A Warm Drink That May Ease Your Anxiety Without You Even Realizing It

In the face of daily life pressures, many people seek natural alternatives to medication to relieve stress. Here are some of the best scientifically supported drinks that help calm stress and anxiety.

In an interview with Moscow 24, Russian nutritionist Yevgeny Arazmastsev stated that one of the most effective beverages for managing daily stress is cocoa with milk. He explained that cocoa is rich in magnesium, which helps regulate the nervous system, relieves muscle spasms caused by stress, and stimulates the production of GABA—a calming neurotransmitter. Cocoa also contains calcium, which supports smooth nerve signal transmission. It is recommended to consume cocoa two to three times a week, at a quantity of 200 ml per serving.

He also pointed out that chamomile tea and peppermint tea with lemon are natural options that help reduce stress. These herbs contain essential oils with soothing properties.

However, the doctor warned that some people may be sensitive to certain medicinal herbs or suffer from digestive issues, so caution is advised when choosing natural remedies.

According to other health experts, ginger tea is another effective drink for reducing stress and anxiety. Simply slice fresh ginger, steep it in hot water, strain it, then add honey and lemon juice. The result is a natural, health-boosting drink with calming effects.
