The relaxing evening blend of chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and rose petals is excellent for promoting calm, reducing stress, and gently preparing the body for restful sleep. Here's a detailed explanation of its benefits and recommended dosage:
Benefits:
1. Chamomile: Soothes the mind, relieves anxiety, and promotes sleep.
2. Lavender: Reduces stress, enhances relaxation, and supports restful sleep.
3. Lemon Balm: Calms the nervous system, reduces tension, and aids digestion.
4. Rose Petals: Offers a mild calming effect and contributes a delicate, uplifting aroma.
Dosage:
Preparation:
Use 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of the blend per 8 ounces of hot water.
(A suggested ratio: equal parts chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and rose petals, but you can adjust to taste.)
Steeping Instructions:
Steep the herbs in just-boiled water for 5-10 minutes. Cover the cup or teapot while steeping to preserve the essential oils.
Frequency:
Drink 1 cup in the evening, about 30-60 minutes before bed. You can have an additional cup if desired for deeper relaxation.
This tea is mild enough to be safe for most individuals, but it’s always good to check for potential allergies (especially to chamomile or lavender).
