Herbal Teas to Help With Emotions

We all have moments when we are feeling down and if these feelings continue long term it can develop into depression. In many cases however, they are mood swings that will pass in time, usually when we begin to forget what is bringing us down by being distracted by something good.

There may be times in your life though when you are going through a difficult period or traumatic event that can be prolonged and our gloomy feelings are fairly constant and just don’t go away. This may develop into depression and you may begin to have symptoms such as anxiety, trouble sleeping, lack of appetite and you just want to be alone.

When you suffer from depression you may find it difficult to feel any happiness and things that once made you happy no longer do. You can become isolated when you just don’t enjoy going out anymore and don’t feel like having the company of your friends.

Depression can be caused by an upset of the balance of brain chemicals that are responsible for a person’s emotional health . Emotional distress is not always due to depression and can also be caused by physical illness, anxiety or fear.

If you are suffering from emotional distress you might want to consider natural remedies before going straight for antidepressants. Antidepressants have a number of side effects which may even cause you more anxiety. Natural remedies offer you a safe solution with no side effects.

Herbal teas have many medicinal benefits including emotions benefits. Herbal teas help to cleanse the body, strengthen the immune system, relax the body and help to reduce stress. Most herbal teas are very safe and can be taken daily in recommended quantities without the worry of having any negative side effects.

Depression, anxiety and emotional disorders often lead to a disturbed sleep and there are many herbal teas that can help you to sleep better. Many herbs have a mild sedative effect that can help you get off to sleep and to sleep more soundly.

"Hard to find product, excellent herbal remedies,"
By Deanna Figueroa "@mediamover" (San Diego)

I just noticed the warning not to use while pregnant or breast feeding. I have no idea if this applies to all the teas or only one of them, but you will want to take note of that.

I'm not in that group, but don't want anyone buying this if they are and use my recommendation as the basis for buying it.

Original review:

I originally purchased this because they were out of the plain 'throat coat' and I couldn't find it locally.I was suprised to find that the sampler is actually quite good.

Now, keep in mind that this is MEDICINAL herbal tea, it's not made for taste, but it works amazingly well.

I bought it in a rush when my husband had a miserable cold and was out driving every day in 40-degree weather. He was really suffering.

I made him the throat coat and the cold remedy versions, heavily laced with honey so it was palatable and put them in his Oxo Travel Mugs.

They really reduced his suffering and made his long days a little less tedious.

Throat Coat is by far the best product. Be sure to steep it quite a while as recommended. The name says it all. You'll feel as if your throat is lined with velvet.

And there are no chemicals or drugs to interfere with the ability to drive or even think (antihistamines make me a whirling dervish & make the hubby pass out cold).

I sent a box of this over to my sister in law when she came down with a bug and she raved about it for weeks.

6 of them is a lot, but if you have a lot of family and especially kids who tend to get colds a lot, you'll use them.

Restful herb tea as sleep aid:

If you often suffer from restless waking in the middle of the night, herbal remedies – taken either as a tea or tablet form, may help to quest your nerves and settle an overactive system.

This herb is one of the most powerful sedatives in the plant pharmacopoeia. A tea made from valerian root has a rapid sedative effect, and it helps to ease nervous tension.

When drunk after dinner and then directly before bed, it quickly alleviates symptoms of insomnia and facilitates sleep.

One of the best bedtime herbs for those who have difficulty getting to sleep, chamomile has a soporific effect on the nervous system.

It also gives relief to an overworked digestive tract, a common cause of insomnia.

Another relaxing plant, lime blossom helps to calm nerves and reduce tension.

Both of these herbs can be drunk as a tea: steep 5ml / 1 teaspoon dried herb in a cup of hot water.

Hops is an ingredient in beer – and the cause of the pleasant sleepiness that a big drink of beer induces – hops is used for its restful effect.

Wild lettuce also has been used to treat sleep problems, as have passionflower and lemon balm.

Natural Herbal sleep aids:

Sedative herbs are used in non-narcotic sleep tablets, which are taken once during the day and then an hour before bedtime.

Valerian is usually the main ingredient – it may be used on its own or combined with hops, wild lettuce, lemon balm or passionflower.

Dill seed acts gently to relieve colic – a common cause of wakefulness in babies and young children.

Add 5ml / 1 teaspoon lightly crushed dill seed to a cup of water and boil for 10 minutes. Strain well and allow to cool before drinking.

To help you sleep through the night you can also drink pleasant Elderflower and Lime Blossom tea with a dash or Nutmeg and a dollop of Honey.

Soothing tisanes:

Made by steeping garden-fresh flowers in boiling water, tisanes provide a real treat for the taste buds.

They can calm the nerves and send you to sleep on a proverbial carpet of blossoms.

The experience of drinking a tisane is a little like taking the garden’s earthy energy in to your system.

The wonderful fragrances of these clean and clear tonics act as moon enhancers, and they are visually cheering – as well as tasting wonderfully fresh.

Many garden blossoms can be used for making tisanes, but the best ones for promoting sound sleep include:

• Lavender
• Lime blossom
• Lemon verbena
• Dandelion
• Rosemary
• Rose petals
• Jasmine
• Peppermint
• Bergamot
• Passion flower

Passion flower tisane:

The passion flower has wonderful sedative powers that are said to relieve nervous conditions such as palpitations and shakiness, thus helping to prevent insomnia.

To make a tisane, place one passion flower blossom (or 5ml / 1 teaspoon dried passion flower) in a cup and add 250ml / 8fl oz / 1 cup boiling water.

Steep (soak) for 10 minutes, then remove the flower.

You can drink a cup of this soothing tisane 3 times a day, and continue for 2 -4 weeks.

Customer Review:

5.0 out of 5 stars "Subtle, Lovely Bedtime Tea"
By O. Brown "Ms. O. Khannah-Brown" (Twopeas, WA)

This Bedtime Tea from Yogi Tea is an caffeine-free herbal tea that is relaxing and a natural sleep aid. Bedtime Tea is made from organic licorice root, organic spearmint leaf, organic chamomile flower, organic skullcap leaf, organic cardamom seed, organic cinnamon bark, organic St. John's Wort leaf & flower, organic rose hips, natural orange flavor, valerian root extract, organic raspberry leaf, organic English lavender flower, stevia leaf, and passion flower extract. The taste is mild, delicious, herb-y, and very slightly sweet. It is subtle and lovely.

I am definitely impressed with this tea and with Yogi Teas in general. Bedtime Tea comes with an expiration date (a good thing, because it's not full of preservatives, plus you can tell if it is fresh). Yogi Tea seems to be another company (like Numi, Aspen, Traditional Medicinals) that values sustainable and healthy practices. Their web site has a helpful glossary of tea ingredients and is beautifully designed, with info about each tea they make.

There is a warning on the box that this tea is not to be used during pregnancy or while nursing. If you are taking MAO inhibitors or other prescription drugs, you should consult your physician or health care professional before use. There are no other cautions or warnings on the box except the standard disclaimer that the tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Best of all, it works...I love drinking it before bed to relax and drift off into blissful sleep. This is a great tea that I highly recommend.
