Our version of a sleepy time tea. This blend is relaxing for the body, peaceful for the mind and a delicious way to follow-up dinner.
I especially created this for my evening nursing sessions with my daughter. The ingredients are excellent for milk flow and teething infants. That being said, this is also one of Brian's favourite evening teas, because it does wonders to let go of a hard day's work.
Ingredient Highlights:
- Organic chamomile is a calmative and nervine, so used for irritability, discomfort, restlessness and anxiety. It is an excellent milk boosting herb, and through this will aid teething and colicky infants.
- Organic calendula is a natural anti-inflammatory both topically for eruptions, wounds, burns, acne, rashes and internally for pain, arthritis, and cramps.
- NIH grown stinging nettle is a nutritive, a whole body nourisher.
- Organic oatstraw is a nervine, releasing tensions, worries, aches and pains.
- Wild horsetail is a source of trace minerals, and promotes hydration while flushing the system.
- Organic rooibos for flavour and antioxidants.
- Organic lavender is a nervine, its natural fragrance and essential oils are an antidepressant used for relaxation and digestive ease.
- Organic ashwagandha is an adaptogen known to balance cortisol in the body, resulting in balanced stress response. Ashwagandha is often added to sleep and recovery blends due to the roots' ability to promote restful and deep sleep.
- Organic valerian is a sedative plant commonly used for insomnia. The root is used for deep and unbroken REM sleep, for this it is also known as a 'hypnotic'. It does not taste pleasant, but this potent bitter works wonders!
