In the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding moments of calm and relaxation can feel like a luxury. However, nature's calm offers us a remedy that can help restore balance and tranquility. One such way to incorporate these benefits into your daily routine is through Carolina Holisitc's relaxing herbal tea blend. We’ll explore the wonders of herbal medicine and share a soothing tea recipe (PLUS a fun mocktail recipe) featuring our relaxing tea blend with lemon balm & valerian.
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is an herb known for its calming properties. This fragrant plant, with its lemony scent, has been used for centuries, first noted in Historia Plantarum in 350 B.C, to reduce stress and anxiety, promote sleep, and improve digestion. Lemon balm is a relaxant, antiviral, and antispasmodic (reduces spasms; ex: cramps, IBS, etc.)
Valerian: Nature’s Tranquilizer
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is another powerful herb celebrated for its ability to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Valerian has been used since Roman Times. In 1592, works were published by Fabius Calumna crediting valerian to curing epilepsy. Valerian is a sedative, relaxant, relieves anxiety and can even lower your body's blood pressure.
