Sleep teas typically contain a blend of botanicals known for their calming and sedative properties. Common ingredients found across various brands include Chamomile and Passionflower. Other popular ingredients include Lemon Balm, Peppermint, and Valerian root. Some unique Australian-made teas feature native ingredients like wild-harvested Jilungin, which is used as a traditional sleep aid.
Sleep teas work by using natural, calming ingredients that help the body and mind relax. For example, the brand Roogenic (one of our favourites here at Aussie Health) includes Jilungin, are used to promote deep, restorative sleep and help with stress-related insomnia by calming and soothing the body.
Some sleep tea blends are considered suitable for children who have difficulty settling at night. In some cases, adding one of these blends to warm almond milk with honey as a bedtime drink for children can often be quite effective. However, we recommend that it is always best to check the specific product's instructions and ingredients, as we offer a range of different sleep teas.
Most sleep teas are non-addictive and are not associated with a "hangover effect" that can sometimes be associated with other sleep aids. However, if you are unsure about the ingredients, it is always best to check with a professional healthcare provider.
The recommended time to drink sleep tea varies by brand, but generally, it is suggested to be consumed in the evening as part of your bedtime routine. Recommendations typically range from 30 to 60 minutes before you plan to go to sleep to allow the calming properties of the tea to take effect.
Yes, many sleep teas contain ingredients that may help with anxiety and stress. Ingredients like Passionflower are known to improve sleep quality in those with anxiety. Similarly, Jilungin tea has been shown to help with anxiety and stress-related insomnia. These blends can help to calm a racing mind and promote a state of relaxation.
The main difference between loose-leaf and teabags is often potency and convenience. Loose-leaf tea is said to have higher flavour and potency for maximum therapeutic benefit. Additionally, many loose-leaf tea companies promote their products as being plastic-free, in contrast to some teabags that may contain plastic. Teabags, on the other hand, offer the convenience of pre-portioned single servings. Both are effective for creating a relaxing brew.
Many organic and high-quality brands state that their sleep teas are free from artificial flavourings, sweeteners, or preservatives. Some teas may contain natural sweeteners like Stevia leaf. However, it is important to check the ingredients list on the packaging as some brands may use natural or artificial flavourings in their blends.
Some sleep teas contain specific warnings against use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. For example, one brand explicitly states their tea is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. We strongly advise consulting with your doctor or a healthcare professional before consuming any new herbal products while pregnant or breastfeeding.
