Most people who have sleep apnea are not even aware of it - unless they are told they have it. After all, it all happens when you re asleep.
While there is no kind of tea that is an absolute cure for sleep apnea, it is a sort of treatment in that it promotes sleepiness - helping you fall asleep faster. And the faster you fall asleep, the more sleep you will enjoy - even if interrupted by sleep apnea.
There are five kinds of teas in particular that have been found to promote sleepiness. Natural sleep aids, including herbal teas, have been around for hundreds of years because they often work. They are not miracle cures and may, in fact, require several weeks before they make a noticeable difference. If you decide to take the herbal alternative, be sure to talk with your physician to make sure that this is best for you.
Sleepy Time tea: Good for all ages.
Chamomile tea: Drink a cup just before bedtime. If you need it sweetened, use a teaspoon of honey. Do not take chamomile tea if you suffer from allergies.
Valerian tea: Pour boiling water over 2 teaspoons of valerian root, infused for 15 minutes, and drink it just before bedtime. This tea is not the best tasting in the world but is highly recommended for calming nerves and promoting sleep.
Hops tea: Add 1 ounce of hops to 1 pint of boiling water. Drink this tea three times a day.
Catnip tea: This mint-tasting, common garden plant can help promote natural, restful sleep. Just add a 1 teaspoon of dried catnip to 1 cup boiling water, infuse, strain and drink just before bedtime.
