In this blog post, we are going to explore the question: what teas help you sleep?

The best teas that promote restful sleep are teas with valerian root, peppermint, and licorice root. Let's explore these ingredients more 👇

Tea has been a popular beverage for centuries, and for good reason. Besides being a delicious and comforting drink, certain teas are known for their sleep-promoting properties. This blog discusses three ingredients commonly found in sleep-promoting teas - valerian root, peppermint, and licorice root - and explains how they work together to promote a good night's sleep.

Valerian root is a natural herb that has been used for centuries as a sleep aid. It is believed to work by increasing levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps calm the nervous system and promote relaxation. Valerian root is also thought to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Our bestselling herbal tea, Bedtime Bliss, contains a gratuitous amount of valerian root. 

Peppermint is another common ingredient in sleep-promoting teas. While it is most commonly known for its ability to soothe the digestive system, it is also believed to have mild sedative properties. Peppermint contains menthol, which can help relax muscles and promote a feeling of calmness. Additionally, the aroma of peppermint has been shown to have a calming effect on the body, which can be particularly helpful for those who suffer from anxiety or stress-related sleep problems. Our Peppermint tea is made from 100% all-natural U.S.-grown peppermint leaves. 

Finally, licorice root is often added to sleep-promoting teas for its ability to reduce inflammation and soothe the digestive system. It is believed that licorice root can help calm the mind and promote relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Additionally, licorice root contains compounds that can help regulate cortisol levels, a hormone that can interfere with sleep when levels are high. Our Calming Tea is blended with both sweet-tasting licorice root and peppermint leaves.

When combined, these three ingredients - valerian root, peppermint, and licorice root - create a powerful herbal tea lineup that can help promote a good night's sleep. Valerian root works to calm the nervous system and regulate the sleep-wake cycle, while peppermint helps relax muscles and promote a feeling of calmness. Finally, licorice root helps reduce inflammation and soothe the digestive system, creating an overall sense of relaxation and calmness that can help promote restful sleep. Give your sleep an upgrade by adding teas with these ingredients to your nighttime routine.

Tea is a wonderful beverage that can have many health benefits, including promoting sleep. By incorporating ingredients like valerian root, peppermint, and licorice root into sleep-promoting teas, it is possible to create a powerful blend that can help promote a good night's sleep. Whether you suffer from occasional sleep problems or have a chronic sleep disorder, incorporating sleep-promoting teas into your bedtime routine can be a simple and effective way to promote restful sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
