Mother's Little Helper/Vata Ayurvedic mix from Custom - DAVIDsTEA

aisling of tea drank Mother's Little Helper/Vata Ayurvedic mix by Custom - DAVIDsTEA

So I mixed this one based on the recommendation of someone here on Steepster (I forget who, sorry!). Let me tell you, this sucker worked to help me sleep. I fell asleep waiting for my wife to refill the humidifier. Best sleep I’ve had in a long while…I think this might be one I keep around for those rough nights where I can’t sleep. I don’t quite remember how it tasted, but I remember it wasn’t amazing and it wasn’t horrible. shrugs

That is SOOO WEIRD – I just made this mix today as well (except I just randomly decided to do it), to help some mysterious stomach cramping. It made me really woozy and tired, but also helped my cramps :) every sip I took, I could feel my muscles relaxing. It also seemed to help with some of the muscles in my back, as I was experiencing upper back pain as well. It was pretty good, but still retained the bitterness from the MLH, and the fennel from the Vata. I would love to take it on a night when I can’t sleep.

WE ARE AS OOOOOONE. But yeah, I don’t know why I hadn’t tried these teas before!

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
