The Science Behind Sleep and the “Goddess of Night” Blend
Sleep is foundational to mental health, cognitive clarity and emotional regulation. Valhalla Tea’s Goddess of Night is carefully crafted with a blend of ingredients known to calm the nervous system, balance stress hormones and prepare the body for deep, natural sleep.
Key Ingredients and the Science Behind Them:
Valerian Root
Valerian increases GABA levels in the brain, a neurotransmitter that inhibits neural activity, helping you relax and fall asleep faster. Clinical studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and improving sleep quality without grogginess the next day.Chamomile
Known for its calming properties, chamomile contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to specific brain receptors to reduce anxiety and initiate sleep.Lemon Balm
This gentle herb supports emotional balance and has been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve sleep disturbances. It also helps calm digestive discomfort, which can contribute to better rest.Lavender
Studies show lavender reduces cortisol, the stress hormone, and enhances deep slow-wave sleep, leading to more restorative rest.
This blend creates a natural synergy, encouraging relaxation, easing racing thoughts and promoting sleep without pharmaceuticals.
Tea Drinking as a Mindful Ritual, The Psychology of Slowing Down
Mindfulness is one of the most effective ways to manage stress and support mental health. And the very act of making tea is a mindful practice in itself. It engages multiple senses, the sound of boiling water, the warmth of the cup, the calming aromas, and the slow, intentional act of sipping, all of which help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, your body’s rest and digest mode.
Drinking tea mindfully encourages you to pause, breathe and ground yourself in the present moment. This helps reduce emotional overwhelm, improve focus and even lower blood pressure. For people living with anxiety, ADHD or chronic stress, this type of daily practice becomes a form of active self-regulation.
Mental Health Support Beyond the Cup
What truly sets Valhalla Tea apart is their commitment to community healing. During our interview, the founders shared how their personal experiences with mental health inspired them to create a brand that gives back.
They donate a portion of every sale to veteran mental health and suicide prevention programs.
They’re working to break the stigma around mental health, especially among underserved and military communities.
They create teas that are designed not just for enjoyment, but for daily mental wellness support, from stress to sleep, digestion to focus.
This is wellness with intention. Every cup supports a cause and encourages healing.

Create Your Daily Ritual
Here’s how to build a wellness ritual around your tea:
Set aside five minutes to prepare your tea without distractions.
Notice the process — the smell of the herbs, the color as it steeps, the warmth of the cup.
Use this time to check in with yourself, take deep breaths and slow down your thoughts.
Sip slowly, focusing on the moment, not the to-do list.
When you pair high-quality herbal teas with mindfulness, your body learns how to return to a state of calm more easily, a practice that builds emotional resilience over time.
