Passionflower is a gentle calming herb traditionally used to support relaxation and restful sleep. In herbal teas, it may help ease nervous tension, quiet a racing mind, and promote a sense of emotional balance, making it useful during times of stress or anxiety. Calendula is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. As a tea, it supports digestive health, helps calm irritated tissues, and provides gentle immune and skin support. Its mild, slightly floral taste makes it a nurturing addition to wellness blends. Echinacea is widely used to support immune function. Drinking echinacea tea may help the body’s natural defenses, especially during seasonal challenges. It is often used short-term to support resilience and overall vitality. Lavender is valued for its relaxing aroma and gentle calming effects. In tea form, it may help reduce stress, support digestion, and encourage restful sleep, contributing to both mental and physical wellbeing. Blessings Rachel 🌻 🌱
