It contains the flavonoid apigenin, which binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, exerting a mild sedative effect. Clinical studies have shown chamomile to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms and improve sleep quality.
Lemongrass:
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) has been studied for its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects. The main component, citral, has been observed to reduce anxiety by modulating neurotransmitter systems in the brain, particularly through GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) pathways. Lemongrass tea is traditionally consumed to help with relaxation and reduce stress.
Peppermint:
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is known for its relaxing properties, especially in the form of essential oil inhalation. Studies have shown that peppermint’s menthol component can reduce anxiety and enhance relaxation by affecting the central nervous system. Menthol’s muscle-relaxing properties may contribute to a calming sensation.
Valerian Root:
Valerian root tea is widely used as a natural sleep aid and relaxation remedy, helping reduce anxiety and insomnia by promoting GABA production in the brain. Its mild sedative effects make it ideal for easing restlessness and nervousness, providing gentle support for stress-related issues. Valerian root can be a plant-based alternative to pharmaceuticals for those seeking natural options with minimal side effects.
St. John’s Wort:
Known for its antidepressant properties, St. John’s Wort has compounds that may influence serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine levels in the brain, helping improve mood.
