1. Lemon balm
Great for: fans of fresh, light flavours.
Lemon balm is a fragrant member of the mint family of plants, and like many other herbs, it is believed to help soothe your central nervous system and many find it helpful to sip before bed.
2. Chamomile
Great for: those who prefer a sweet, floral flavour.
Chamomile tea has been used to relax the mind and body for millennia and for good reason. The chamomile flower contains apigenin, a natural chemical known for its calming properties.
3. Peppermint
Great for: anyone who enjoys having minty fresh breath.
Peppermint tea is known for its ability to settle an upset stomach, but did you know that a cup of hot minty goodness can also help you get to sleep? That’s because peppermint tea is also said to help soothe muscles and nasal congestions, both of which can improve your sleep quality.
4. Valerian
Great for: those who enjoy woody, earthy flavours.
Valerian root can be found in most natural sleep medicines. This bedtime tea is known for its effectiveness and unique flavour. If you aren’t a fan of earthy, wooded tones, you may want to add a little honey or steep your valerian tea for a shorter amount of time.
