CALM SEAS
When everything feels like a little too much.
Feeling tense, overwhelmed, restless, or like you just can’t seem to settle?
I understand.
Calm Seas was actually the very first remedy I created for myself more than a decade ago. I was looking for something simple and gentle that I could reach for when I needed a little help slowing down and finding my calm.
So I turned to three everyday herbs: chamomile, passionflower, and lavender.
It worked for me.
I made extra. I shared it.
And eventually, that little bottle helped start Binford’s All Naturals.
[ ADD CALM SEAS TO MY ROUTINE ]
1 fl oz (30 mL) • Alcohol-Free • Glycerin-Based • Small Batch
Does this sound familiar?
Some days your mind just doesn’t want to turn off.
You’re overwhelmed. You’re wound up. You’re carrying the entire day around in your shoulders. Maybe you’re exhausted but still having trouble settling down at night.
Sometimes you don’t need another complicated wellness routine.
You just want a little calm.
That’s what Calm Seas was created for.
Calm Seas may help support:
A calmer, more relaxed state
Everyday stress management
Emotional well-being
Relaxation during overwhelming moments
A peaceful bedtime routine
General nervous-system support
Simple support for the days when life gets loud.
Why I Made Calm Seas
Before there were dozens of Binford’s remedies, there was this one.
I wasn’t trying to start a business.
I wasn’t trying to become an herbalist.
I was trying to help myself.
I wanted a simple option made from familiar herbs that I could actually incorporate into everyday life.
Calm Seas became something I reached for myself, then something I made for family and friends, and eventually something customers began reaching for too.
More than a decade later, it’s still here.
And there’s something pretty special to me about that.

What’s Inside?
Nothing mysterious. Just three familiar herbs I’ve worked with for years.
Chamomile
Traditionally used as a gentle calming herb, chamomile is commonly enjoyed as part of relaxation and bedtime routines.
Passionflower
Passionflower has a long history of traditional use for relaxation and supporting a calm state of mind.
Lavender
Probably one of the world’s most recognizable calming plants. Lavender has traditionally been used to promote relaxation and emotional well-being.
And that’s it.
Organic Chamomile
Organic Passionflower
Organic Lavender
Non-GMO Glycerin + Water
No alcohol. No coconut. No soy. No complicated ingredient list.
How I Use It
Shake well before using.
Take 1–2 droppers (30–60 drops), 2–3 times daily or as needed.
Hold under the tongue or along the gumline for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, then swallow.
You can reach for Calm Seas during stressful moments, when you’re feeling wound up, or as part of your evening wind-down routine.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Why Glycerin Instead of Alcohol?
This has been part of the Binford’s philosophy from the beginning.
I chose a glycerin base because I wanted my tinctures to be alcohol-free, approachable, and pleasant to take.
Our glycerin is non-GMO and sustainably sourced, and the formula contains no coconut or soy.
That also makes Calm Seas an alcohol-free option for people who simply don’t want alcohol in their tinctures—including those whose lifestyles or recovery journeys make that especially important.
No big philosophy behind it.
It’s simply how I prefer to make them.
Made the Same Way I Started
Calm Seas isn’t coming off a giant production line.
I still make Binford’s remedies in small batches, with the same hands-on process that started this business more than a decade ago.
I prepare the herbs.
I strain the tinctures.
I bottle them.
I label them.
And I pack your order.
That’s intentional.
Binford’s grew from something I made for myself into something I was fortunate enough to share with other people.
I never want to lose that.
Is Calm Seas Right for You?
If you came up to my table and told me:
“I’ve been overwhelmed lately. I just can’t seem to settle down.”
I’d probably tell you:
“I understand. Calm Seas is where I’d start.”

Or Maybe More Than One Thing Feels Off…
Maybe you’re stressed and your stomach has been acting up.
Maybe you’re overwhelmed and having trouble focusing.
Or maybe lately it feels like your mind, mood, and digestion could all use a little support.
That’s exactly why I brought my original three together.

#1 favorite product of mine as I constantly deal with waves of depression and anxiety as a Scorpio. Let’s just put this out there, I can’t stand taking pills personally and was looking for a natural way to ease through these motions. When Ash sent me my first bottle I was like what is this?!? I can’t lie, I was a bit skeptical but I tried it and pushed myself a little everyday to do more and after only a few days of using the Calm Seas tincture I started to notice a difference and I fell in love. I take half a squirt a day, mixed with some light walks outside under the sun with Mother Nature and I’ve been using this product for over 4 years now and I’m telling you it’s a must try to help walk you through some of the hardest moments in your life! Thanks for your magic love Ash. Oohh I could just squeeze you!!! Stay Blessed and Creative always ❤️

Have been using this tincture since last year. I found this product through a friend & am beyond grateful. I suffer from CPTSD & occasionally get anxiety & panic attacks. I’m not a huge fan of pharmaceuticals & am more into holistic healing. This tincture has def helped immensely. I have been paying it forward and telling all my friends & family. The customer service is also amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable and responds quickly. Def. Recommends to all.

The Calm Seas Anxiety & Calming daytime tincture is one of many shining stars in Binford’s All Natural line of products. I put a half a dropper full under my tongue & breathe it in as i do it. I tilt my head back a little bit once it’s under my tongue & let the liquid hit the back area. I hold it under my tongue for 10 seconds. I feel a wave of calm wash over me. The combo of breathing in the calming lavender & chamomile & it getting it directly into the bloodstream, really works wonders. If you are dealing with stress and/or anxiety that want an alternative to heavy drugs that cause groggyness, this is for you. Don’t hesitate to try. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
I was also sent some of her beautiful soaps & a new product called Lavender Chamomile Lip & Body Salve. I can talk all day about that product. I’m in love!

This is my second time ordering the Calm Seas daytime anxiety tincture. I absolutely love this blend! Actually, I didn’t even get to use as much of the first bottle as I wanted to because my ex boyfriend, who struggles with depression, literally used 3/4 of the tincture within a week! He was so surprised that this blend worked so well lol. I am so thankful for Ashley and her products!
Amy –
These tinctures are in my everyday routine. “calm seas” for when my stress at work goes up and “Brief Relief” for any pain. They taste great and I love to put them in my juice as well.

I will DEFINITELY be purchasing from this wonderful lady and her magical creations again!
