A cup of tea before bed can be an amazing tool to help you sleep better at night. Below are a few amazing teas that I cycle through, that have helped me have a better nights sleep.
Tea is great whether it's summer or winter. Drink it hot or iced.....
But first of all let's talk...honey...
HONEY
A KEY INGREDIENT to add to your tea to help you sleep is raw honey!! YES HONEY!
The sugar in honey IS NOT like processed sugar. It gives the brain the glucose that it feeds on (not fat like KETO says) so your brain has what it needs to help you relax and have a good nights sleep.
It is one of the most powerful brain foods out there.
Honey not only helps you sleep it is; a pathogen killer, has anti-cancerous phytochemicals, builds your immune system up, repairs your DNA, is full of B12 and is anti-inflammatory.
It helps with; insomnia, allergies, ADHD, colds/flu, infections, adrenal fatigue, digestive disorders and so much more!
So enjoy your honey!!!
And please use unprocessed RAW honey, it has all the micro-nutrients and phytochemicals that do all these wondrous things for you. When it is processed, much of these are killed and won't give you the benefits listed.
So enjoy some honey in your tea and know you are doing more for your body than just fulfilling your healthy sweet tooth!
LEMON BALM TEA
Lemon Balm is great to relieve stress and calms the nerves. It soothes the bladder and detoxifies the liver and is a heal-all for every part of the body.
It is especially good for a nervous stomach, anxiety, hot flashes, night sweats, urinary urgency and inflammation.
You can also take it in a tincture form, if you would like that better and if it works for you.
For Insomnia you can put 2-3 tea bags in a cup and drink 1 hour before bed.
