Here is a deeper dive into the ingredients of our Relaxation Tea:
Lavender
Lavender possesses various healing and medicinal properties, including anxiety reduction, improved sleep, anti-inflammatory effects, wound healing acceleration, and antimicrobial activity. These benefits are attributed to lavender's active compounds that interact with the body's nervous and inflammatory systems. It is used in aromatherapy, dietary supplements, and topical applications for conditions like headaches, skin issues, and minor pain.
Lemon Verbena
Lemon Verbena has various medicinal properties, notably anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects attributed to compounds like verbascoside. It's used in traditional and modern practices to soothe digestive issues like cramps and indigestion, alleviate anxiety and insomnia with its calming aroma and sedative qualities, reduce joint and muscle pain, and support the body by acting as an antioxidant against cellular damage.
Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm has a wide range of therapeutic benefits, most notably its calming and stress-reducing effects, used to alleviate anxiety and insomnia. It possesses antiviral properties, helping with cold sores, and supports digestive health by relieving gas and bloating. Additionally, it has potential uses in supporting heart health, boosting the immune system, and easing menstrual discomfort.
Chamomile
Chamomile offers an abundance of healing properties, with its active compounds like apigenin and volatile oils supporting skin health, aiding digestion, and potentially promoting sleep and relaxation. Historically used for ailments such as skin inflammation and digestive issues, it is still recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects.
Mint
Mint offers significant healing and medicinal properties, particularly for digestive issues like indigestion and bloating, thanks to its muscle-relaxing and bile-stimulating effects. It possesses strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties due to compounds like rosmarinic acid, which can help combat inflammation and oxidative stress throughout the body. Mint also acts as a natural breath freshener by killing odor-causing bacteria and can effectively provide relief from headaches by relaxing tense muscles. Other benefits include its potential use in relieving allergy symptoms, improving cognitive function and mood, and even aiding in skincare for acne-prone skin due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Holy Basil
Holy basil (Tulsi) has diverse medicinal properties including adaptogenic benefits to reduce stress and anxiety, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that benefit cardiovascular and immune health, and effects that can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. It also exhibits anticancer properties in animal studies and has traditional uses for supporting liver health, improving oral hygiene, and protecting eye health from infections
