Relaxation Suggestions

A cup of herbal tea is a great way to help you get the much needed sleep, but there are other things you can do, too. Blend some of these relaxation suggestions into your daily routine.

• Start your day with a cup of milk or yogurt. Your nervous system requires calcium to work properly.


• During your work day, make sure to take a break. These breaks provide an opportunity for drinking your tea, but also give your body and mind a moment to relax.


• At meals, avoid foods that you have a hard time digesting or that are full of sugar. Sweets provide with added energy, but it goes away quickly, only adding to your stress levels.


• At the end of your day, find time to exercise to release bottled up energy and stress. And then head home for a good soak in a relaxing bath or perhaps have a massage at your gym.


• When you go to bed, choose a comfortable pajama and make sure the bedroom is neither too hot nor too cold. Turn off the TV and cellphone and just read a book as you sip your last cup of tea of the day.
