A thoughtfully composed herbal blend can gently support the nervous system, promote calm, improve sleep quality, and ease anxiety and tension. Below is a balanced, approachable blend using herbs known for nervine (nerve-supporting) and mild sedative actions. Use caution with dosing, check for interactions with medications, and consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, nursing, or managing a chronic condition.
Key Ingredients
Lemon balm: Calming and mildly antispasmodic; may help ease mild anxiety, support digestion, and improve sleep quality thanks to its bioactive compounds.
Tulsi (holy basil): An adaptogen that can help the body manage stress, support immune function, and promote overall wellbeing.
Rose petals: Rich in antioxidants with gentle anti-inflammatory properties; can soothe digestion, reduce nausea, and support immune health.
Chamomile: Widely used for relaxation and sleep support; also soothes the digestive tract and reduces mild inflammation.
Lavender: Calming aroma and mild anxiolytic effects; can support relaxation and improve sleep quality.
Catnip: Traditionally used to calm restlessness and support digestion; gentle and well-tolerated for most people.
Ingredients: Lemon Balm, Rose petals, Chamomile, Holy Basil, Lavander, Catnip
How to prepare
Cup method: Add 1–2 teaspoons of the herbal blend to 250 ml (1 cup) of hot water. Steep for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Sweeten with honey if desired.
Teapot method: Use 1–2 tablespoons of herbs for a teapot, and adjust to your preferred strength.
Suggested use
For regular support, consider drinking up to three cups daily. Start with a smaller amount to assess tolerance, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have chronic health conditions. Consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns or are on medication that may interact with herbal preparations.
