There is nothing worse during the holidays but to be stressed out. Not only do you have normal stress about family, job and managing your life, but adding in the additional situational stress of shopping for gifts on your list. Wait, there’s so much more: the holiday party for work, holiday parties at school, cooking and so much more. When does the house get clean? There’s that too. There’s so much to do and little time to do it. But everything can be done in term, in a semblance of order and organization, if you stop…, take a deep breath and have a cup of tea.
This tea will seem like magic because it will transform not only your day but your own body, mind and soul. The best part is that you can find one of these “magic” teas at a grocery store near you. You will find respite and give you a chance to savor the elements of the season with a cup of cinnamon tea, courtesy of Traditional Medicinals!
My Take:
I love this Cinnamon tea. It makes the house smell like Christmas (along with the tree). It has helped reduce my stress over shopping, getting my work done and assorted other things on my plate that I didn’t ask for but are there for me to work through. I relax and appreciate that I can get through this bumpy road and enjoy the process if I pause and have a cup of tea that thoroughly relaxes me. It’s just a lovely thing to do for myself. Why don’t you do it for you!
Stress Ease Cinnamon is a new flavor to add the Traditional Medicinals family. Your first sniff of this tea as it brews will calm you by encouraging you to slow down and breathe. It’s a tasty tea as well and I love it for what it does along with what it doesn’t do (make me jittery because of caffeine)>
Knowing Americans are seeking natural ways to relieve stress, the herbalists at Traditional Medicinals have created a new tea within its relaxation line that does just that. New Stress Ease Cinnamon incorporates one of the most powerful herbs to relieve stress: skullcap (scary name, but a wonderful herb that’s part of the mint family). We often call tea time with this plant “herbal happy hour” because it helps us to unwind – without the hangover! Traditional Medicinals blends the leaves, stems, and flowers of skullcap with cinnamon bark and licorice root, which tastes sweet and feels grounding, an ideal combination to bring the body back to balance during stressful times.
Other relaxation products include Cup of Calm (to help you relax anytime), Nighty Night (to help you relax and get a good night’s sleep) and Nighty Night Valerian (to help you mellow out and have a good night’s sleep)

Other Traditional Medicinal stress-reducing teas:
Nighty Night
Passionflower. We love it both for its wildly intense beauty and for its ability to calm and soothe your nervous system and help relieve occasional sleeplessness.* When the Spanish missionaries chanced upon it they saw the perfection of the universe reflected in its anatomical structure. The native people of the Americas used this plant for its ability to promote rest and relaxation—something modern people occasionally need help with too. We’ve added other relaxing herbs, like chamomile, linden flower and hops, to create a mellow blend that will help you rest easy.*
Cup of Calm
In the chaos of everyday life, we could use a little calm, right? How about a cupful? This blend of relaxing herbs like passionflower, chamomile, lavender and catnip will help bring some tranquility to your day (or night).* These herbs are called “nervines” because of their ability to have a beneficial effect on your nervous system.* We love this tea anytime we need to step back and take it easy.

I am happy to know about this brand. I think tea is the most obvious way to take healing herbs without making any sacrifice or taking pills…you just sip your way to health. I have been having a little coffee lately, but drink tea in mass quantities as well.
