When it comes to herbal remedies for insomnia, herbal tea is often mentioned as a natural insomnia cure. However, we often find chamomile claiming all the glory and knew there had to be more options out there. So, we went looking and here’s what we found, courtesy of NYCTCM.
- Scallion tea (soothes the nerves).
- Perilla (Zi Su Ye) tea (a stress reliever).
- Squash tea (improves the circulation of your qi energy).
- Suan Zao Ren tea (calms the spirit and calms the nerves).
- Walnut tea (contain melatonin).
To be honest, we hadn’t heard of two of these (can you guess which ones?!) and we never would have considered making tea with the other three! That being said, if you’re after natural remedies for insomnia, these herbal teas could be worth a try.
As always, there's more information and advice in our insomnia support forum.
