2. Willowherb Tea: Calming for the Nervous System
This traditional tea was very popular in the past. I started drinking it again about 20 years ago, and it’s been a part of my afternoon routine ever since.
Main Benefits:
Helps calm the nervous system.
Improves sleep quality.
Aids digestion.
Reduces mild inflammation.
Contributes to the elimination of water retention.
Preparation:
One teaspoon of dried herb in 300 ml of hot water. Cover and let it steep for 10–15 minutes. Drink it warm, preferably after meals or at night.
It doesn’t cause dependence or nervousness like coffee or black tea. It’s ideal for those who experience mild palpitations or anxiety at the end of the day.
