Stress and anxiety can disrupt sleep and cause muscle tension. A simple herbal infusion may offer a natural way to relax and sleep better.
This blend combines cinnamon (supports circulation and relaxation), bay leaf/laurel (calms the mind and aids digestion), and chamomile (eases muscle tension and promotes sleep).
Ingredients:
2 cinnamon sticks, 4 bay leaves, a handful of chamomile, ½ liter of water (honey optional).
Preparation:
Simmer all ingredients for 15 minutes, strain, and drink one cup about 30 minutes before bed. Add honey if desired.
It may reduce anxiety, relax muscles, and improve sleep quality. Limit to one cup daily and consult a doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a health condition. Pair with calming habits like reading or breathing exercises for best results.
