Having trouble sleeping? Don't worry, you are not alone.
Many people struggle every night to achieve that much-desired restful sleep. Here I bring you a grandmother's secret: infusions.
Yes, those delicious and aromatic drinks that not only warm the heart but also help you sleep like a baby.
Let's discover together the 5 best infusions for better sleep.
1. Chamomile
The classic chamomile infusion never goes out of style. It's like the Oscar of sleep infusions. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to your brain receptors, telling them it's time to relax.
Furthermore, with its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, your body also feels better. If you suffer from mild insomnia or are stressed, chamomile is like a little trip to the spa.

Now, if your struggle is more intense against anxiety, valerian is your best ally. The roots of this plant are like the samurai warriors of sleep, with active compounds that increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in your brain.
This basically tells your neurons, "Enough working, it's time to sleep!"
4. Lavender
Lavender is not only charming to the eyes, but it is also a dream come true for those looking to relax. With essential oils, such as linalool and linalyl acetate, this flower works on your nervous system, helping you reduce anxiety.
Think of lavender as a warm hug from your best friend. So, why not try a cup of lavender before bedtime? Oh, and it's a bonus if you also use aromatherapy with its essential oil.
5. Orange Blossom Infusion
The orange blossom, delicate yet effective, with its flavonoids and essential oils, envelops you in a sense of calm and well-being. Perfect for those nights when your mind feels like a rollercoaster of thoughts.
