You could easily drink it during the day after a rough meeting or before that flower-essence therapist appointment. Snooze factor: It wonвЂ™t knock you out right away, but it will give you a calm, relaxed energy. As I drank it, I felt like I wanted something more, but maybe IвЂ™m just not appreciative of nuance. Verdict: If youвЂ™re not a fan of chamomile/licorice/all those usual medicine flavors in most sleep-aid bevs, this is your cup of tea. When steeped, this made a darker, gray tea that smelled like oatmeal and tasted very mellow, with hints of.hay? That was the most concrete thing I could put my finger on. ItвЂ™s a lemon balm tea with oatstraw, lavender, and skullcap, which came highly recommended from a flower-essence therapist friend of mine. This was my first time as a human ever to consume catnip, which I knew had great reviews from my cat, Roger, but apparently is also a muscle-relaxing nerve-chiller. That which turns men from sin, saves them from hell.$4 at Target RebeccaвЂ™s Herbal Apothecary Bedtime Blend While sinners are pursuing evil purposes, and indulging their pride, their souls are hastening to destruction. The end and design of these admonitions are to keep men from sin, particularly the sin of pride. вЂњWhen God designs menвЂ™s good, by the convictions and dictates of their own consciences, he opens the heart, as LydiaвЂ™s, and opens the ears, so that conviction finds or forces its way in. вЂњInВ a dream, inВ a vision ofВ the night, whenВ deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds, then heВ opens the ears of men and terrifiesВ them with warnings, that he may turn man aside from hisВ deed, and conceal pride from a man he keeps back his soul from the pit, his life fromВ perishing by the sword.вЂќ Job 33:15-18 God Awakens Our Consience So perhaps Dreamytime Extra may be another suitable name for this soothing bedtime brew. Mostly I would wake with thoughts going through my head, not images. For the longest time I couldnвЂ™t remember dreaming at all.

On a good note, this tea may be responsible for the dreams IвЂ™ve recently been able to recall. So thatвЂ™s my guess as to why Sleepytime Extra caused Jessie to turn Jekyll and Hyde. IвЂ™ve read somewhere that mint can act like catnip to some cats. Thus, I immediately put a stop to her portion of this paranioa potion by withdrawing my tea cup from her presence. Strangley, I wasnвЂ™t keen to be her next victim. Her head spun around quickly in a paranoid manner towards me. Next Jessie immediately returned to my cup for another fix. Once IвЂ™d finished my cup of tea this innocent little cat hopped up on the arm of the sofa, stuck her mug deep into my cup and then proceeded to violently attack her sweet and peaceful sister. I donвЂ™t know about all felines, and my guess is that our tabby (Sheya) would turn her nose up at it and back away.

Keep this tea away from little grey cats. In my opinion drinking any tea will have a calming effect if you stay put and put your feet up for a while.

Is this tea soothing and calming? Possibly. The next night I drifted off to sleep as expected, so it was surely an inconsequential event. The first night I sipped this somewhat minty brew I didnвЂ™t drift off to sleep right away. ItвЂ™s a calming blend to be sure, but does it do the job? Is it soothing, and will it help you drift peacefully off to sleep?

This supposed sleep inducer contains Chamomile, Spearmint, Lemongrass, Hawthorn, Tilia Flowers and Vallarian. Therefore, it would have been pummeled to the ground and a wrestling match among the crispy leaves would have wiped it out instantly. However, the mint doesnвЂ™t take center stage. So technically I could have considered using this one for my mint tea challenge. First, let me tell you a little bit about this wellness blend.Д¬elestial Seasonings Sleepytime Extra is a blend of calming herbs and a hint of spearmint. It sounds nice, right? Ah, but thereвЂ™s more to this story. Imagine the moment: an evening with the spouse on the sofa and a sweet little tabby-cat curled up at your feet. I have another suitable name for it as well. Can you tell?Д¬onsidering the creepy event that occurred while partaking in this calming session with a cup of tea, IвЂ™ve begun to aptly call it Freakytime Extra. ItвЂ™s time for another вЂњT tastes tea!вЂќ IвЂ™m on the fence about this Celestial Seasonings tea.
