AnxieTea – Relaxing Herbal Tea

I created this herbal tea because I was spending so much money on Nighty Night Tea (although an amazing product by an amazing woman, I am an herbalist and have all the right herbs on hand so I said why not). An herbal tea blend like AnxieTea containing Valeriana officinalis (valerian), Passiflora incarnata (passionflower), Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile), Rosa spp. (rose), Humulus lupulus (hops), and Mentha spicata (spearmint) offers a synergistic combination of botanicals traditionally used to support relaxation and promote restful sleep. Valerian root is well-documented for its sedative properties, as it enhances GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) activity in the brain, which helps calm the nervous system. Passionflower works in a complementary way, also increasing GABA levels and reducing symptoms of anxiety. Chamomile, rich in the antioxidant apigenin, binds to receptors in the brain that may reduce insomnia and foster relaxation. Rose petals contribute a soothing aroma and may have mild anxiolytic effects due to their calming properties. Hops, often paired with valerian in sleep remedies, contain compounds like humulone and lupulone, which are believed to promote sedation. Finally, spearmint adds a gentle, refreshing flavor while offering its own calming effects, potentially aiding in digestion, which can indirectly support better sleep. Together, these herbs create a holistic formula designed to ease anxiety and prepare the body and mind for restorative sleep.
