Two herbal tea recipes: a morning blend of green tea, rosemary, tulsi, and lemon balm to clear the mind, and an evening blend of passionflower, skullcap, and chamomile to calm the nervous system and aid digestion.
I'm a big fan of teas. If I was to put together a little recipe for this week, something to take in the morning, I would do some green tea.
I would add rosemary since we're in love with that one. Tulsi or holy basil, which is a highly aromatic plant that sort of functions as a nootropic as well as an adaptogen. And maybe some lemon balm as well. Again, it's aromatic and these aromatic herbs, They're high in oils and have this action of kind of clearing our minds, clearing our bodies. We smell that aroma, you know, and when we smell that, we're inhaling those essential oils and they are entering our bloodstream.
What about in the evening in terms of what are some of the key core ingredients you would put into an evening tea?
You know, I would do passionflower. For one, passionflower is a calming nervine herb. I also really like skullcap, which is another nervine that helps to address physical tics and twitches, any kind of restlessness. Chamomile as well. It's another nervine, but chamomile also is what we call a carminative, and that can help with, you know, digestion overnight and ensuring that, you know, everything is being processed well.
I could go on from there, but that's, that's probably plenty for the evening tea.
