Tea Reduces Stress

Sipping a cup of herbal tea is very relaxing.  There are so many types and so many brands.  One of my favorite teas is lavender tea.  It has healing properties along with calming properties.  Everyone knows that green tea is good for you, but not everyone is aware that it has some caffeine--so you want to be careful about this.  Caffeine is a stimulant and will work like coffee does on your body.  Most herbal teas, on the other hand, are caffeine free.  Chamomile tea is another tea that relaxes and heals your body.  Another one of my favorites is Chai tea.  It has a blend of many types of tea and spices, and I personally feel that it does not need sweetened.  Many herbal teas are fine without sweeteners, but that is according to individual tastes.  I personally use honey when I need a sweetener in my tea.  Honey has healing properties of its own and tastes great.  Of course sugar, stevia, or any other sweetener works well.  When you are feeling stressed, make a cup of aromatic herbal tea, sit down prop your feet up and feel the tension melt away.
