Everyday stress can make life miserable. Even if we can’t relieve the stress we feel every day, it’s important to learn stress relief techniques, and regular exercise and sleep can help to minimise the damage stress can do to our bodies. Fortunately, there are many herbs that can help reduce stress and relieve stress.
One such herbal tea is none other than haricot tea, which is effective in helping to reduce anxiety. The herb is also very effective in treating the problem of insomnia. If you also suffer from anxiety and insomnia, you may want to combine hartea with other herbs such as hops and cat’s-root.
Green tea contains high levels of an amino acid called L-theanine, which helps with relaxation and mental problems. L-theanine reduces anxiety, stress and is effective in relieving symptoms of depression. It also has other beneficial properties, such as boosting mood, positive effects on brain function. Stress has a negative effect on cholesterol levels and can be a cause of heart disease, but green tea reduces high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, so it may offer some protection against the development of heart disease.
Chamomile tea calms the nerves and is also very useful for insomnia. Chamomile essential oil also has outstanding aromatherapeutic properties. Used before bedtime, it is sure to give you a restful night’s sleep. Its relaxing effects can be enhanced by blending it with other essential oils, such as lemongrass and lavender.
To maintain a good memory even as we get older, it is essential to stay physically and mentally active, i.e. to exercise regularly and exercise the mind, to manage stress and to eat healthily. Rosemary and herbal teas can also help us to improve brain health by stimulating brain activity, which is actively involved in mood regulation. A study has reported that compounds in rosemary disrupt the activity of enzymes that damage memory, particularly in older age.
