The holiday season is often a time of joy, but it can also bring its fair share of stress. From holiday shopping to hosting gatherings, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Thankfully, tea can be a simple yet effective tool for managing stress and promoting relaxation.
The Importance of Self-Care During the Holidays
The holidays are a time to focus on family, friends, and traditions—but it's also important to care for yourself. According to the American Psychological Association, stress can affect both physical and mental well-being during the holiday season. Taking time to pause and engage in calming activities can help maintain your health and happiness.
