In today's fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush and the pursuit of relaxation and rejuvenation has become essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, although sometimes hard to achieve. This is where the inspiration for Juniper’s Lucid Dream herbal tea blend came from. Our Lucid Dream herbal tea blend is a delightful concoction that promises to transport you to a realm of tranquility and serenity. Infused with a carefully curated selection of herbs and flowers, including tulsi, passionflower leaf and stem, skullcap, ashwagandha, blue cornflowers, ginger, lavender buds, and hibiscus, this unique tea blend is designed to soothe the senses and promote a restful night's sleep. Alongside, we wanted to share a refreshing sparkling NA spritz recipe that complements the tea's calming effects. Let's dive into this dreamy journey!

First off, here’s a little more information about each of the elements of the blend:

• * Tulsi: Also known as Holy Basil, tulsi is renowned for its adaptogenic properties that help the body manage stress. It has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to induce relaxation and improve overall well-being.
• * Passionflower: A beautiful flowering plant with calming effects, passionflower is often used to alleviate anxiety and promote better sleep. It aids in achieving a tranquil state of mind, making it the perfect ingredient for a bedtime tea blend.
• * Skullcap: This herb is highly regarded for its sedative properties, assisting in calming the nervous system and easing tension. It complements the other herbs in the blend to enhance relaxation.
• * Ashwagandha: As another adaptogenic herb, ashwagandha is renowned for its stress-reducing properties. It helps in unwinding after a hectic day and contributes to restful sleep.
• * Blue Cornflowers: Beyond their visual charm, blue cornflowers lend a delicate sweetness to the tea. They, too, possess mild sedative properties, which add to the overall calming experience.
• * Ginger: Renowned for its soothing and warming qualities, ginger complements the blend by aiding digestion and adding a gentle zing to the taste.
• * Lavender Buds: The scent of lavender alone can induce relaxation, but its infusion in the tea amplifies its calming properties. Lavender helps ease stress and encourages a peaceful mind.
• * Hibiscus: This vibrant flower imparts a tangy note to the blend while contributing to better sleep quality. Hibiscus has been linked to improved sleep patterns, making it an excellent addition to this herbal tea blend.
