This combination of herbs helps you chill out during and after a stressful day and allows this item to fall away while you are at home enjoying your evening. What is a Calming Hug? A warm hug achieves several emotional and physiological effects because of the Release of oxytocin: Known as the “love hormone”, oxytocin promotes feelings of trust, nurturing, and calm. Mood improvement: Hugs elevate mood, fostering happiness and overall well-being. Reduction of anxiety and depression: Physical touch can reduce stress and anxiety. Emotional connection: Hugs create a strong emotional bond between people. Stress management: The comfort of a hug can help manage stress. The act of hugging also releases oxytocin stored in the pituitary gland, which gives that feeling of love, familiarity, and fellowship and is why we have the instinct to hug our children, our parents, and our friends. That release of oxytocin, along with serotonin, helps lower stress by de-escalating cortisol in the body. In this sense, hugging is an accessible and effective stress management tool. Physically, studies have linked hugging to a decrease in physical pain and an improvement in cardiovascular health. Hugging is one of the most unintentionally comprehensive practices you can do, and it does not cost any money. Our tea was built to help reduce stress and promote relaxation. This is a great blend that can be used during the afternoon to start the calming process without losing cognitive ability. It allows you to calm and destress prior heading home for the day and moves you into the evening!

We based this blend on Rooibos. Rooibos has calming properties and can support relaxation and stress reduction without the typical jitters associated with caffeine intake. Caffeine also acts as a diuretic, removing fluid from the body through urine. Therefore, the low caffeine content in rooibos tea indicates that it can better support hydration efforts than caffeine-containing teas. We included Catnip which has a calming effect on the body due to its active ingredient, nepetalactone. It interacts with receptors in the brain to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and restfulness. Catnip is often consumed as an herbal tea before bed to help with sleep. Cardamom because it has a mild sedative-like effect on the nervous system when taken before bedtime, reducing fatigue, relaxing muscles, calming mental agitation, and supporting an easy transition to sleep. The aromatic scent of cardamom can also have a calming effect on the mind, reducing stress and anxiety in aromatherapy. Pecans and Pistachios are often considered to be great product for sleep. Though the exact amounts can vary, nuts contain melatonin and omega-3’s as well as minerals like magnesium and zinc, which together can help people sleep better. Cinnamon has many benefits, including stress relief, improved relaxation, and enhanced sleep quality. Cinnamon is known for reducing stress, improving mood, and boosting physical energy. It helps to reduce inflammation and control blood sugar levels. Gynostemma was also included because it is recognized for its adaptogenic properties and may help the body cope better with stress and anxiety, which are common culprits behind sleep disturbances. Adaptogens like Gynostemma can balance the body’s stress-response system. By reducing stress and anxiety, Gynostemma could help create a more conducive environment for sleep, leading to a more restful and uninterrupted night. Gynostemma has been reported to promote a state of calmness and relaxation in users, which can be beneficial for individuals struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep due to mental unrest or agitation. Improved relaxation can lead to better sleep quality and duration. Chicory Root was also added because may have a relaxant effect on the central nervous system. It contains antioxidants like Sesquiterpene lactone and lactucopicrin, which can provide some soothing action. Chicory root tea is caffeine-free, refreshing, relaxing, flavorful, and delicious. It is full of antioxidants, which protect cells and help fight oxidative stress. Chicory root is believed to have a calming and soothing effect on people, acting as a sedative and helping to minimize symptoms of stress.
