Stress, a natural reaction
Wrongly nicknamed “red tea”, rooibos has very little in common with tea, except its reddish color. It comes from the southwest of South Africa, where it grows exclusively in the Cederberg region.
It does not contain theine, the name for the caffeine contained in green tea and black tea, which is known to be stimulating. You can drink it, alone or in a herbal mixture, at any time of the day, including the evening. Its properties make it the plant of choice for concocting a relaxing herbal tea, to consume without moderation.
Lemon balm, the asset at the heart of relaxing herbal teas
Known since the dawn of time for its soothing properties, lemon balm grows easily in our gardens. It is often present in calming herbal teas and anti-stress.
In addition to its slight taste and slightly lemony scent, it contains many active ingredients that have been identified for a long time. Its medicinal use dates back to the first Greek doctors, such as Hippocrates, who recommended it to improve digestion and reduce nervous states.
What other plants are anti-stress?
Other plants, such as chamomile or verbena, are renowned for their calming properties:
• Lavender has its place in a teapot, even if it is used more for its scent.
• Linden, a Zen flower so dear to our grandmothers, is very easy to use to prepare a homemade relaxing herbal tea.
• Passionflower is renowned for its sedative power.
• Rhodiola allows the body to adapt to stress.
• St. John's wort and its calming effect can also be included in the composition of a herbal tea to relax.
Like any plant, these plants contain active ingredients that are not recommended in specific situations, pregnancy, for example. The advice of a specialist, pharmacist or herbalist, is essential to make certain anti stress herbal teas yourself.
