What is it about having a cup a tea that makes up feel better ? For me it is about taking the split second when I draw the cup up to my mouth & I pause for just a second before drinking. It that moment all that I worried about disappears just for that quick moment it is precious.
I have always been a tea drinker since as far back as I can remember & I have always been a black tea drink no milk for me this is something I picked up from my Gran but since starting on my herbal journey drinking a cuppa has become more of little ceremony each time as it is no longer opening a box & pouring water. I now have to listen to what my body wants do I want to cool down or need a little added heat today do I feel bloated, am i struggling to digest my last meal, are my thoughts jumping around my head like a monkey in a jungle, do I need that little extra push to get sh*t done today. Now I know for me it easy to go to my shelves & have a wide array for herbs to chose from & to make a blend. But I am also human & so i get lazy & that when my pre-made blends work their magic. Each time a Client asks for a tea blend I first made a small batch so i can taste it & see what actions it brings is it cooling, heating, drying calming etc & then i might make a large batch to keep on hand so this is where I choose my Lazy Tea from, on a good day i will made a new blend.
Right now we are all going through some very strange times & even if we have never suffered from anxiety before now could be the time we feel it. so I want to give a tea blend for this reason below is a recipe of some herbs that I love to use when I feel a little uncertain about what will happen next it brings me back in to myself.
1 Part Lemon Balm
1 Part Hyssop
2 Part Chamomile
1 Part Licorice Root
A cup of herbal tea can be the most powerful medicine we can give to ourselves & our bodies.
