]]> As we start entering the spring months, many of us are going to be affected by hay fever. This can leave us feeling fed up and miserable. Fortunately, something as simple as drinking herbal teas can often soothe the symptoms of hay fever. Here are some of the best herbal teas for treating hay fever symptoms.

Ginger

Ginger tea is perhaps the most effective at combating the symptoms of hay fever. It helps unblock runny noses and is great at treating nausea. This means that it will help with sneezing, coughing, and feeling sick.

Peppermint

Peppermint is very useful for treating sinus infections, coughs, and congestion. It’s a good way to get an energy boost without caffeine, which can exacerbate these symptoms.

Lavender

Lavender calms the nerves, treats infection, and helps you relax. A cup of lavender tea in the evening should help you sleep well. This is very important as our bodies do a lot of healing while we are asleep.

Chamomile

This is another traditional herbal tea that calms the nerves, helps you sleep, and can be useful in managing the stresses of daily life. It can soothe congestion and the stomach as well if you are feeling sick.

Fortunately, there are plenty of herbal infusions and teas that can help you to calm down in a flash. Keep these infusions in your kitchen cabinet if you want to be sure to always have a stress reliever on hand.

Chamomile

Chamomile tea is often lauded for its stomach calming and anti-nausea properties, but did you know that it also has relaxing properties? This tea works equally well as a bed-time sleep inducer and as a mental relaxer.

Lavender

Lavender isn’t just a beautiful flower! Tea made with the buds of these flowers have been shown to induce both sleepiness and relaxation. What’s even better is that this drink is great for any time of the year, as it can be enjoyed both iced and hot.

H E R B A L I N F U S I O N S Herbal infusions are one of my favourite ways to take my herbs. I enjoy the ritual of making a herbal tea and taking 5 minutes out of my day to focus on the task at hand.

Infusions are the process of steeping/soaking herbs in hot or cold water until the water absorbs all the flavours, phytochemicals and water soluble constituents and then consuming the liquid either for the medicinal value or taste. The amount of time you steep your herbs depends on the potency you desire and can be anywhere between 5 minutes to 1 hour.

Herbal infusions are usually made with the delicate parts of plants – leaves, flowers and non-woody stems. They are a great option for those who choose not to consume herbal tinctures due to their alcohol content.

🌼 A go-to calming infusion of mine includes: Chamomile Lemon Balm Lavender It nourishes the nervous system and is great after dinner to support digestion. 

✨What’s your favourite herbal infusion?

Valerian

The valerian plant is gaining more and more popularity as an herbal sleep aid and relaxation aid, and one of the most popular ways to take it is as an infusion. As both an anti-anxiety and drowsiness aid, the infusion from this plant is a miracle worker.
