I was told that if you're picking your Jasmine for tea do it in the morning before it blooms
Wondering if I'm picking them at the right time. Some of these have been sitting out for a day or two that's why they're brown ish

Today I created a tonic that may or may not kill God or make someone sleep.
​
I had a lot of lavender and Valerian root tea bags and thought why not make a tonic, so I did that.
I mixed over 10 tea bags plus a handful of lavender, some dried Valerian root plus also over 10 tea bags of it, a handful of lemongrass, 2 handfuls of chamomile, and a small handful of blue pea flower. And also one lemon's worth of zest.
Brought to a boil with 3 bottles of water and then let simmer for 5-10 minutes before letting it cool to warm temp after adding honey, sugar, and lemon juice of that lemon I used for zest. Then bottled it.
I believe I have created a tisane capable of making anyone be sedated and I am both intrigued and terrified of what I have made.
And so I have posted this onto here, behold my work that could kill someone if someone chugged the whole bottle.
Anyway please don't do this if you wish to have the house smell of strong herbals and feel like you are drowsy.
I decided to have this posted as NSFW, because well this is abit risky and may be a way of literally killing someone. I am abit sorry for this, I hope you all have a nice day

Personal tea blend suggestions
I'm planning to create a tea blend for regular use. I am planning to use spearmint & raspberry leaf to support women's hormone health. I'd like to incorporate Linden for calm & anti-inflammatory.
Specifically I'd like to manage hormone dysregulation (pcos-like symptoms, not quite peri menopause), anxiety, stress, & inflammation (roseacea symptoms, acne). I'm also considering nettle, for my allergies.
Broadly I'd like things that can support overall sense of well being, without a high risk of negative side effects (e.g. st John's wort, Ashwaganda or something that you have to be cautious of toxicity with dosing).
Any other favorites for overall health, wellness, mental calm?
