I love that ‘wellnesses’ doesn’t need to be an expensive trip to a spa. It’s more about taking a moment to check in with how you’re feeling and making yourself a cup of tea. It costs practically nothing, other than time that, let’s face it, you should give yourself.
This is for all of you tea lovers out there, probably mega-millions. Have a cup and feel better.
Soothing Teas
Other than daily, I’m really into teas when I’m feeling less than 100%… I love ginger tea and drink it whenever I feel a bit off in the tummy, and also find lemon and honey helps to soothe a sore throat. Chai is my favorite when I’m feeling a cold come on, and peppermint helps me to digest after a big meal. I know there are lots of other soothing teas but these are just the ones I use personally!
Most of the teas that I’ve listed you will be able to buy, but a few of them you need to make. These are my personal recipes!
