The Growing Demand for Natural Stress Relief
Let's face it—life can be stressful. We're constantly juggling work, relationships, and responsibilities, all while dealing with an overload of information and daily pressures. With stress management becoming more crucial than ever, many people are seeking natural ways to find occasional relief. Consumers are turning to plant-based supplements like CBD, kava, and adaptogens which have become popular for their many calming benefits. These natural options often offer a calming effect with few unwanted side effects. One great example is our feel free CLASSIC tonic, a blend of kava and other botanicals that promote relaxation.
How Plant-Based Supplements Help with Occasional Stress
When you’re experiencing a moment of stress, your body ramps up its production of cortisol, a hormone tied to the "fight-or-flight" reaction. Supplements like kava and adaptogens can help soothe these responses, promoting calmness without making you feel drowsy. These plants contain natural compounds, like kavalactones, that support a balanced, relaxed state of mind, helping to ease you through some of those more stressful days.
CBD: A Popular Choice for Calm
CBD, short for cannabidiol, comes from the cannabis plant and is known for its soothing effects. Unlike THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD won’t get you high, making it a safe option for occasional stress relief. It works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood and stress levels.[1] Studies show that CBD can calm the nervous system, helping you feel more relaxed.[1]
Kava: Nature’s Chill Pill
Kava is a natural plant that’s roots have been used for centuries in Pacific Island cultures to promote relaxation and social connection. It works by interacting with GABA receptors in the brain, which help you feel calm, but it doesn’t make you groggy like other calming ingredients.[2] Research also suggests that kava supports feelings of balance and mental clarity, making it a go-to natural choice for occasional stress relief.[2]
Other Plant-Based Stress Solutions
Adaptogens like rhodiola and lion’s mane mushrooms are also gaining traction. These natural wonders may help balance stress hormones, improve mood, and boost mental clarity. Studies show that adaptogens contain compounds that regulate cortisol levels, enhance well-being, and provide mental clarity in a gentle, non-intrusive way.[4] Adding adaptogens to your life can be an easy way to support a calmer mindset.
Why feel free Tonic Stands Out

It’s a plant-based, high-quality alternative that can leave you feeling a little more at ease even during your most stressful days.
