Promotes Relaxation &amp; Better Sleep<\/h3>\n<p>Warm drinks naturally relax the body. Mint, if added, has calming properties that can help reduce stress and prepare your body for restful sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a04. Gentle Detox Effect<\/h3>\n<p>This drink supports hydration and may assist the body\u2019s natural detoxification processes overnight, especially through improved digestion and liver support.<\/p>\n<h3>5.
