Struggling with restless nights or waking up feeling groggy? You don’t need to rely on sleeping pills — nature has an easy, delicious remedy that can help you drift off peacefully. Boiling a banana and drinking the warm, soothing liquid before bed is an old-fashioned sleep tonic that really works!
Why Boiled Banana Tea Helps You Sleep:
✅ Rich in Magnesium and Potassium
Bananas are packed with these minerals, which help relax muscles and nerves, preparing your body for restful sleep.
✅ Boosts Melatonin Production
Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to make serotonin and melatonin — the hormones that regulate sleep.
✅ Calms the Nervous System
Warm banana tea has a gentle, naturally sweet flavor that comforts your body and mind, reducing stress and helping you unwind.
How to Make Banana Sleep Tea:
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana (organic is best, since you’ll use the peel)
- 2 cups (500 ml) water
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the banana
Wash the banana well to remove any residue. Cut off both ends, but leave the peel on. Slice the banana in half (peel and all). - Boil the banana
In a small pot, add banana pieces and 2 cups of water. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. - Strain and serve
Remove from heat, strain the liquid into a mug, and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. - Drink before bed
Sip the warm banana tea 30 minutes before bedtime to relax your body and mind.
