Health Benefits of Sleep

Getting enough zzzz’s at night is vital for your body to heal, renew and recharge for the next day. Sleep is how your body heals and grows stronger. If you’re not getting enough of it, eventually your own personal growth will suffer! Drink this soothing chamomile tea recipe before bedtime and slip into slumber with ease.

If I fall into a pattern of not getting enough sleep, it shows in all aspects of my life. I’m cranky, sluggish, irrational and eating foods that do me more harm than good. Quality sleep has become a huge part of my wellness journey.

I even created a whole bedtime routine (complete with the best Coop pillow) to make sure I am getting my beauty sleep.

Best Tea for Sleep

There are so many choices out there and many of them have additives that do more harm than good. I suggest sticking with simple, herbal teas that use ingredients such as this:

1. Valerian Root: Helpful when you’re having a hard time sleeping due to anxiety or stress.
2. Poppy Plant: Contains poppy plant acts as a mild sedative to help encourage a deep sleep when you’re feeling restless and achy.
3. Chamomile: Contains apigenin, an occurring antioxidant that may promote sleepiness and reduce insomnia.
4. Lavender Buds: Tea that includes lavender can improve your sleep quality and relax you too.

How to Make Herbal Tea for Sleep

Making your own tea is simple and a soothing process in and of itself.

1. Heat up milk to hot but NOT boiling. I like the ‘steamer’ creamy feel to this tea, yet you can heat up water if warm milk isn’t your thing.
2. Add a chamomile tea bag + lavender buds and steep for 5-6 minutes. This will give you good flavor as well as allow the herbs time to infuse the warmed milk. If you’re new to tea, try steeping for less time until you get used to the flavor.
3. Pour your steeped tea through a strainer into your fav mug. I’ve got quite the collection of mugs as I am a daily coffee drinker, yet I always choose my fav clay mug when drinking nighttime tea.
4. Add just a bit of honey and vanilla extract for the final touch, then sit down and enjoy.

This is the best tea for sleep and happens to be a part of my 7-Day Plant-Based Reset. If you’re wanting to not just sleep better, but feel better all the time— check out my best-selling program.
