🌿 Inside My Wellness Cabinet: The Herbs I Use and What They Do

There’s something about opening my little wellness cabinet at the end of a long day the calm, the warmth, the feeling that I’m taking care of myself from the inside out.

As a mom, student, working professional and a woman rebuilding her peace, these herbs have become a part of the lifestyle I’m creating for myself. They keep me grounded, balanced, and centered even when life gets loud.

Today, I wanted to give you a peek inside my wellness world and share the herbs I use the most and why they matter.

Chamomile — My Nighttime Calm

Chamomile is the herb that tucks me in at night.

It softens my mind, relaxes my muscles, and gets my body ready for rest.

When I’m overwhelmed or emotionally drained, chamomile is usually the first thing I reach for.

Lavender — Peace in a Cup

Lavender smells like softness, healing, and femininity.

It’s the herb I use when my mind is racing or when the day has drained me.

  Promotes deeper sleep

• Calms the nervous system

• Helps relieve headaches

A little goes a long way, it’s a powerhouse for peace.

Echinacea — My Immune Support Bestie

As a nursing student and a mom, I can’t afford to get sick.

Echinacea helps support my immune system naturally, especially during stressful or busy weeks.

I drink this especially during school seasons or whenever my body feels “off.”

Lemongrass — The Energy Booster

Lemongrass brings a bright, clean flavor that wakes up my whole spirit.

It’s perfect for mornings or afternoons when I need a natural lift without caffeine.

It’s refreshing, uplifting, and tastes like a reset.

Peppermint is my go-to for studying.

When I need to lock in for A&P or TEAS prep, this herb helps bring clarity and focus.

Peppermint + my skeleton study buddy = future nursing student mode.

Rosemary — For Memory + Mental Clarity

Rosemary isn’t just a kitchen herb it’s a brain herb.

I keep it in my cabinet for days when I need a little mental sharpening.

• Supports memory

• Improves mental clarity

Perfect for exam weeks or when my mind feels foggy.

How I Use These Herbs Together

Most nights, I mix chamomile + lavender + echinacea for a soothing nighttime blend.

Mornings or afternoons, I lean into peppermint + lemongrass for energy and focus.

And when my brain needs a reset, rosemary helps center me.

This is the beginning of what inspired LIM Tisana™️ a tea brand that’s all about loving yourself more, healing through simple rituals, and choosing wellness every day.

It’s a Lifestyle

Herbal wellness isn’t perfection it’s intention.

It’s choosing the softer path.

It’s choosing yourself.

It’s making one small cup of tea that shifts your whole mood.

And that’s the lifestyle I’m living… one sip at a time.

Love,

Leah
