Everyone needs help unwinding from time to time. It can be tempting to reach for unhealthy vices in moments of stress, but with this skullcap and lemon balm herbal tea recipe in your arsenal, you’ll have a great way to slow down your mind and relax on tough days.
The secret weapon in this tea mix is an herb called Skullcap. Skullcap is a go-to plant for many herbalists when their clients feel frazzled.
Skullcap is believed to tone and nourish the nervous system, but that’s not all. It is also considered an effective sedative and mood booster that gets to work fast without being overwhelming.
This blend combines skullcap with Lemon Balm, which lends an excellent flavor profile to this tea and is reported to have soothing properties.
Due to the aromatic nature of these herbs, this blend requires less steeping time than some of the other combinations that contain roots and nourishing herbs. When working with herbs with a high concentration of volatile oils, you typically only need to steep them for 10 minutes.
