Teas And Herbs As Sleep Aids
Does “Tension Tamer” tea help with sleep? There are many good relaxation teas and herbs from which to choose as a sleep aid. One herbal tea which many people have reported good results with is known as “Tension Tamer” tea. The ingredients include eleuthero ginseng root, peppermint leaves, cinnamon, ginger root, chamomile flowers, lemon grass, licorice root, catnip leaves, tilia flowers, natural lemon flavor, hops, and vitamins B6 and B12. Reportedly, this tea can relieves stress or tension which helps with your sleep.
When it’s not convenient to have hot tea, you might want to try some of the many herbal supplements that promote relaxation. Be careful when buying these, though, because the name on the bottle can be misleading. There are at least three supplements called “Tension Tamer”. One is the original blend, one is the Ultimate blend, and one is the Unique blend. They each have slightly different ingredients and they are also different from the tea, itself. Consult with an herbal professional or your pharmacist before starting any herbal treatment especially if you are on any prescription medications as the two might not work well together.
Why is sleep thought of as important?Because if your body is not going through a normal pattern or normal sleep cycle, you may not be getting to the stage of sleep that repairs your body. This stage of sleep is when your body naturally repairs the muscle, brain or hormone systems that have been damaged during the day. Recently, it has become known how important this stage of sleep is – many medical problems are now being linked back to years of not sleeping well and not completing the entire sleep cycle every night.
Insomnia may be a symptom of any medical problems and because of that reason; sleep medicine is a recognized medical subspecialty. Doctors who specialize in sleep medicine help people who are unable to sleep well. Sleep doctors are able to detect and treat both common and rare sleep disorders. Some common sleep disorders are insomnia, jet lag, sleepwalking, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
So it is recommended that before you start any herbal or OTC (over-the-counter) sleep aids that you check with your doctor. Also remember, just like prescription medications, herbs and OTC sleep aids have their good and bad effects and effect people differently. Most teas have caffeine in them which is not helpful with sleep problems – as it can work as a stimulant and just keep you awake. Often warm milk will work much better especially if you are effect by the caffeine.
Carbohydrate snacks such as whole grain crackers before bedtime may help to promote sleep. A cup of tea and a few crackers may be just the ticket for your nighttime sleep – this has been reported by many to work well if you suffer from “restless leg syndrome.”
For many people with insomnia related sleep problems, good results have been reported with “Tension Tamer” tea.And since it has a catnip in it – your cat will love it too. Jokes apart.
