Making a cuppa can be quite therapeutic in itself, but there are a few herbal blends that can help you relax, reduce stress and encourage a more restful night’s sleep.
Peppermint or Spearmint Tea.
Peppermint and Spearmint tea are naturally caffeine free, and as a bonus, contains a compound called menthol which is a natural muscle relaxant. They are fabulous for digestion and for clearing excess toxins and hormones from the Liver.
Chamomile Tea.
A well-known and commonly used herbal tea, Chamomile does not contain caffeine and may help to relieve stress and sleeplessness. It is a calming tea that can be consumed in the day or the night.
Lemon Balm Tea.
Lemon Balm tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea that may help to promote calmness, reduce anxiety and stress and support a restful sleep.
Lavender Tea.
Lavender tea is caffeine free and may help to soothe restlessness, anxiety and insomnia. And it smells amazing too!
Passion Flower Tea.
Passion Flower tea is a natural sedative for the nervous system and a great caffeine free way to reduce anxiety and stress and support a relaxing deep sleep.
Green Tea.
Green tea is not a herbal tea, and does contain caffeine, so it’s best to have your Green tea in the morning. Green tea contains a nutrient called L-Theanine which helps you relax and reduces stress. Green tea is a good substitute when trying to reduce your black tea and coffee intake. It also relaxes the digestive tract aiding digestion.
Tea is a lovely adjunct when treating clients for stress, adrenal depletion, insomnia, anxiety and even different forms of grief. Serving tea is ritualistic by nature and offers such a lovely, warm and soothing form of alternative hydration during these cold and winter months. A twist of lemon and some grated ginger or honey are tasty additions. Tea doesn’t have to be boring. Whether you are trying to kick a coffee habit or not - give some of these a try.
