Earlier this month, we talked a bit about the toll that chronic stress can take on our health and I shared with you 5 herbs for stress that are easy to find and grow in your own garden.
When combined with positive lifestyle changes, each of these herbs can help you manage stress in a different way–some by relaxing the mind and nerves, some by nourishing the nervous system, some by helping the body adapt to stress and some by relaxing tension in the body.
Today’s recipe is a relaxing tea blend that includes each of these 5 herbs.
While this tea can be enjoyed any time, I love to prepare a cup after a particularly stressful day or in the late afternoon or evening when I’m ready to unwind. For more about the herbs in this recipe, be to check out this post.
I like to prepare my tea in quart batches but you can make as a little or a much as you need. To fill a quart jar I used 1/2 cup per part (see recipe below.)
