We talk a lot in wellness circles about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems\u2014the twin pillars of our brain activity that govern how our bodies and minds respond to input of any sort. When we\u2019re stressed, anxious or upset,<\/a> we might go into the sympathetic \u201cfight-flight-or-freeze\u201d mode. And when we\u2019re calm, relaxed and grounded, we enter into a parasympathetic \u201crest-and-digest\u201d state.<\/p>\n

The winter holiday season is a time when it can feel hard to do either of those parasympathetic activities. Rest is hard when we\u2019re planning, shopping, cooking and traveling<\/a>\u2014even harder than usual given that we\u2019re doing those things while still navigating the Covid pandemic. And digestion is famously\u2026let\u2019s say seasonally challenging as we tuck into richer foods, more treats and often back-to-back indulgences.<\/p>\n

Put the stress of the holiday season together with the shift in our eating habits,<\/a> and you\u2019ll see the need for easy, nurturing strategies to ease ourselves in the \u201crest-and-digest\u201d direction. <\/p>\n

I look no further than my teacup at this time of year. Herbal teas hydrate, warm and soothe us<\/a> (no caffeine, thank you very much!). And they cue us to relax, slow down and sip our way toward calm and peace. Here are five of my favorites\u2014and if you buy loose tea, you can combine these flavors to meet yourself wherever you are at tea time.<\/p>\n

1) Mint<\/strong>
\nMint\u2014peppermint in particular\u2014has been found in research studies to have a relaxing impact on smooth muscle, <\/a>including the muscles of the digestive tract. Antimicrobial and antiviral properties and high antioxidant levels add to mint\u2019s appeal as a digestive helper. Sipped in a tea, mint can actually be refreshing, so this is a great choice when you want to ease your tummy but also have the energy to chat with loved ones after dinner.<\/p>\n

2) Ginger<\/strong>
\nGinger is a gentle stimulant to the digestive tract, which helps ease nausea, bloating and cramping<\/a> by moving things along. Fresh ginger boiled for 10-20 minutes makes for a bracing brew, clearing your sinuses, warming your insides and leaving you relaxed and grounded. <\/p>\n

3) Chamomile<\/strong>
\nChamomile tea is a subtle, floral flavor that delivers antioxidants and bloat-reducing properties along with soothing, sleep-inducing compounds <\/a>that help you let go of anxiety and truly rest. Like ginger tea, chamomile tea is particularly delicious with a drizzle of honey melted into your warm, fragrant cup. <\/p>\n

4) Cinnamon<\/strong>
\nCinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties<\/a> that can support immune health, protect you from bacterial infection and even help prevent certain cancers. It is also a highly warming, soothing aroma that fills not only your cup but the whole room with an inviting scent that says \u201cholidays\u201d but also \u201ccome on in and relax.\u201d<\/p>\n

5) Lemon<\/strong>
\n\u201cLemon tea\u201d can simply be hot water stirred together with a squeeze of lemon juice, or water simmered with several strips of lemon peel for 10-20 minutes (strain out the peel before sipping). Dried lemon peel is also a common ingredient in many herbal tea mixtures. The acid in lemon is clarifying and relaxing to the digestive tract, while the vitamin C in lemons can boost immunity. We\u2019re working so hard to stay safe from Covid,<\/a> shouldn\u2019t we also protect ourselves from plain old colds\u2026and relax in the process?<\/p>\n
