Hi Fara,
Without knowing more information about the person or the concern, it is hard to suggest more because there’s a myriad of herbs that could be supportive. But from the desired actions that you are describing (energetic, nutritious, nervous system support) the mix you have sounds very good.
Energy is a tough one, because it depends on why the person is needing more energy: E.G. are they getting enough sleep? If not then some sleep supportive nervines could end up helping them with energy. Are they depleted or nutrients? If so then focusing on nourishing food and herbs will be of support.
Are they recovering form a pathogen or illness? Building nourishing nervines (such as oat, skullcap, raspberry leaf etc.) and immune system support (echinacea) and non-stimulating adaptogens (e.g. astagalus, withania etc.) will be of support.
I hope this helps a little to get you looking into the causes and sustaining factors in this persons specific situation to help you create a herbal tea for them.
With warmth,
Benna
