The owners of Lose Leaf Tea Market in Ahwatukee Foothills say they often come across patients suffering from stress, but rarely do they know what’s causing it — or how many natural ways they can address the situation.
“It affects people in so many different ways,” said Kita Centella, co-owner of the shop which features herbs, teas and natural remedies for a variety of ailments. “Sometimes we have to work round about in order to help people identify it.”
Centella said many customers come in complaining of anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, a lack of energy or a low immune system. All are symptoms of stress, but all can be helped with some all-natural products.
Teas
One particular tea mix Centella recommends for people feeling wound up is Anxiety Relief, a tea with a blend of herbs that help naturally calm the body and mind.
Co-owner Nick Brown often refers people to a tea called Coffee Quitter.
“They may not get enough sleep, but they’re not getting enough sleep because they’re under too much stress during the day,” he said. “Because they’re not getting enough sleep they look for stimulants during the day like caffeine. The caffeine never gets out of their system so they can’t sleep, so they look for more stimulants when they wake up, like coffee. It’s a cycle.”
Coffee Quitter helps break that cycle by drastically reducing a person’s caffeine intake without causing a withdrawal.
Aroma therapy
Aromatherapy provides very quick relief from stress. Lose Leaf Tea Market has several mixtures that help people relax or focus to handle a stressful situation.
“It goes to a nerve that goes directly to the limbic function of the brain,” Centella said. “That part of the brain is responsible for your feelings and emotions. The essential oils in aromatherapy will affect how you’re feeling in seconds.”
For relaxation, Loose Leaf staff makes a formula called Chill Mist.
“We make this formula ourselves right on site,” Brown said. “Single essential oils include lavender, clary sage, geranium, sandalwood, frankincense and ylang ylang.”
The staff at Lose Leaf Tea Market are well versed in their products, but they’re always aware they’re no doctors. For serious medical concerns they recommend visiting a doctor, but for natural remedies to help calm life down a bit they’re happy to help.
