Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a highly effective adrenal tonic traditionally used in China for thousands of years, for alleviating stress and adrenal fatigue. Licorice helps prevent the breakdown of adrenal hormones including cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone), which makes these hormones more available to the body. Poor adrenal gland function can contribute to poor sleep patterns. Consuming licorice tea before bed can help improve sleep and assist with feeling more refreshed and alert when you wake. Licorice is also a wonderful anti-inflammatory, and immune-herb.

Aniseed (Pimpinella anisum) with its licorice-like taste has been used historically to treat sleeplessness and insomnia. Aniseed is also a great digestive herb, relieving wind and upset stomachs, due to its calmative effect.
