A calming walk or a restful night’s sleep can help you find tranquility, but a moment spent over a special cup of tea can be a delicious alternative. Next time you’re in search of a little peace, brew up a cup of herbal tea and settle in. Using herbs to treat specific ailments goes back centuries – in fact, peppermint and chamomile were both discovered in the pyramids of Egypt. Today, herbal teas are treasured for their specific benefits and calming flavor.
