Amy's Nutrition Notes: 

Chamomile:

It’s no surprise that chamomile, equipped with its smooth, sweet and floral undertones, have been included in research recommendations and seen as an important and successful nutraceutical/adaptogen for increasing quality sleep, reducing sleeping disorders and potentially aiding in the reduction of depression and anxiety. Chamomile contains high levels of flavonoids, apigenin and luteolin, which have been shown to enhance vascular relaxation, consequently lowering blood pressure and heart rate which are required processes during the non-REM sleep stage.

Ginger:

Aside from its well-known characteristics of aiding in the reduction of nausea, ginger’s aromatic  component, gingerol, has been shown to be a good component of an anti-inflammatory diet, to support good gastrointestinal function, manage pain, and potentially reduce the risk of metabolic syndromes; in particular, aiding in the promotion of good heart health.

Lavender:

Studies investigating the medicinal use of lavender and lavender in tea in particular, have found that the herb can help to reduce depression and anxiety scores in those that drink it regularly. Due to its affordability and how accessible it is, it is often recommended to be used as a complimentary aid in minimizing anxiety and depression.  It has also been shown to potentially work as a sedative aiding with sleep disorders. The aromatics of lavender and its potential benefits, particularly linalool an adaptogen found in lavender,  has been investigated with promising results including the potential help in reducing anxiety and depression in addition to providing feelings of tranquility and relaxation.
