A cup of herbal tea could help you relax and unwind after a hectic day, as it contains the necessary ingredients required to alleviate the symptoms of stress-related issues.
But before you drink your way to calmness, ensure that the concoction does not contain any black tea, cautions Sydney-based naturopath Ghada El-Semaani."Make sure the herbal tea mixtures you choose don't contain any black tea as these contain caffeine and the teas should always be organic where possible," she was quoted as saying by Femail.
Here are five herbal teas one should try:
Chamomile Tea: Chamomile aids sleep and it is one of the easily available herbal infusions available in the market. It helps calm the nervous system and is best consumed before hitting the bed at night.
Besides its calming properties, Chamomile is also known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Ginseng Tea: Ginseng is a bit pricey, bit it is packed with a lot of health benefits. Lowering blood sugar levels and reduced risk of cancer are two of its positive attributes. Ginseng tea also helps in reducing mental stress and those looking to shed weight should include this in their diet.
Peppermint Tea: This healthy concoction is packed with antiocidants, anticancer and antibacterial properties and it is popularly used to support digestive tract health.
Ginger Tea: Ginger tea is packed with a number of disease-fighting antioxidants, and it is known for its ability to stimulate the immune system. This spicy drink is also effective in relieving nausea, and studies have shown that it can alleviate period pain.
Turmeric Tea: Turmeric is known for its immunity boosting properties and it can help wonders for a stressed mind.
"A cup of turmeric tea made with some heated coconut milk and honey at night can work wonders as a relaxant," El-Semaani told Femail.
