Summary

Daily stress, irregular schedules, and screen exposure can disrupt cortisol rhythms, leaving you wired at night and sluggish in the morning. This article explores how small herbal rituals woven through the day can help signal safety to the nervous system and support a healthier cortisol curve. We look at herbs for morning activation, daytime steadiness, and evening wind-down, always paired with practical behavioural cues. The focus is on rhythm and repetition rather than quick fixes. This guide is especially useful for people who feel “on edge” all day and struggle to switch off at night.
