The holiday season can bring joy — but also stress, disrupted routines, and sometimes total energetic burnout.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, bloated, or just tired, you’re not alone.

The good news? Simple herbal routines can help support your digestion, ease stress naturally, and restore your energy so you feel more grounded all month long.

This guide walks you through three easy routines using herbal teas and herbs for stress support, gut health, and overall well-being.

1. Digest Routine: Herbal Support for Gut Health During the Holidays

Best for: bloating, heavy meals, sluggish digestion, gut discomfort, feeling “puffy” after eating.

The holidays can bring rich foods, irregular eating times, and emotional stress — all of which affect your gut health. Most people don’t realize that the gut and nervous system are deeply connected, meaning stress can slow digestion and lead to bloating, gas, and discomfort.

How to Support Digestion with Herbal Tea

Before meals:
Sip 2–3 ounces of warm herbal tea to stimulate digestive enzymes and stomach acid.

After meals:
Drink a full cup to ease fullness, reduce gas, and support smoother digestion.

Herbal Teas That Support Digestion & Gut Health

• JuneTeanth – soothing herbs that help reduce bloating, support heart health, and ease digestive tension
• Catskill Cozy– mood supportive and digestion balancing herbs that support the gut-brain connection
• Wholy Chai- supports digestion and inflammation in the body
• Any herbal blend with ginger, fennel, peppermint, or chamomile

These herbs help relax the digestive tract and improve post-meal comfort.

 Why This Routine Works

Herbal teas have long been used to support gut health because they are:

• anti-inflammatory
• soothing to the digestive lining
• helpful for reducing gas and bloating
• supportive for the gut–nervous system connection

2. De-Stress Routine: Herbal Tea for Stress Support & Nervous System Balance

Best for: holiday overwhelm, busy schedules, high cortisol, emotional intensity, mental fatigue.

Stress is one of the biggest wellness concerns during the holiday season — and herbal teas are one of the simplest ways to support your nervous system.

Daily Herbal Tea Routine for Stress Support

Morning:
Start with a calming blend that helps your body ease into the day without tension.

Midday:
Take a 5-minute herbal break — even two deep breaths with a warm mug can shift your nervous system.

Evening:
Choose a relaxing tea instead of an extra glass of wine.

Best Herbs & Herbal Tea Blends for Stress:

• Tension Tamer– melts mental tension without making you sleepy
• LuLLL Yourself To Sleep – relaxing, calming herbs that support emotional balance and a full night's rest
• Catskill Cozy – calming herbs to help you wind down after a stressful day

Why This Routine Works

Herbs that support & regulate the nervous system. They help:

This is the easiest routine to start if you feel overstimulated, anxious, or spread thin.

3. Restore Routine: Herbal Rituals for Energy, Mood & Daily Resilience

Best for: fatigue, low motivation, burnout, social exhaustion, sluggish mornings.

The holidays can drain your energy quickly — especially if stress and irregular meals are part of the picture.

Mood supportive herbs and nourishing blends help your body restore energy naturally instead of relying on caffeine.
