Teatime is the time of the day that each one looks forward too. It helps to ease out the stress of the day. Those few minutes with a cup of tea in your hand are a perfect way to boost your energy for the rest of the day. If the tea has herbal and medicinal properties, then it gives you refreshment along with good health. Side effects: Excessive amounts can lead to side effects and so you should stop taking it and see your doctor.

Chamomile and lavender are well-known for their ability to promote relaxation. But you’re probably more familiar with lavender-scented sleep products, like face masks and bath soaks, than you are with lavender teas.
