The reduction of watery stinging eyes and the puffiness associated with allergy can be quite immediate in some people after drinking Nettle Tea.

It's a bit cliche but we're going to have to pick Chamomile Tea as the top relaxation tea in our list. There are others such as passionflower and valerian but they really don't taste as good. Part of the relaxation effects of Chamomile Tea is the taste itself!
We've found the more organic and natural the Chamomile Tea is specifically loose leaf the stronger the effects. The taste may not be quite as strong as what you're used to from supermarket bought teas but you will definitely notice the increased sense of relaxation.
