The solution to your lack of energy and restless nights is just a cup of tea away.

Herbal teas have become much more than just an alternative to coffee. The recent spike of interest in wellness practices has health-savvy consumers demanding natural products — like herbal teas — that can help them feel good and cure what ails them. Spearmint, ginger and oh-so-trendy matcha, for example, boast properties that can soothe common health concerns, such as a hormone imbalance, heartburn or lack of energy.

Below, a roundup of five herbal teas with amazing health benefits you need to know about.

1. Matcha tea for energy

Matcha is often used as an energy booster, but this brilliant green powder does so much more than just that. It’s packed with antioxidants, including epigallocatechin gallete, which can prevent cancer, it boosts metabolism and detoxifies your body, and it can even help with concentration and help combat anxiety.

2. Rooibus tea for anti-aging benefits

Like green tea, rooibos is packed with antioxidants — in fact, some say it contains 50% more than that found in green tea. Rooibos also boasts zinc and alpha-hydroxy acids, which help prevent and even reverse fat that’s lost under the skin as we age.

3. Spearmint tea to balance hormones

Spearmint teas are getting a lot of attention for their ability to level out hormones — and do so naturally. Spearmint plants are high in phytoestrogens, which counter androgen hormones, an excess of which cause us to feel imbalanced and moody. Spearmint tea is also useful in reducing testosterone, a type of androgen, which can minimize the symptoms of PCOS. 

4. Ginger tea for good digestion

To ease an upset stomach, or simply aid in the digestion of a heavy meal, ginger tea is the way to go. Ginger relaxes the intestines, thereby preventing bloating and decreasing gas. It’s beneficial for anyone with IBS symptoms, heartburn and motion sickness.  

5. Valerian tea for sleep and relaxation

Winding down at the end of a hectic day can require some assistance. Enter valerian tea. This natural sedative boasts calmative effects, so no matter if your insomnia is caused by stress, anxiety or cramps, valerian can help you relax and drift into dreamland.
