    The best tea to calm your nerves??

    I tried chamomile for like 3 weeks and you know, i didnt feel any relaxed... (it was decaffeinated). I also tried green tea, saaaame old.

    So... any suggestions?

    I've been drinking a tea right before bed with a combination of valerian root, passion flower, and st. john's wart. I'm generally a really easygoing person except I wake up with horrible mood swings in the morning. When I drink this tea before bed I generally wake up in a great mood. It really helps balance out my mood. You could probably leave the valerian root out and drink it during the day.

    Also, celestial seasoning makes a great tea called the tension tamer. It makes me feel wonderful..lol I have no other words to describe it. If you don't want to buy premade tea and are more into making your own herbal tea, the main ingredient in this tea is eleuthro. I'm absolutely amazed when I drink the tension tamer every day because its really calming but after a couple of weeks of daily drinking it also gives me insane amounts of energy. I'm sure if you made a Eleuthro tea by itself it would have the same results.

    My favorite herbal tea brand is from the "Traditional Medicinals" brand. For relaxation and even a helper into sleep try the 'Organic Easy Now" tea as it has chamomile too, but also a myriad of other benefiting herbs, leaves and roots. I've done some extensive research on the effects of all the herb combos they carry and they are entirely legit remedies that work more efficiently and much more non-invasive compared to the other option of a prescription pharm.

    Try 'em out, they have some for digestion, detox, sleep aide, and so much more as well.

    Fuck! I sound like a god damn advertisement!

    Hm, where can you find those valerian roots? Those sounds amazing!!


    I actually need something faster for the morning. For example, I wake up and prepare my tea, then I get ready and drink my tea at the same time hehe


    Yes you do! I will even try that one!

    I think this one only has chamomile and some other herbs thrown in for flavor. Try Yogi Bedtime tea. It has the valerian root, passion flower, and st john's wort I mentioned.

    I feel like an advertisement too lol.

    its mostly a New England/Canadian thing, I think, if you can find it its sooo awesome, Salada brand :p. Its like a black tea but its the Salada classic flavour, comes in a plastic sac of like 300 bags..another fun fact, they are the ones to invent the individual tea bag, before them it was bought loose from chests. :D

    To you people talking about valerian root: Remember that it and st. johns wort can cause liver and other problems, if taken in excess. I limit my intake to 1.2 grams a day, with only 900mg of that at once. But I use the standardized extract gel caps, and don't take it at all most days (or most months, honestly)

    But it's great stuff to have around.

    Favorite bedtime tea: peppermint. Fave caffeinated teas: yerba mate, homemade chai, and Earl Grey. Wish it were still hot tea weather here in the desert, but it's that time of year I gotta make iced versions of all my teas and coffee.
