A calming guide to Thanksgiving stress relief with tea rituals, Bhramari breathwork, and simple nervous system tools from Tea and Turmeric in Laguna Beach.

Why This Episode Matters
Thanksgiving can feel like a celebration on the outside and a pressure cooker on the inside. Travel drama, crowded grocery stores, family tension, the pressure to recreate your famous dishes, and the expectation to act fine when your nervous system is anything but fine. The holidays do not just fill your calendar. They can take over your body and your breath.

In this episode of The Tea on Wellness, I share gentle, body based practices to help you stay grounded when holiday stress starts to climb. These are simple, real tools that work even when your schedule is full and your emotions are running high. From Bhramari breathwork to calming tea rituals, you will learn ways to reset your system without needing a long morning routine or an hour of meditation.

Tools for Thanksgiving Stress Relief
Stress shows up as tight shoulders, shallow breathing, irritability, overwhelm, or feeling scattered. Holidays amplify all of that. Your body reads noise, expectations, and emotional tension as signals to brace.

In this episode, I guide you through a calming tea ritual you can use anywhere, even in the car or on your patio, and share why humming breath (Bhramari) shifts your nervous system so quickly. These practices can become small anchors you return to throughout the long holiday weekend.

What You Will Learn

• why holidays hit your nervous system so hard and how to notice the signs
• how Bhramari, the humming bee breath, quickly grounds anxiety
• a calming tea ritual you can use anywhere and in just a few minutes
• practical ways to root yourself when emotions or family dynamics spike
• how to give yourself permission to pause, step away, and reset

Local Story
Last Thanksgiving, a Laguna Beach nurse named Lisa stepped onto her patio with a cup of Stress Less tea. She took five minutes to breathe before going back inside to her full house. She told me that short pause became her reset button for the whole weekend. One small ritual, repeated gently, helped her move through the holiday with a steadier mind and a softer body.

Takeaway
When the holiday noise builds, come back to your breath and your cup. A calming blend, a slow exhale, or a few moments of humming can shift your entire system. Take a sip. Take a breath. You can move through this season with more clarity and ease than you think.
