Bedtime Bay Leaf Tea?
I love cooking with fresh bay leaves and a tiny amount goes a long way. In the Summer, it is also helpful for disarming any gut bacteria that are predisposed to multiply in the hotter weather.

Yet it has another surprising use that puts it in the category of other highly fragrant herbs like lavender, basil and coriander, which is the presence of `linalool.` This is a biochemical compound (a terpene) that promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety and has traditionally been used to encourage sleep.

So it`s not just a digestive herb that dispels wind and bloating, it`s a calming ally too.

You`ll be Cooler - If You Cool Your Liver
If our livers have a lot of work processing certain foods such as sugar, coffee, alcohol, as well as everyday duties in processing environmental toxins, medications, etc. Then, in hot weather especially, the liver will become ` overheated, which can result in making us feel hotter overall and extra tired in hotter weather.

Giving your liver a hand to help it process more efficiently can make all the difference.

Milk Thistle and other herbs work quickly and to support the liver and cool the body down.
