An Everyday Herbal Tea Guide
Which herbal teas help with what — a calm overview without the magical claims.
Herbal teas are food, not medicine — but a daily cup is a gentle ritual with real benefits.
Before bed
Chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, passionflower. Drink 30–60 minutes before bed.
After meals
Peppermint, fennel, ginger. Help digestion and bloating.
Mornings
Tulsi (holy basil), nettle, or rooibos. Steady, non-caffeinated lift.
Immune support
Thyme, elderflower, ginger with lemon and honey.
How to brew
Cover the cup while steeping to keep aromatic oils. Steep 5–10 minutes. Sweeten lightly with honey if needed.
