Spice Up Your Tea for Better Sleep

Post Image

Enhance your nightly tea ritual with a splash and dash of ingredients that will help you get to sleep. Quality sleep is essential for overall well-being.

Step 1: Choose your favourite uncaffeinated tea. Chamomile and peppermint are popular choices.

Step 2: Try adding these ingredients to help calm your body before sleep.

• Lavender: If you have a loose-leaf tea diffuser, try adding some lavender buds to your diffuser. Lavender slows down the brain and induces drowsiness.

• Honey: Add a tablespoon of honey to your tea. Honey helps the brain release melatonin, a key hormone for sleep.

• Milk: Milk and plant milks are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid which helps boost melatonin. Add a splash of your favourite milk to tea before bed.

• Himalayan salt: Add a pinch of Himalayan salt to your tea. This salt is rich in magnesium which increases relaxation – perfect for bedtime!

• Coconut oil: Add half a teaspoon of coconut oil to your tea. Coconut oil is a healthy fat which helps produce hormones important for sleep.

Make tea part of your bedtime routine. Experiment with different flavours for a good night sleep!
