Herbal Tea Blend Recipe For Meditation
We know that meditation is good for our minds, our hearts, and our bodies, but for some of us, sitting still for more than five minutes is a real challenge, which puts a damper on the whole meditative process. That’s when we turn to our favorite supportive herbs that can help us slow down, take a breath, and stop the circular thinking that distracts us. Our Meditation Tea Blend Recipe checks all the right boxes to get us in the right headspace with a layered balance of nutritious base herbs, supporting nervine herbs, and delicious accent herbs. Take a minute, have a cup of tea, and give your body the gift of sitting still.
Digestion-Supporting Cordial Recipe for the Holidays
Although many people think of cordials—also known as liqueurs—as cocktail ingredients, they can also be potent and delicious digestifs. DIY cordials can be simple with just two or three ingredients or you can make them more complex by blending bitter and aromatic botanicals to delight your nose and palate. Either way, they are one of the easiest herbal recipes you can make: put herbs in a jar, add neutral spirits, shake it now and again, and wait. That’s it. And when you make a cordial with digestion-supporting herbs and spices, you turn this delicious little liqueur into a highly effective digestif. Best of all, we’ve got just enough time to make a cordial for the winter holidays! To get you started, here’s a festive midwinter cordial recipe that is the perfect finish to a hearty cold-weather meal when you’re relaxing in the company of your favorite people.
Herbal Tea Blend Recipe For Meditation
I am not known for my ability to sit still. I am always moving, shaking, and thinking of all of the things that need to get done. This is the main reason that meditation has always been a bit of a struggle for me. I really enjoy it and see its vast benefits, but this act of slowing down does not come easily to me. So, I was delighted to discover that I could reach for some trusted herbal allies to help me slow down, break the cycle of an overactive mind, and sit still for longer than five minutes.
Not only does the act of brewing and sipping tea help to start the process of slowing down, but the herbs themselves begin to prepare my mind and body for the upcoming practice. The blend I am going to share here is made up of six ingredients that all play a special role in helping to quiet the mind, release tension in the body, and please the tastebuds at the same time.
Mulled Cider Recipe With Warming Spices
Mulled wines and ciders have been around since ancient times. Mulling is simply infusing spices, usually through heat, into wine, beer, or cider. In ancient Greece, mulling herbs in wine was a potent medicine-making method, but today mulled ciders and wines are primarily festive drinks that are often imbibed during the winter holidays. We say it’s time to combine old-school wellness-supporting herbs with new-school festive mulled ciders!
This comforting, delicious, healthful mulled cider recipe includes traditional warming spices such as cinnamon, allspice, and cloves with the botanical boost of immune-supporting elderberries and astragalus. Salud!
