The Best Time To Drink Herbal Tea
This is mostly down to personal preference, I like to have a cup first thing in the morning and another before bed.
However, if you are anxious throughout the day or have a specific event coming up you are worried about I’d suggest having a cup with you if possible or drinking one before the event.
I find especially with Lavender and Camomile, the scent and warmth of the tea is as effective at calming nerves and worries as the calming properties of the tea itself.
On-the-go Herbal Tea
I pretty much always can be found with a travel mug, not only can you save money by taking your own herbal tea with you in the mornings but the comfort of having a physically item with you to hold when your feeling anxious is really effective at calming nerves and helping you focus on holding the mug, smelling the calming scents of the herbal teas and feeling the warmth through your hands.
Targeting your senses to bring your stress levels down and bring your focus back to the simple things can be a game changer, don’t knock it till you try it!
My recommendations:
Travel Mug
The easiest way to have on-the-go anxiety relief.
Having something to hold can also lower anxiety as well as being able to smell the scent of herbal tea when you need it.
Essential Oil Roller
Scent can be very beneficial in reducing anxiety, i personally love the Inner Harmony one! This set linked Includes Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon Scents.
I hope you have found something useful in this information, give the tea’s a try, and let me know which ones helped you.
