Oh Daisy, Make Me Fall Asleep

A poetic line, which we always wish for. A sound sleep, that will make all the stress disappear. Especially, in these times of COVID-19, de-stressing and mental wellness is what we all seek. Of course, everyone’s Daisy will be different, whose warmth will put you to sleep like a baby. But there’s one more Daisy, which will help you sleep and no one’s Daisy will be jealous. It’s Chamomile, a Daisy-like flower, which is a famous healer from the botanical world.

Chamomile is one of the oldest medicinal herbs known, which goes back to ancient Egyptian Civilization. Since then it carries a reputation to calm your mind and induce sleep. Drinking a cup of Chamomile tea daily is also known to decrease anxiety and relieve insomnia.

The healing property of Chamomile is particularly because of its chemical structure. Chamomile extract contains an antioxidant called Apigen. This antioxidant binds to specific receptors in the brain that may help in decreasing anxiety and initiating sleep. Chamomile is also referred to as a light sedative or mild tranquillizer. So sip a cup of Chamomile tea and this sweet Daisy will make you help you fall asleep.

At Nukkad Café, the Chamomile tea is blended along with Rose petals, which also adds additional antioxidants, boosting stress relief. Chamomile tastes earthy with hints of apple and floral sweetness. Whereas rose petals bring the enticing flavour of rose. This blend of health, flavour & aroma lets calmness seep in you and it’s a must-have for your mental wellbeing.

Love of Daisy is best when you gently give it time. To make a cup of tea, let Rose Chamomile steep in a hot water and avoid boiling it. Boiling will vaporise the essential oils from Chamomile and it will reduce calmness inducing effect. So let’s not boil Daisy to anger and lose her calmness. As per your preference, you can steep it in both hot and cold water (steeping in cold water will take longer, alternative you can steep it in hot water and let it cool). Every sip of it will make you calmer. A pack of 10 or 20 tea bags of Rose Chamomile tea can be ordered online and delivered all across India.
