Everyone’s biochemistry is different, that’s why we had the opioid epidemic and not an opioid pandemic…
It might work on others, but not you. And for a decent amount of people it works for, a significant amount are having the placebo effect.
So just go into it with an open mind thinking it may relax you, and it might. Even though I’ve just told you it could be placebo, that doesn’t hurt it’s chances. (Crazy side note: the opposite of a placebo is a nocebo, something that gives a negative effect. Being aware of that does prevent it).
If you do it for a while, simply the act of putting a kettle on would have you relaxed before you’ve taken a drink. It doesn’t matter why it works, just that it does.
