Spearmint: In South-East Asia, spearmint is commonly used to help people reduce their stress levels and get a decent night’s sleep. This is because spearmint is laced with menthol, an essential oil that can refresh the senses, calm the body, and promote gentle relaxation. Spearmint does this by stirring up the GABA receptors in your brain and helping these neurotransmitters to chill out taking you into a soft state of relaxation.
Rosemary: Evidence suggests that rosemary may improve cognitive function by boosting brain activity involved in mood regulation. Compounds contained in rosemary may inhibit the enzyme activity known to increase aging-related neurodegenerative diseases.
As a result, this herb can help you get out of all kinds of overwhelming feelings.
Passion Flower: Studies suggest it might help relieve insomnia and anxiety. It appears to boost the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in your brain. This compound lowers brain activity, which may help you relax and sleep better.
Chamomile: This daisy-like flower is synonymous with calm, making it among the most well-known stress-soothing teas. One 2016 study found that long-term use of chamomile extract significantly reduced moderate to severe symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.
CBD: It can activate some serotonin receptors, and the serotonin system is associated with alleviating anxiety. This may provide immediate relaxation when taken orally.
