What are the 7 teas that calm your mind? Tea Number 7- If You Thought Of Chamomile, You're Right Chamomile has a long history of medicinal use for its calming and relaxing effects. It has been used since ancient Egypt mainly by women who used chamomile to improve the skin, but it was also part of the mummification process.
In the world, 1 million cups of chamomile are consumed a day, which serves both to relax and to fall asleep. Some research suggests that chamomile binds to the receptors for benzodiazepines, those black-tie meds, but of course, without the harmful side effects like memory loss and you getting low the next day. Then the flavonoids and apigenin of chamomile, bind to GABA receptors, modulating the action of or rather facilitating the action of GABA.
GABA is one of the main inhibitory neurotransmitters, which gives that bedridden and can help with sleep. Additionally, chamomile modulates key neurotransmitters that may be involved in sleep, including norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. When I was little I used to go out to pick chamomiles in the orchard to make chamomile tea that was simply delicious.
But could it be the tea bag? Of course you can. Chamomile has other benefits besides being relaxing: it reduces menstrual cramps, it can help regulate blood sugar better — of course, you'll have to take it without sugar, it can reduce inflammation and even delay osteoporosis.
So it has a lot of advantage, it's worth taking, it's quite safe, except in one case—infants and very young children. It has the risk that, like honey, it can be contaminated with spores and can give botulism to babies and very young children. Tea number 6 that can calm your nerves, Linden Tea Another millennial tea, dating back to ancient Greece.
Linden is considered one of the remedies used on the island of Crete. It represented vitality and harmony. Linden antioxidants such as quercetin and essential oils found in tea can provide important health benefits, such as it can reduce inflammation and pain through quercetin.
And linden tea also has several sedative properties, which can help you fall asleep, reduce anxiety, and calm restless nerves. It is also classified as a hypotensive herb—which lowers blood pressure, as it has the flavonoid that has been shown to lower blood pressure a bit so the tea is a good remedy for that person who has emotional high blood pressure. Of course, you shouldn't stop your blood pressure medication and switch to linden tea—it won't work.
Tea number 5- Lemon balm Lemon balm is the medicinal plant Melissa officinalis, also known as melissa. It is also a historical medicinal herb, dating back to 80 BC. Paracelsus, famous Swiss physician and alchemist, said that Melissa was a balm that would completely revive a man and indicated for "all complaints that had to do with the nervous system.
And it seems he was correct, since lemon balm has that can improve memory — mind you — and several studies suggest sedative, anti-agitation and 'calming' effects, which relaxes and helps you sleep. It's indicated for symptoms of nervousness to reduce mental excitement, anxiety and stress And it seems that these effects are dose dependent - the higher the dose, the better. Of course, the ideal is never to exaggerate.
So much so that Paracelsus who said that the difference between poison and medicine is the dose. Tea number 4- Valerian Another historic tea, known by the Greeks and Romans. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, had described its therapeutic properties and Galen, another very important Greek physician of the past, described its anti-insomnia properties .
o, because high doses can harm your liver and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are best avoided. There are several studies with valerian, some that suggest it may be helpful for insomnia and other sleep disorders, others not. But most are with few people.
So for sleep valerian is inconclusive. It acts similar to chamomile, increasing the amount of GABA. In addition, valerian inhibits an enzyme that destroys GABA.
Tea number 3- Lemongrass Another herb that I picked in the orchard. They make those crockery. Lemongrass contains inflammation-fighting compounds like chlorogenic acid, and I've already mentioned that inflammation causes health damage, including heart disease.
So lemongrass tea can be an interesting drink to incorporate into your diet. In addition, lemongrass tea can have other benefits, including relieving anxiety because of this smell that has a relaxing effect and preventing some fungal and bacterial infections and even lowering cholesterol and reducing fluid retention, having a diuretic effect. Tea number 2-Passiflora Passionflower is the passion flower.
Many people think that passion fruit soothes, but the only passion fruit that soothes is the passion fruit from here in the cerrado than the pearl passion fruit. Others may have a placebo effect. But passion fruit flower and passion fruit leaves do have this calming effect.
Passionflower acts on Gaba and also on dopamine, increasing levels of both. A 2018 review suggested that there was high-quality evidence supporting the use of passion fruit to alleviate anxiety disorders. But unlike Melissa, which can boost memory, it can cause mental slowdown.
Tea number 1- Erva Doce It is also an extremely popular tea here in Brazil. And a hot fennel tea is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. How fennel can take the tension out of muscles, improve digestion, reduce flatulence, regulate appetite, – and you can feel more peaceful and ready to sleep after drinking a cup.
Fennel can also increase milk in breastfeeding women . Well, there are other teas that help you relax. I can mention mint tea that in addition to reducing stress can improve energy levels and reduce daytime fatigue.
And green tea — which may be the tea I use the most at home, but as it contains caffeine, it can make you more alert, so it's best not to drink it after 2pm as it can disrupt your sleep, but caffeine can increase sleep. anxiety in some people. However, caffeine is not the only compound in green tea.
It also contains L-theanine, which can increase the activity of GABA, which has anti-anxiety effects. It also increases dopamine and alpha waves in the brain. I really like tea, and here at home everyone uses it.
My children and my wife. But despite being natural things, tea can interfere with the medicine you're taking, increase the effect of a supplement, so it's always good to talk to your doctor about possible risks and interactions. I hope the teas help you if you want to comment below about a tea you use and help you relax, please do so, write below, share your knowledge so that everyone can feel less stressed.
