F I N A L L Y ~ a blend specially crafted for all that suffer from headaches, whether self-inflicted from an unpleasant hangover after a night of too much fun, or for those who deal with tension, stress, environmental, seasonal headaches + beyond.
 
This blend is a combination of herbal allies known to calm the central nervous system, open the airways, helping to aid in relieving sinus pressure and inflammation leading to headaches. 
 
Peppermint contains menthol, which acts to help in relaxing muscles, easing pain and reducing tension . Tension is often a culprit of headaches. Peppermint also acts to help open the airways, relieving you from sinus pressure, whether from seasonal allergies or an unpleasant seasonal cold or bug going around. 
 
Lemon Balm, is also a part of the mint family. This herb is considered to be a cooling nervine, which helps to relieve tension + calms the nervous system. Lemon balm has a bright lemony flavor, giving this blend an uplifting taste and smell. Lemon balm is known to help relieve stress naturally, in turn aiding stress induced headaches.
 
Chamomile, is also a calming nervine, a jack of many trades and one of my favorite herbs to use for it's pleasantly sweet flavor and beautiful little flowers. Chamomile in this blend is used to relax, reduce stress, + reduce inflammation. Often times inflammation can lead to unpleasant headache pain. 
 
Catnip (not just for your furry cat friends) is also a part of the mint family + acts as a mild sedative, containing nepetalactone. This can help relieve insomnia / sleeping disorders, anxiety, migranes, headaches + overall improve your day to day. Catnip can also be helpful during times of digestive upset and menstral crampig (due to its anti spasmodic properties). Also acting as a natural decongestant, it can loosen phlegm, supress coughing and help bring your fever down. 
 
Lemon Peel was added, as lemon has proven to be an effective remedy in relieveing headaches naturally. Lemon Peel contains lots of vitamin C + fiber. D-limonene, a compound that gives lemon it's aroma, is also found within the peel and thought to be a big contributer to many of the fruit's benefits. 
 
Lavender, another herb with many medicinal properties, a major one is reducing stress, anxiety, tension + promoting relaxation. Many studies show that lavender can help aid those suffering with stress induced headaches. Just the aroma of lavender while steeping your herbal tea, may be enough to help knock down some of the inflammation + stress causing your unpleasant symptoms. 
 
Rosemary, is often thought of as a culinary herb, but can also be used for herbal teas. Rosemary acts to encourage blood flow to the brain, which can help to reduce inflammation that may be causing your pains. Just as lavender, breathing in the scent of rosemary, is thought to help in relieving tension + pain from headaches.  Rosemary may also help naturally improve mood, and reduce oxidative damage/stress. 
 
Ginger Root helps to improve circulation, relaxing blood vessles and improving blood flow to the brain. It also contains anti inflammatory properties, which can help relieve common headache causes. 
 
This blend may be specific for headaches, but it can also be used for numerous other treatments and drinken daily as a stress relieving tea, to help you mindfully tackle your day to day. It also makes a nice night time tea, with many calming herbs to help you unwind.
 
However you choose to drink it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do + it brings you relief + relaxation.
