I was out running a Hurricane! My daughter was a month old! I couldn't breast feed her for several hours. Long story short, milk got blocked. The nurse said to use chamomile tea! Worked like a charm!

Chamomile tea is just amazing!
Hello! As I am getting older, I am having difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep. This video caught my attention, so, after looking up the ingredients, I decided to order them online and make this tea. I wanted to share my experience. The first time, I followed the brewing instructions using 2 teaspoons of the tea mixture as directed. The tea was quite strong, and did not taste good at all, but I drank it. I did not experience a sleepy feeling, but went to bed at my regular time, and I did fall asleep. I stayed asleep for longer than 8 hours and felt refreshed when I woke up in the morning. On day #2, I decreased the tea to 1.5 teaspoons and added an ounce of rosewater and some acacia honey. The taste was improved. Again, no overwhelming sleepy feeling, but I fell asleep in a comfortable amount of time, and slept 8 hours again. I am pretty satisfied so far with the way this tea works, and would like to thank you for the video. Tonight will be day #3, and I fully expect the same good results.

I personally prefer to let the herb matter free float in the water. The aroma of the herbs is better, and there's also more plant surface exposed to the water (better extraction). Simply strain after steeping.

It is also the preferred and most widely used way to infuse herbs in water by literally every herbalist I know of. Personally, I dislike the contact of metals with herbs. To me it seems like imprisoning the plants. Putting them behind bars. Or putting shackles on them. So, freedom for my herbs anyway:))@@HappyGirl-ii6zf

Thank you for such a calming and relaxing sleepy tea blend 🍵
Completely agree - Passionflower, chamomile, and valerian are perfect. Lavender and rose are interesting. I disagree on the California Poppy as many may not wish to introduce that; and scullcap is a little much for most. Still, you did suggest even using any of the herbs alone, which is good. Learning what your body cab handle is a good idea.
The tea taste so wonderful and better than that, It helped both me and my husband to sleep like never before. I love you for sharing this. I have slept now for two nights in a row and wake feeling so happy. You are my saviour and I am passing on the message to all my friends. xxx

Passion flower is likely safe for most people when used as a flavoring in foods. It's possibly safe when taken as a tea for 7 nights, or as a medicine for up to 8 weeks. It may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and confusion.☝
nice mix...thanx
Thanks!♥️

We tend to go for stainless steel here and this should not really change the herbs properties. We avoid plastic as the hot water could easily leach chemicals from the plastic into the tea - not good! I hope that helps

Peter, I'm giving up diet soda....Please can we have more herbal recipes for cold teas?
@marianamunoz6075
8 ай бұрын
I gave it up as well- cold turkey& I’m soda-free since March 20, 2023. Actually, I went cold turkey on all sugars; except sugar naturally found in fruits/vegetables. I can share what helps me- I bought a carbonator (so worth it) & I make my own “sodas” by adding lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, oranges, blueberries, hibiscus flower, etc., to the bubbly water! Delicious even alone but my favorite go-to’s are: hibiscus & cucumber/mint. Good Luck to you You don’t need a carbonator though, you could do the same blends using cold, filtered water & infuse.
If you can't get California poppy what can you substitute it with? If all you can get is the tincture, how can you use it with the tea?

I wouldn't trust herbs from Amazon necessarily. Sometimes people sell something and it isn't the herb they claim. I have had this issue. Given that some herbs can interact with medications and have wildly different effects, you really want a reliable herb company, preferably a local herbalist. Mountain Rose Herbs is quite good.
So you didn’t say weather you use the valerian root or the leaves ,,,,,,,and can any rose petals do????

I have seen a lot of videos on elderberry tinctures, but I understood that you have to cook them for at least ten or fifteen minutes to rid the toxins. Though in videos, when the tinctures are made they just put alcohol and raw berries. I was wandering if in tinctures does it change due to the alcohol? Or would it be best to simmer them in a bit of water before adding a higher percentage of alcohol to off set the dilution from the water for simmering?
