"When chosen with care, specific varieties of tea can enhance relaxation, boost sleep, and wash away the stress of a hectic day. So, which teas are about to become your new favorite bedtime ritual? In the quest for answers, we turned to Aishwarya Sampath, founder of Flourish With Aish, and Dawn Menning, registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist at Nutu."
"Aishwarya Sampath has found that peppermint tea is a good option for anyone looking for a refreshing yet soothing beverage at night. As somebody with an insatiable sweet tooth, I have found that the natural sweetness of peppermint tea makes for an excellent post-dinner beverage to leisurely sip on as my mind slowly unwinds. A warm cup of this tea is as much a treat for the senses as the palate,"
Chamomile and lavender teas promote relaxation and help prepare the body for sleep. Peppermint tea relaxes muscles, soothes digestion, and provides a naturally sweet, calming post-dinner ritual. Passionflower and similar herbal teas can soothe the mind after a stressful day. Adaptogenic herbs such as ginseng and ashwagandha relieve anxiety and may help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Decaffeinated green tea offers antioxidant benefits without caffeine-related wakefulness. Choosing calming, low- or no-caffeine teas in the evening supports stress reduction and improved sleep quality.
