Herb Teas for Stress?

Any suggestions on which herb teas are good for stress? What with my move, I find myself a pile of jitters now and then. A good cup of soothing herb tea would be very welcome at times like those.

Thanks for your help

Hi wizzle Sorry to hear your not feel great ((((((((wizzle)))))))

Camomile is great for stress - and easy to obtain. Its the first one I thought about when I saw the thread. I know theres more - I hope someone has some suggestions. If not maybe ring the local health shop and ask too - they may have a special blend for stress

Camomile is great- and so is Kava Kava. You can easily find both at any health food store, I used to mix the two, and it worked great!

Regular tea! Just put brandy in it! Lots and lots of brandy

I'd say chamomile also, easy to grow yourself and nice a relaxing. Lavender is good and grows like a weed. I like ginger if you have butterflies in your tummy (plus I have ginger cravings sometimes ) Hypericum (St John Wort) is good, but may react with some medications.

Otherwise skip the tea and go straight onto brandy. At least until your new herb garden is established.

Heya

With stress, I find that the best tea is Vervain. It's specifically for nervous exhaustion and stress brought about by overwork.
Problem is, it tastes gross, so if you mix it with a little peppermint, it will be tasty AND nutritious!

About a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of Vervain and Peppermint, using about 2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water should do the trick.

If all else fails, I'm with Similia - Brandy works a treat

Hi Wizzle,
I would agree with the suggestion of Camomile. I personally would add a bit of fresh Spearmint and a bit of honey. If that isn't your 'cup of tea' then perhaps you would like a peach tea or some other flavor that you particularly like.

Another fan of a calming cup of Camomile Tea - I also like a special Japanese tea with green tea and roasted rice.

Another suggestion apart from the previous ones is Orange blossom tea or Valerian. Not everybody's cup of tea but also calming and soothing.
