Herbal teas for the evening: after work, before dinner and for sleep

In this context, the word herbal tea has incredible power: it is capable of triggering a fantasy of slowness, time to oneself, well-being and a certain, rather instinctive desire to indulge our most natural rhythm.In the common imagination, herbal tea is synonymous with evening and for us at Wilden this binomial is expressed in many ways. Let’s see which ones.

Evening herbal teas: a wealth of benefits for every lifestyle

Taking a relaxing herbal tea in the evening has several advantages and benefits: it is a ritual rich in beneficial properties for the nervous system and the immune system in general. It is able to ward off thoughts, soften nervous tics, and difficulty getting to sleep, especially if you are prone to restlessness and nighttime anxieties.

An herbal tea has that indiscreet but incredible gift of adapting to your lifestyle: if stress reigns supreme day after day, if you make it your philosophy of life to be “without programs,” if you have embraced a slower, more mindful style, whatever way you get up, breathe, and go to sleep, herbal tea will know how to fit into your routine to improve it.

And you know what the best thing is? There is not only one herbal tea for the evening, but with us at Wilden you can choose the one that best suits how you live your evenings – or choose them all if your evenings change schedule frequently.

Remedium no. 6 – Relaxation: after work, before dinner

If when you come home or get off after a productive day, you want to enjoy that great interlude after working hours and before dinner, then the Remedium No. 6 – Relaxation Is the herbal tea for you. We call it “the herbal tea for seizing the moment”: choose the activity to go with sip after sip; it can be a book, an episode of that series you’re into, a record you’ve been wanting to listen to for a long time.

Among its ingredients you find:

• lavender and passionflower, an amazing combo to impart a soothing action to you, to eradicate deep-seated tensions and to promote that much-needed relaxation;
• thyme, an excellent calming agent for body and psyche, promotes sleep, relaxation and strengthens clarity, memory and concentration (we promise, you won’t fall asleep while listening to that podcast!);
• verbena, a plant with antispasmodic properties and capable of relieving nervous tension and facilitating relaxation;
• Hawthorn, with vasodilator properties, balances blood pressure and restores emotional and mental serenity, giving you a good feeling of well-being.

Remedium no. 3 – Digestive: to feel light

And after dinner, especially if the menu has been generous and you have overestimated the superpowers of your stomach, better to aid digestion with a Remedium No. 3 – Digestive . We usually recommend it right after lunch or in the afternoon, but it can also come to the rescue in the evening if you’ve overindulged a bit with food.

Inside you find a world of great herbs, but the ones that will help you feel better in the evening are:

• ginger, great for preparing for sleep, aiding digestive processes, conciliating muscle relaxation, and giving serenity to the mind-no small feat!
• lemon balm, very rich in antispasmodic and sedative properties, is frequently used in visceral somatizations of anxiety;
• lemon, before bedtime, brings numerous benefits to the body: it protects the immune system, mitigates anxiety and nervousness and is a friend to digestion;
• rosemary, a stomach ally, helps against gastritis, reflux and a bloated belly, as well as giving that much-needed sense of relaxation in the evening.

Remedium no. 1 – Night: in the arms of Morpheus

And then there is he, the Remedium No. 1 – Night : a herbal tea conceived, designed, created and made to gently lull you to sleep when it’s bedtime. Each ingredient is rich in calming and sedative properties capable of conciliating sleep and improving the quality of your night’s rest. In short, nothing better to end a long day.
Its blend of 8 herbs is designed to balance each other out:sweet orange, fragrant starlet and mallow infuse a delicate taste that tickles the palate, chamomile is synonymous par excellence with calm and restful sleep, while lemon balm, passion flower, linden and hawthorn act to promote a very pleasant feeling of relaxation. In short: the best herbal tea for evening and sleep.

Going to bed with a smile: Detox, Hangover and Boost

We said it at the beginning: each person experiences the evening moment in a totally personal way. There are those who look for a valuable ally in an herbal tea after period of revelry or after good nights (we talked about it here with an in-depth discussion on Remedium No. 7 – Detox and the Remedium No. 4 – Hangover ) or those who need support during a time of stress or head or mind strain (and then they can turn to the Remedium No. 2 – Boost which we recounted best here).

The beauty, as always, is the gratifying feeling that a herbal tea gives, sip after sip: a world unleashed in all its aromas, tastes, flavors. A world capable of ferrying us during the intimate moment that is the evening.

Now it’s up to you to choose how.
