Fast Facts
What Is The Apothekary Take The Edge Off Tincture?
The Take the Edge Off tincture is one of several Apothekary blends that work as a stress reliever.
Its also recommended as a wine replacement because it tastes light and refreshing.
One of the main ingredients is passionflower, a plant that helps reduce anxiety bycalming your nervous system.
Also in the blend isoatstraw, another plant thats a potent antioxidant that improves the bodys response to stress.
As a bonus, these fruits just so happen to bepacked with antioxidantsand vitamins, too.
How Does It Work?
Unlike something you have to digest, it means youll feel the relaxing effects almost immediately.
To fill the dropper, dip it fully into the bottle and squeeze to fill.
(One dropper equals one milliliter.)
If youre super stressed, you could take up to three full droppers once a day.
First Impression
I first tried Take the Edge Off one evening after work.
I added an ice cube (dont @ me) and kept sipping.
It reminded me ofmelatonin gummiesorCBD, even though it doesnt work in the same way.
And thats a win.
The flavor combo with the lime created a sweet, crisp beverage that I enjoyed sipping slowly.
This is especially true if youre pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
Personally, I wouldnt recommend using this tincture if youre about to drive, just to be safe.
Take the Edge Off has a nice, light taste that makes me not miss my go-to wine.
Ill definitely be keeping it in my self-care rotation.
