Cortisol Lowering Tea

This is a beautiful, synergistic tea blend for calming the nervous system and supporting balanced stress hormones.

Holy Basil

How it helps lower cortisol:

Holy basil is one of the most respected adaptogenic herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. Adaptogens help the body adapt to stress - physical, emotional, or environmental- by balancing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which regulates cortisol production. Studies show that holy basil can help reduce elevated cortisol levels, promote emotional resilience, and improve focus and mental clarity during stressful times.

Other Benefits:

• supports healthy adrenal function
• helps balance blood sugar and energy
• promotes a calm, clear state of mind
• offers antioxidant protection to reduce stress-related cellular damage

Lemon Balm

How it helps lower cortisol:

Lemon balm gently soothes the nervous system and helps calm the body’s stress response. It contains compounds that interact with GABA receptors in the brain (similar to how natural relaxation signals work), promoting a sense of peace and rest. By reducing feelings of tension, worry, and nervous agitation, lemon balm indirectly lowers cortisol by signaling to the body that it’s safe to relax.

Other benefits:

• Eases nervous stomach or digestive upset related to stress

• Promotes restful sleep and calm focus

• May help support balanced thyroid function and mood

Chamomile

How it helps lower cortisol:

Chamomile is one of the most beloved herbs for relaxation and gentle stress relief. It works by calming the nervous system and easing tension throughout the body. Research shows chamomile can reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve sleep quality — both of which help bring cortisol levels back to balance.

Other benefits:

• Eases muscle tension and digestive discomfort

• Promotes deeper, more restful sleep

• Soothes the heart and emotions after emotional stress

• Supports the body’s natural inflammatory response

This trio works harmoniously to calm the mind, relax the body, and gently restore balance to the stress response.

• Holy basil helps regulate cortisol and build resilience to stress.

• Lemon balm eases anxiety and promotes a peaceful mood.

• Chamomile supports relaxation and deep rest.

The result is a comforting cup that soothes both body and mind — helping you unwind, reset, and support your adrenal health naturally.
