous old tree. It offers gentleness when life feels heavy and helps us feel safe enough to exhale, soften, and receive support.

Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)

Motherwort has traditionally been used for nervous tension felt in and around the heart, including occasional awareness of the heartbeat after serious causes have been ruled out by a medical professional. Its Latin name, Leonurus cardiaca, translates roughly to “lion-hearted,” beautifully reflecting its affinity for the heart.

Emotionally, Motherwort is the fierce mothering plant. She helps us gather ourselves when we feel scattered, strengthen our boundaries when we have given too much away, and offer ourselves the same steady care we so readily give to others.

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata)

Passionflower is traditionally used to relieve mild mental stress and support restful sleep. It is especially beloved when the mind is circling, the nervous system cannot find the off switch, or tension makes it difficult to settle into the body.

Emotionally and spiritually, Passionflower teaches surrender—not giving up, but releasing the illusion that we can control every outcome. It helps quiet the noise so we can hear the quieter wisdom underneath it.

The Heart of the Formula

Together, these plants help us tend the heart as both an organ and a sacred center. Be Still My Heart supports adults who wish to maintain cardiovascular and nervous system wellness while cultivating a heart that is steady, protected, open, and capable of meeting self and others with love.
