I am a late night owl, and can sometimes suffer from mild insomnia in that I usually have too much to do before bedtime. I work later hours as well.
A life on the go means lots of stress on the body, both inside and out.
I tend to suffer from acid reflux because of the copious amounts of caffeine I consume, and I have trouble sleeping at night if I don't take some form of medication, which I loathe. I also suffer from adult acne, which is a pain in the arse.
Recently I decided to try an organic approach to my problems, and I must say, I'm enjoying it!
I've heard some trials about Manuka honey and the natural benefits that come with it. It's said to be great for the skin and digestive system with its antibacterial properties. I also know of the effects of peppermint tea on the digestive system. So, I decided to concoct a little remedy of my own.
This recipe has helped me sleep at night and has, thus far, kept my skin breakouts to a minimum. I've only just started drinking it, so the jury is still out, but thus far, I'm enjoying it.
Nightime Cleansing tea
A cup of steaming water and a packet of Traditional Medicinals Organic Peppermint Tea
A teaspoon of Manuka honey (make sure its the real deal, pure raw, organic Manuka honey)
A squirt of lemon juice
Drink and enjoy! :D
