Rest Filled Nights with Kava Root

I began to develop a sleeping disorder after taking my first job out of college. The main reason for my insomnia could be attributed to a high level of stress and a racing mind that could not be turned off.
I spent countless hours, counting sheep to no avail. Having had a somewhat addictive personality in my past, I was very reluctant to seek medical advice for fear I could grow an addiction to a sleeping aide in form of a pill. Finally, I found an herbal method that would eventually turn sleepless nights into well rested mornings.
I began to frequent a local loose leaf tea shop and became very good acquaintances with the owners. With a short description of my sleeping dilemma, they quickly gave me an antidote to try. The answer was in a tea blend called Kava Root. The blend is a perfect mixture that not only helps relax prior to going to bed, but also helps my stress and anxiety levels drop immensely. Obviously, it is non-caffeinated tea that simply needs to seep in 120 degree water for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. The taste is fantastic; however, I like to add a dash of cinnamon to satisfy my particular taste. I highly recommend giving this tea a try prior to ingesting pharmaceuticals.
