Chamomile is known for its calming properties that support relaxation and sleep quality. Ginger aids digestion, while cinnamon adds warmth and helps balance blood sugar before bedtime. Combined with Daily Elements microgreens, this tea contributes additional antioxidants and gentle minerals that support overall nighttime recovery.
