Botanical blends have been traditionally used in various cultures to support emotional well-being, including grief and sadness. Herbal medicine systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and Western herbalism often recommend specific plant-based preparations to help soothe the mind and balance emotions during periods of emotional distress. Common ingredients in such blends may include herbs like St. John’s Wort, lemon balm, lavender, chamomile, and rose, all of which are historically associated with calming and uplifting properties.

For example, St. John’s Wort has a long history of use in European folk medicine for “melancholy,” although its effectiveness for major depression has mixed scientific support. Chamomile and lemon balm are frequently used to promote relaxation and reduce mild symptoms of anxiety, which may indirectly support those experiencing sadness. However, most of the evidence for such uses is based on historical texts, anecdotal reports, and traditional practices rather than modern clinical trials specifically targeting grief or profound sadness.

While some individual ingredients in botanical blends have limited scientific evidence for improving mood, the concept of a blend specifically formulated for grief and sadness relies heavily on traditional use. Overall, the evidence supporting botanical blends for this purpose is primarily traditional, with a moderate but not strong basis in clinical research.
