Lavender & European Mint Tea with Honey

Why people make this tea

A friend gave Nourilo a bottle of lavender essential oil, and a few drops on the pillow made it noticeably easier to fall asleep. That prompted this tea — a gentle herbal brew that brings together the relaxing properties of lavender with the clear-headed freshness of European peppermint. In Chinese food therapy, peppermint is associated with dispersing wind-heat, clearing the head, and relieving the liver’s stagnation of energy — the pattern behind anxious, frustrated feelings and tension headaches. Lavender adds a calming, nerve-soothing effect long recognised in both Western herbalism and Chinese wellness practice. Together, a small cup of this tea after a stressful day can feel quietly restorative.
