Your Nightly Ritual for Deep Rest
In our fast-paced world, quieting the mind before bed is often the hardest part of the day. Dream Balm is a luxurious, transdermal magnesium formula designed to be your signal to the body that it is time to slow down. This isn't just a moisturizer; it is a grounding ritual in a jar. By massaging this rich, herbal-infused balm into your skin, you invite a sense of tranquility that melts away the tension of the day and prepares your spirit for restorative sleep.
 
We crafted this balm for the restless sleepers, the over-thinkers, and anyone who struggles to switch off. It bridges the gap between skincare and sleep hygiene, delivering essential minerals and calming botanicals directly through the skin. The act of applying it—feeling the rich texture and inhaling the grounding scent—becomes a moment of mindfulness, helping you transition from the busyness of "doing" to the peace of "being."
 
Nature's Sedatives for Skin and Spirit
This formula blends the physical relaxation benefits of topical magnesium with a sophisticated profile of nerve-soothing herbs from both Western and Eastern traditions.
 
Why it works:
Magnesium for Muscle Tension: At the core of this formula is Magnesium Chloride, often called the "relaxation mineral." When applied topically, it helps to soothe tight muscles and calm nervous energy, physically relaxing the body to prepare for rest.
Deep Sleep Herbs: We infuse this balm with Valerian Root, Mugwort, and Lemon Balm—a trio of herbs legendary for their ability to promote deep, dream-rich sleep and quiet a racing mind.
Cooling and Calming: To settle agitation and "heat" that can disturb sleep, we include Chi Shao (Red Peony Root) and Chamomile. These botanicals work to cool the blood and soothe irritability.
Rich Hydration: Sleep is a time for repair. A decadent base of Organic Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, and Olive Oil deeply nourishes the skin overnight, ensuring you wake up feeling soft and hydrated.
Aromatherapeutic Peace: The soothing scent of Lavender Oil acts as an immediate olfactory cue for relaxation, helping to lower stress levels the moment you open the jar.
 
A Holistic Approach to Rest
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we believe that good sleep is the foundation of all healing. Dream Balm is designed to be a cornerstone of your nightly wind-down routine. It supports the body's natural circadian rhythms, helping you reclaim the restorative power of rest without the grogginess of internal sleep aids.
 
How to Use
Massage into skin 30 minutes before bed as part of your wind-down routine.
Apply: Scoop a small amount of balm and warm it between your hands.
Massage: Focus on areas where you hold tension, such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back. It is also highly effective when massaged into the soles of the feet (cover with socks if desired).
Breathe: As you massage, take deep, slow breaths to inhale the calming aroma and signal your nervous system that it is time to sleep.
