Analog Wellness: Slow Living with Teas & Essential Oils

With so much of life tied to screens, it’s no wonder that analog wellness, a movement towards slowing down, unplugging, and living intentionally, is trending in 2025. It’s about embracing rituals that bring you into the present moment, away from endless scrolling.

It is not a new concept, and merges with themes of having 'tech detoxes' or 'digital detoxes', which can be important tools to disconnect from work and the online barage of news and marketing, in order to reconnect with yourself, loved ones, friends, and nature, and reset the nervous system.

Herbal teas and essential oils are simple, grounding tools for practicing analog wellness every day.

What Is Analog Wellness?

• A reaction against digital overload and fast-paced living.
• Encourages mindful, screen-free activities like journaling, tea rituals, and meditation.
• Brings balance back into daily routines.

Herbal Teas for Screen-Free Rituals

• Peppermint Tea – A refreshing morning ritual alternative to scrolling newsfeeds.
• Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea – Known as the “Queen of Herbs,” ideal for midday clarity.
• Chamomile Tea – Perfect for an afternoon journaling session.
• Blue Lotus Whole Flowers – A reflective evening brew to encourage mindfulness.

Essential Oils for Analog Living

• White Sage Essential Oil – Traditionally used for cleansing, great for freshening a room.
• Lavender Essential Oil – Calming aroma to accompany evening rituals.
• Frankincense Essential Oil – Ideal for meditation or prayer.

Creating an Analog Wellness Routine

• Morning: Brew peppermint or tulsi tea, journal outdoors.
• Afternoon: Take a short screen-free tea break with chamomile.
• Evening: Diffuse lavender, sip blue lotus, read or meditate instead of scrolling.

Conclusion

Analog wellness isn’t about rejecting technology altogether, it’s about creating balance. We were not designed to always be accessable and in contact with others, and modern life seems to have eliminated those small moments of quiet space that we need to balance ourselves. Herbal teas and essential oils are the perfect partners for rituals that slow life down and bring you back to the present.
