Adding Sleep Tea to your nightly routine is the ritual your tired body and mind have been asking for. Our nourishing combination of botanicals can support cellular function that creates restful sleep. Get the sleep you need tonight so you can be the best you tomorrow.
Sleep is often at the top of the list of physical complaints, be it from stress, menopause, an active mind or a new baby (and all of the variables in between). If we don’t get enough sleep our mental function is diminished, as is nervous system function, metabolism and endocrine function throughout the next day. Our sleep tea is a nourishing ritual to add to your nightly routine to ensure that you get all the sleep you need.
