Drinking tea with adaptogenic herbs such as Tulsi can also help the body adapt to physical, emotional and environmental stress. This herb supports healthy cortisol levels and works to balance the body to mitigate the body’s stress response. It can also work to create a general sense of wellbeing, boosting energy and enhancing focus.
Tulsi can be found as the main ingredient in Organic Merchant’s Meditation Tea combined with yerba mate (which is known to calm the mind) gota kola, basil and rose petals.
Herbs to promote Quality Sleep
Chronic sleep deprivation can become a common side effect of being a parent. A study published in 2019 found that for both parents, sleep still hadn’t returned to normal six years after having their first child. Drinking a calming, sleep-inducing tea before bed might help.
Chamomile is known as a mild sedative and sleep-inducing plant due to the flavonoid apigenin creating the feeling of sleepiness and may help you fall asleep faster. Drinking herbal tea like Organic Merchant’s Restful Tea about 45 minutes before bed will give your body enough time to metabolise the tea, and the chemical compounds that cause those sedative feelings to kick in.
This blend combines chamomile with lemon balm, passionflower, lemon verbena and lavender. Both lemon balm and lavender work as an anxiolytic (an anxiety reliever) and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep. Lemon verbena is also rich in melatonin, a hormone in our bodies that and causes you to become sleepy.
Herbs for General Wellness and Vitality
An important part of being a parent is looking after yourself too. When you feel well, rested and relaxed, you’re better able to cope with the challenges that come with raising little people.
Drinking tea has been considered a health-promoting habit for thousands of years and has been shown to be a cost-effective and enjoyable therapeutic alternative to pharmacological treatments.
