Chamomile tea
This daisy-like flower is synonymous with calm, making it among the most well-known stress-soothing teas.
One 2016 study by PubMed Central found that long-term use of chamomile extracts significantly reduced moderate to severe symptoms of a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). However, it didn’t prevent future symptoms from occurring.
Along with the relaxing and sedative properties of chamomile, it can also be used to help with an upset stomach as well as ease pain and inflammation.

Green tea
Green tea can help soothe anxiety thanks to the presence of l-theanine, which can increase feelings of calm and relaxation. Green tea does contain caffeine, so you should enjoy it in moderation if you’re feeling stressed.
Green tea is also known to help improve focus, since the combined L-theanine and caffeine in the drink help with this.
