Ultimate Wedding Countdown- 5 Soothing Teas to Calm Your Mind

Getting married to the love of your life is most definitely exciting. There are so many things to catch up within that short span of time, which obviously leads to stress. This further creates inflammation in the body and can make you gain weight and also cause disturbances in your sleep cycle. Though yoga and meditation are considered as effective ways to calm your mind and relieve the stress, some of simplest pleasures in life like listening to good music, or catching up with good reads- can also soothe your mind. But did you know, sipping herbal teas can also have a positive effect on calming your mind? Read on to know which ones can you brew to keep the wedding stress at bay. 

Chamomile tea. 

Chamomile tea can be your number one option when looking out for ways to reduce stress. It can also help you with insomnia. You can use fresh or dried chamomile flowers to make this tea. Chamomile has soothing, and mildly sedative properties which can help you switch off on a hectic day. 

Kahwa. 

Kahwa is made from a traditional mix of Kashmiri green tea leaves, whole spices, nuts, and saffron. Having kahwa tea can help you feel relaxed, and reduce anxiousness too. It also aids in fighting the negative effects of stress-induced toxins in the body, as it has antioxidant properties. Moreover, it has a rich flavour and aroma. 

Sage tea. 

Sage is also used as a muscle relaxant. So, if you feel tired of the to and fro that happens with wedding decisions, make yourself a refreshing cup of sage tea. It will not only provide relief from mental exhaustion but only from physical exhaustion. Its anti-inflammatory properties can also help you in a good night’s sleep. 

Rose tea. 

Rose tea is known to improve digestion, weight loss, treat liver disease, and prevent urinary tract infections. But it is also good for de-stressing, providing relaxation and has an antidepressant effect. Brownie points for being a good laxative, which also is important because stress can lead to constipation. 

Peppermint tea.

Peppermint tea has antioxidants, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and antiviral properties. 

Having peppermint can relieve clogged sinus, menstrual cramps, boost your energy, fight bacterial infections, and aid your sleep. If you feel stressed at any point of the day, try making yourself a cup of peppermint tea. It has menthol- a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic in nature, which helps you relax amidst ongoing wedding stress.

Over to you. 

Stressing out before your D-day is natural. But you need to learn how to effectively handle it. Ditch your sugar-laden cup of tea and coffee which can further trigger the stress, and make yourself a refreshing, and calming cup of herbal teas with fresh and dried flowers. Don’t forget to ensure that they are pesticide-free.
