Anti Mania / Grounding Herbal Tea

Good morning moon babes! Soooo i'm not sure if i casually brought it up or not here (I talk about this more freely on my ‘secret’ tiktok account where I show more mental health, beauty, lifestyle stuff) buttt I have bipolar 2 (always have lol). While on livestream last friday I was talking with you guys about being in a bit of a hypomanic moment and was working on medicinaI share my notes and what I was able to find out through my studies for a herbal blend I can take internally while also dealing with this doing the things my doctor recommends as well as therapist.

I ended up making a tea blend and enjoying its energy evening last week, while it didn't stop the hypomanic episode, it definitely helped me feel more grounded and in control. This blend does not just have to be for people who are experiencing bipolar 1 or 2- this blend is good for anti anxiety, stress, and insomnia.

Skullcap - this is a powerhouse herb - can be used for anxiety and insomnia, stress relieving,

Ashwagandha- helps your body deal with stressors you are currently facing.

Lemon balm for better sleep, anxiety, and stress relief.

Valerian - From what I could find in research a lot of tincture form of valerian is used in bipolar disorder treatments and therapies.

Chamomile-Overall calming, anti stress, grounding.

Passionflower-Calming, treat insomnia, body pain reducing, can help regulate your body temperature as well.

Tea Recipe:

2 Tablespoons Skullcap

2 Tablespoon Passionflower

1 Tablespoon Chamomile

1 Tablespoon Valerian

1 Tablespoon Ashwagandha

2 Tablespoons Lemon balm

I personally prayed over the herbs for calmness, racing thoughts to simmer down, and restfulness if even I don't sleep much that night or week.

Boil water on stove or in a kettle, combine all the herbs in a glass jar to keep fresh and fill a tea strainer with one heaping spoon of your herbal blend into the strainer and let steep with hot water for 3 minutes, strain then enjoy with honey.

Let me know if you guys try this blend out and I hope it brings you some peace. I pray it does for those who need it.

XOXO
