When your day starts to get the better of you, how do you unwind? Maybe
you go for a run through the park or grab a paddleboard and head to the
beach. Or if the beach is out of reach, maybe you brew a soothing cup of
tea. When you want to relax and practice mindfulness, a soothing drink
with the right herbs becomes your companion to help you break through
life’s stressors. There are a bounty of herbs, spices, roots, and
flowers that help soothe and calm. From lavender to kava,
these are herbs that help us relax, find focus, and bring our true
selves back into view. Here are three of those herbs—herbs that when
brewed can take us on the journey to return to our center.
Chill Out with Lavender
Lavender is one of the most popular herbs out there. The pale purple
flower is renowned for its lightly floral, yet distinct, aroma, as well
as its ability to calm. Compounds in lavender and lavender essential
oil, known as terpenes, can help us achieve that calm. When you want to
unwind, diffusing lavender essential oil or burning lavender candles
guides you away from the busy of your day. Take it further by adding
lavender essential oil, or a lavender bath bomb, to a warm bath and let
the aroma envelop you in pure relaxation. Bring your lavender experience
to a head with a freshly brewed cup of lavender tea and let every worry
wash away.
Find Focus with Kava
Made
from the kava kava plant (the dried roots, specifically), kava is a
safe and effective way to calm the mind. Enjoyed for centuries by
peoples throughout the South Pacific, the root has a long history of
use. The root is brewed into a tea and used in ceremonies and enjoyed in
social settings. In addition to its calming properties, it helps its
drinkers find focus. As your mind achieves calm, it becomes easier to
process thought. You may even enter a state of mild euphoria. You can
find a pre-prepared kava drink, often called a euphoric drink, and enjoy the benefits whenever you like. This makes kava an ideal companion as you meditate and journey to your center.
Calm the Mind with Valerian
Valerian, or valerian root, is commonly brewed as tea. The herb has
long been used by people to gain control of feelings or busy thoughts.
If you’ve found yourself endeavoring to relax, meditate, or sleep only
to achieve little as your mind races from one thought to the next,
valerian may help slow those thoughts. The brewed root helps you achieve
a calmer, quieter mind—and may even help you feel more relaxed overall.
Many people enjoy a cup of valerian root tea about 30 minutes before
going to bed. And like kava, it makes a wonderful meditative companion.
