Tea, dammit

[ksmith]

Can anyone out there rec an herb tea that promotes relaxation? I'm currently working my way through a box of Celestial Seasonings "Tension Tamer", which contains ginger, chamomile, and licorice, among other things. One bag in 8 oz tastes like hot water. I've got a two-bagger steeping at the moment.

Nothing illegal, thanks, but if it requires harvesting from hillsides by the light of a gibbous moon, I'd probably go for it. It's reached that point.

Maybe I should just spring for regular massages...

If it's the sort of thing basic cognitive therapy techniques would help with, too, I can recommend a book called Feeling Good, which in spite of the awful title really has been a life altering book for me.

If it could help me drag my mind out of the same old nonproductive worry cycles, I will give it a shot.

It definitely might. It has done that for me, anyway--when I'm stressed and uneasy I'll still sit down, years after my first reading, and use its techniques to get myself of my various mental hamster wheels my mind tends to get onto.
