4 Surprising Benefits of Drinking CBD Tea

Drinking tea has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. It originated in ancient China specifically as a medical drink, and from there spread through the world over time. Even now you can get special teas specifically made to help improve your immune system, relax, and reduce stress.

CBD is growing in popularity thanks to research in the last decade that has discovered the many health benefits it provides. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a relatively new natural health supplement that is extracted from cannabis plants like marijuana and hemp. On its own, lab-tested CBD products have no psychoactive properties that make you high, and are safe to take.

With tea and CBD having individual benefits for your well being, it makes sense to combine them together. When you do so, you will find that there can be surprising benefits that result from the combination.

Treat Nausea

One of the main benefits of CBD is being able to settle your stomach. This is why it is used for cancer patients who deal with nausea from their disease and/or chemotherapy treatments. Herbal teas can also be used to reduce nausea, especially when it includes ingredients like ginger, peppermint, and lemongrass. Combining an herbal tea with CBD, which itself comes from natural plants, can be great for your stomach’s health.

Improved Sleep

Tea and CBD can also both be used to help people get a better night’s sleep. There are numerous reasons why people may have trouble sleeping: pain, stress, restlessness, and more. CBD has been shown to help improve sleep quality, and to reduce things that can interfere with your sleep. Tea can accomplish the same thing, especially things like chamomile, melatonin, valerian, and others. 

Stress Relief

Another common reason why people drink tea is simply to relax. The warmth of tea by itself can be soothing and relaxing, and you can also get teas with herbal ingredients that promote stress reduction, such hibiscus or chamomile. CBD is also a great way to reduce stress

The simple ritual of drinking tea in the morning or in the evening before bed is a calming practice for many people. You can drink CBD ahead of a big meeting or stressful situation, and studies have shown that you will feel less anxious than you would normally.  

Reducing Inflammation

One of the main factors in a lot of acute and chronic pain issues is inflammation, which comes as a natural body response to an injury and many illnesses: arthritis, fibromyalgia, and even digestion issues like Crohn’s disease. Being able to reduce inflammation can therefore help relieve pain and other symptoms that come from it. 

With CBD, it has very strong anti-inflammatory properties. Tea made with turmeric, ginger, rosehip and green teas also have anti-inflammatory effects. Combining the two can be a great supplement to people with chronic inflammatory issues to get much needed relief.

These four benefits from CBD tea can be surprising if you’ve only ever tried one of them on their own. It can be surprising to have used tea for nausea or stress relief before, then to try CBD tea and feel how much more effect it has on you. With such a wide variety of tea to choose from, you can get a CBD mix to help with any of the above issues with ease.
