We’ve all had those restless nights of tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, unable to get more than a couple hours of shuteye.
The more you worry about not sleeping, the more your mind races, and next thing you know, the sun is peeking through the window.
I’ve spent one too many nights this way and needed to put an end to my poor sleeping patterns. I came across this delicious tea recipe and it improved my cycle completely.
Irregular sleeping patterns or even insomnia can stem from several different things like depression, stress and anxiety.
Almost every night, I would get into bed and my mind would be racing. Whether I was thinking about work, family, or simply the things I needed to get done the next day, I just couldn’t allow myself to relax. If your mind is active, chances are you won’t fall asleep.
Certain medications can also cause insomnia.
Pain medications, antihistamines, and heart and blood pressure medicines are among the many that contribute to sleep loss. Yes, some meds might actually make you drowsy at first, but they can also trigger frequent bathroom trips or anxiety which can further disturb your rest.
Whether it’s one of these issues or maybe it’s that you’re addicted to your phone when you should be sleeping, something needs to change.
BANANA TEA
Using only a couple items that are likely already in your kitchen, you can whip together a banana tea in no time!
This organic, banana-infused sleep remedy works wonders and tastes so good. How does it work?
Bananas, especially the peels, are loaded with potassium and magnesium. While magnesium helps prevent sleep disturbances, both magnesium and potassium work together to help relax muscles.
In fact, magnesium is one of the best minerals for relaxation!
Keep in mind, this recipe calls for 100% organic bananas. Bananas that are not organic are loaded with harmful pesticides and since we encourage you to eat the boiled peel, it must be chemical-free.
This tea takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and can be enjoyed every night before bed.
Ingredients:
- 1 organic banana
- 1 small pot of water
- A dash of cinnamon (optional)
Preparation:
You should cut off the ends of the banana, and place it, unpeeled, in the boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes, and strain it using a colander. Pour the resulting liquid into a mug. You can sprinkle some cinnamon over it, to enrich the taste and enjoy it!
This delicious dessert will relax your senses and provide a soothing sensation.
