Getting enough sleep is very important for our health. How you spend your evenings and what you drink and eat can play a huge role in the quality of your sleep.
Tea can be your new savior for sleep. But not all types of tea help to relax.
Teas such as green, black and white tea contain caffeine. Instead, herbal teas are made from the roots, seeds, flowers, and fruits of other plants and such a drink does not contain caffeine. This tea is the one to stop at.
Teas that will help you relax:
Camomile
Scientific studies have shown that chamomile has a sedative effect, so it can help you fall asleep. Apigenin is an antioxidant compound found in chamomile that has a calming effect on the central nervous system.
Mint tea, lemon balm
Peppermint tea is known to help with digestive issues such as gas and bloating, and may also improve sleep disturbances. One study found that lemon balm supplementation may reduce depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep disturbances in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris.
Valerian root
Valerian root has been used for centuries and is known for its calming effects. Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of valerian root for sleep problems, including insomnia, and improving sleep quality.
Lavender
Various studies have shown a link between lavender and sleep quality. Lavender can stimulate the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Lavender also has a calming effect.
