Somnara
Some recipes were never written down. They were whispered.
Forgotten Blends are not simply elixirs—they are echoes.
Stirred from ancient hands, carried across lifetimes,
they are vessels of memory and unspoken truths.
Somnara
Ancient Origin: Unrecorded.
No written origin remains—only whispers at night.
This is not for falling asleep. This is for descending.For when the mind won’t let go, or when the dreams need decoding. It doesn’t sedate—it invites surrender. A lullaby for those who’ve forgotten how to be held by the dark.
It’s not just sleep medicine. It’s ritual descent.
Traditional Properties
These ingredients are chosen not to dull, but to soothe.
Not to erase, but to soften the descent.
They are companions for the liminal, the drifting, and the sacred unraveling of night.
This is not a sedative—it is a guide.
A blend woven for those who linger between worlds, for those who dream with purpose.
To surrender, not escape. To feel, not forget…
