LAVENDER TEA:
Drink to reduce anxiety and stress.
Why does lavender make you feel calm?
Lavender has been shown to affect the parasympathetic nervous system which controls bodily processes associated with anxiety, such as heart rate, breathing rhythm, and hormone secretion. Lavender can help in regulating these bodily processes by restoring a neutral state. This involves lowering the heart rate, adrenaline levels, and slowing the breath.
CHAMOMILE TEA:
Drink to promote restful sleep and relaxation.
Why does chamomile make you sleepy?
Chamomile is particularly effective at making you feel sleepy because of its chemical structure. The plant extract contains apigenin, a chemical compound that induces sleepiness when it binds to the GABA receptors in the brain, producing a sedative and relaxing effect.
