Grounding Elixir
This is my favorite nighttime grounding elixir. There are so many other beneficial things that could be added to this also but this recipe is a simple way to begin!
Grounding Elixir
Ingredients:
12oz of homemade cashew milk (any milk will work!)
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ashwagandha powder (or 1 dropperful of ashwaghanda tincture)
1/2 tsp honey or agave
Directions:
Heat the milk in a small pot on the stove. Mix in spices and honey. Serve with a cinnamon stick if you have one (it also doubles as a straw)! Relax and sip the day’s stress away.
*Ashwagandha is what I call nature’s Valium. It has a very calming effect on the body and has been shown to reduce anxiety and help with insomnia. If you haven’t heard of it, you need to add it to your medicine cabinet asap! Cardamom is one of my favorite spices. It has many health benefits and has antidepressant and anti anxiety effects. Cinnamon is uplifting and warming. It has many benefits including improving digestion and Qi circulation (according to Traditional Chinese Medicine).
