DAILY CALM TEA (60 cups)

There are many ways to manage and deal with stress from a slow walk to a hot bath, yoga classes, reading, exercising or running or just laying low and resting. In addition to these remedies, herbal teas help us to unwind and de-stress, as well as aid sleep and digestion. Herbal teas tend to work in two ways: providing a mix of calming ingredients and simply giving us room to slow down and experience the present. Herbs can exert an effect on the nervous system and reduce anxiety and stress. For some people, simply the ritual and act of making a cup of tea and sitting down to sip it can be a form of relaxation in itself. Preserva Wellness Daily Calm Tea is designed for inducing good sleep, manages stress and anxiety symptoms and is particularly helpful to unwind in times of stress. For an enhanced experience, the flowers and leaves are kept whole so the aroma and colours can soothe the senses.
