It’s more than just chamomile tea! We have taken the honey-sweet aroma and taste of chamomile flowers and merged it with the fresh taste of lemongrass, spearmint leaves, and lavender flowers to create a relaxing, caffeine-free blend you are sure to enjoy.
Both Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) and German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) have been used by traditional herbalists and folk healers for centuries for their calming effects and what they believed were potential health benefits.
- May reduce inflammation – Chamomile tea contains antioxidants known as flavonoids that may help to reduce inflammation.
- May Reduce menstrual pain – Several studies of chamomile tea on menstruation have been conducted over the years. A 2010 study found that participants who drank chamomile tea for a month reported less severe menstrual cramps, along with anxiety and irritability.
- May help normalize blood sugar levels – A joint study conducted in 2008 by the Department of Hospital Pharmacy at the University of Toyama in Japan and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research in the U.K. found that study participants who consumed chamomile showed lower spikes in blood sugar levels and could improve diabetes outcomes.
- May slow osteoporosis and loss of bone density – a 2004 study showed that chamomile tea might have an anti-estrogenic effect. This anti-estrogenic effect can help promote bone density. However, the study’s authors believe that further research is needed.
- May help with sleep and relaxation – A study conducted by the Department of Urology and Nutrition, Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, found that 10 out of 12 participants noted they had fallen asleep after consuming chamomile tea. Researchers believe that chamomile tea may function similarly that prescription sleep-inducing drugs known as benzodiazepines do.
It is important to note that infants and very young children who have pollen or ragweed allergies may need to avoid chamomile.
Lemongrass, also known as citronella, is a popular herb in Thai cuisine. The tall, grassy stalks of this plant smell like lemons and have been traditionally used for centuries to relieve stress and uplift the mood. Some effects of lemongrass include:
- Has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties – According to a recent Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center study, two of the main chemical constituents found in lemongrass, citral, and geranial, have shown the ability to negate inflammation in the body.
- May help reduce high blood pressure – In a study conducted by the University of Malakand Pharmacy Department, researchers found that lemongrass helped to reduce systolic blood pressure and slightly increased the heart rate in study participants to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke potentially.
- May help reduce cholesterol – Recent studies have found that lemongrass helps to lower cholesterol in animals.
- May help in weight loss – Lemongrass has diuretic properties, which may help you lose weight by reducing excess fluid in the body.
- May improve digestive health – Traditionally, lemongrass tea has been used to help upset stomach and other digestive issues.
- Lemongrass tea has long been valued for its calming effect and ability to help you feel less stressed or anxious and help you get to sleep.
- May ease a sore throat – The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of lemongrass act to decongest the respiratory system and can soothe a sore throat. Lemongrass also acts to help remove toxins from the body and stimulate drainage of the lymph nodes.
Brewed from the fresh or dried leaves of the spearmint plant, this herb has both aromatic and calmative effects known throughout the world. The light, fresh taste is slightly sweet compared to other mints, such as peppermint (Mentha piperita). It is commonly used as a breath freshener. Other properties that people value spearmint for are:
- May improve respiratory health – The cooling effect of mint can open up the nasal passages and help airways feel less congested, especially when you have a cold.
- It can aid digestion and calm an upset stomach – According to WebMD, part of this action is that spearmint can help the stomach muscles to relax.
- Spearmint is antibacterial – Studies have shown that the naturally occurring oils within spearmint can fight off bacteria such as E. Coli and other food-borne illnesses.
- May ease a sore throat – When you are feeling under the weather, the cooling freshness of spearmint can calm a sore throat and help you relax.
The power of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) flowers to bring a bit of fragrant relaxation is well known. This flower, of which there are over 40 species worldwide, is found growing throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States. The essential oil of lavender is probably the most popular in the world.
As a tea, lavender can:
- May relieve indigestion – For those suffering from indigestion, lavender tea can help calm an upset stomach.
- May Help to fight insomnia – For millennia, lavender has enjoyed a reputation for its ability to calm anxiety and relax you enough so that you can get to sleep.
- May help detoxify your body – Lavender flowers are antioxidant, antiviral, and antibacterial.
