# Calming Botanical Elixirs Zend's 'Feel Calm' Liquid Shots are Made with Soothing Kava Kava By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-08-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-shots References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/BF-d-mjnTyu/?taken-by=buddhafullprovisions) & [zen-d](http://zen-d.com/) As well as selling its Liquid Shots in small bottle sizes, Zend also packages its product in large vessels that remind of wine bottles. The 'Feel Calm' Liquid Shots are made from [kava kava](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kavabased-beverages), a root that has been used for centuries as a medicinal aid that boasts [calming effects to relax muscles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nello) and positively alter brain waves in the same way that other soothing medicines can. Zend notes that its all-natural aid is ideal for reducing stress and improving mental clarity, all the while bringing on the feeling of calm. The [soothing shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-and-calm-shot) are sold through establishments in Vancouver, Canada such as the Buddha-Full eatery, which specializes in organic, vegan and gluten-free food, as well as Float House, a floatation therapy center that presents the unique Zend product as a "pre-float elixir." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Botanical Elixirs:** Creating calming liquid shots made from natural ingredients like kava kava. - **Liquid Shot Packaging:** Packaging products in large wine-like bottles for a unique and premium feel. - **Soothing Medicine Alternatives:** Offering all-natural aids to reduce stress and improve mental clarity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage:** Introducing new calming botanical elixirs into the beverage industry. - **Packaging:** Developing innovative packaging solutions for liquid shot products. - **Wellness:** Expanding the market for all-natural, stress-reducing products in the wellness industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Relaxation-Promoting Herbal Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kava-shot.md) - [Soothing Adaptogenic Juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptogenic-juices.md) - [Calming Probiotic-Rich Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-kiwi-melon-probiotic-shot.md) - [Bubbly Kava Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melo.md) - [Calming Ashwagandha-Packed Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supercalm.md) - [Calming Botanical Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanical-waters.md) - [Nourishing Kava Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kava-drink.md) - [Mental Well-Being Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cucumber-mint-mindful-blend.md) - [Relaxation-Inducing Kava Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitra9-1.md)
