Most people do not get enough sleep daily. For the body and brain to function effectively it is recommended by scientists that people should get at least 7 hours of sleep. Without sufficient sleep, the body may endure health conditions such as diabetes, weight gain, hypertension, heart disease or stroke.
Herbal teas used for hundreds of years have helped people sleep and enjoy sweet dreams. The best teas to help with sleep are chamomile, lemon balm, passionflower, melatonin, peppermint, valerian root, tulsi, gotu kola, kava and lavender teas.
The best time to have a warm cup of tea is 20 – 30 minutes before turning in at the end of the day. People enjoy chamomile tea because of its sweet and earthy taste and its beneficial effects on generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). The improved quality of sleep may be the blended ingredients of chamomile, lemongrass, lavender and ashwagandha.
Lemon balm tea assists in reducing stress, anxiety and depression bringing about a calmness that will help anyone to fall asleep. It is 100% organic lemon balm with a fresh lemony flavour with the feeling of relaxation with a dash of honey for sweetness.
Those who battle with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and prefer caffeine-free beverages will enjoy peppermint tea for its muscle relaxant ability accompanied by its delicious fresh minty flavour. Melatonin is a hormone naturally made by the body when sleep approaches and research has proven that melatonin supplements can help manage insomnia and create a better sleep overall.
“Many of the ingredients found in the teas are known to help induce sleep and enable the body to relax, enable a deep comforting sleep, and reduce stress and anxiety. Drinking tea can be a soothing and delicious way to relax at the end of the day and it is a safer way to prescribe medication for conditions like anxiety and stress,” said a company spokesperson of the Ministry of Tea.
With many choices of teas available, it may be slightly challenging to find the one that best suits the need of the person who finds sleeping difficult. The best way to determine the right tea is to look at the problem that causes the fight against a restful night’s sleep. The perfect tea will reduce anxiety and stress, help the person to fall asleep and improve the quality of sleep.
Tea before bed is a great way to start unwinding from a hectic day, it's warm and cosy, especially in winter, promotes sleep and helps the body to prepare for a good night’s rest.
