If your nervous system had a mood ring… what colour would it glow today? 🌈

Maybe your thoughts are racing, and your heart’s fluttering like a trapped bird. Or perhaps you’re frozen in a fog, scrolling for comfort but finding none. You might feel snappy and overstimulated… or constantly people-pleasing, unsure where you begin and end.

At Enchanted Garden, we believe your tea ritual should meet you exactly where you are. That’s why we created the Core 4 Nervous System Blends, a premium collection of herbal teas, each crafted to support a unique nervous system response: Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn.

Let’s discover which blend your body is craving today.

🕊️ FLIGHT MODE: “I can’t slow down!”

Signs:

Racing thoughts
Restless body
Constant busyness
Feeling panicked or like you’re running from something

What’s happening: Your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic overdrive. Cortisol is high, your heart races, and digestion slows. You feel wired but tired, like bees buzzing in your brain and caffeine coursing through your veins. Even when you're exhausted, you can't seem to stop.

🍵 Best Herbal Tea for Flight Mode: Sleepy Sloth

This dreamy, calming tea blend says: “Hey little leafling, it’s safe to rest now.” Crafted with nervine herbs like chamomile, skullcap, passionflower, lavender, peppermint, and lemon balm, Sleepy Sloth grounds your energy and soothes that hyper-vigilant buzz.

Perfect for: Anxiety, insomnia, nervous energy

Message from the Sloth: “Slow down, breathe. It’s okay to be still.”

🔥 FIGHT MODE: “Everything feels like too much!”

Signs:

Irritability or outbursts
Muscle tension, clenched jaw
A need to control everything
Emotional intensity or reactivity

What’s happening: Your system is in fight response, reactive, inflamed, and emotionally overloaded. This isn’t just a bad mood; it’s your body protecting you. But living in survival mode can burn you out fast.

🍵 Best Herbal Tea for Fight Mode: Raging Rhino

Raging Rhino is your fiery BFF with a cooling touch. With herbs like hibiscus, lemon balm, ginger root, rose buds, skullcap, and chamomile, it helps regulate the intensity without suppressing it, so you can soften without shutting down.

Perfect for: PMS rage, burnout, emotional overwhelm

Message from the Rhino: “You’re safe now. You don’t need to fight.”

🧊 FREEZE MODE: “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

Signs:

Emotional numbness
Brain fog or dissociation
Lack of motivation
Feeling shut down or emotionally flat

What’s happening: Your system has shifted into dorsal vagal shutdown, resulting in low energy and low mood, often misunderstood as laziness or apathy. But freeze is a trauma response too, one that signals overwhelm and exhaustion.

🍵 Best Herbal Tea for Freeze Mode: Positivity Piglet

This blend is like sunlight breaking through a foggy window. Featuring lemon balm, chamomile, licorice root, hibiscus, and rose petals, Positivity Piglet gently warms the system, uplifts your mood, and brings softness back online.

Perfect for: Winter blues, emotional shutdown, chronic stress

Message from the Piglet: “It’s safe to feel again. Let’s warm up your world.”

🫶 FAWN MODE: “I’ll be okay if everyone else is.”

Signs:

People-pleasing
Anxiety around others’ opinions
Over-apologizing, over-accommodating
Feeling invisible in your own life

What’s happening: You’re still in a sympathetic state, but instead of fleeing or fighting, your system fawns, putting others first to maintain safety. It looks like kindness on the outside but often comes with self-abandonment.

🍵 Best Herbal Tea for Fawn Mode: Soothed Serpent

With peppermint, chamomile, licorice root, marshmallow root, fennel seed, and ginger, this blend helps you return to yourself. It soothes internal chaos and digestion, strengthens boundaries, and reminds you: you matter too.

Perfect for: Social anxiety, emotional boundaries, burnout

Message from the Serpent: “You don’t have to shapeshift to be loved. Just breathe.”

🌱 The Power of Tea Rituals
