The Secret Ingredients: How They Help You Drift Off

Chamomile: The Queen of Calm

Let’s talk about chamomile, the ultimate go-to when it comes to sleepy time tea. Chamomile is like that friend who always knows how to calm you down after a long day. It’s packed with apigenin, an antioxidant that works wonders by binding to receptors in your brain to help reduce anxiety and promote sleep. Think of it as a warm, gentle hug in a cup.

Lavender and Peppermint: Aromatherapy in a Cup

Lavender isn’t just for your pillow spray—this fragrant flower works wonders in tea, too. Known for its calming aroma, lavender helps reduce anxiety and relaxes your mind, making it easier to fall asleep. When paired with peppermint, you get a refreshing twist that not only soothes but also delights the senses.

Valerian Root: The Natural Nightcap

Valerian root is like the MVP of sleepy time ingredients. It’s known for its sedative properties, which is why it’s been used for centuries to help with insomnia and anxiety. Valerian root works by increasing GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain, which helps to calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.
