Publisher's Synopsis
Adaptogens are magical. They're the longevity herbs that everyone says don't exist. In fact, reishi mushroom, which is an adaptogen, was traditionally called the "mushroom of longevity" in China, where it has been used for millennia. Initially discovered and researched by the Soviets in the 1960s, adaptogens are characterized by their ability to normalize body functions, buffer the negative effects of stress, and produce no side effects of their own when taken over a long period of time. The term "adaptogen" is literal; these herbs help your body and mind adapt to new situations. So when you've just had a baby you need adaptogens. When you're going through a break-up, adaptogens can help. While all adaptogens work similarly to help keep you on an even keel, another great thing about them is that different adaptogens (there are only twelve classified as official adaptogens) have affinities for different body systems. The adaptogens in this elixir are specific to the female reproductive system, making them perfect for women of all ages, whether you're struggling with fertility issues, are a new mother, or are fanning the flames of menopause. This walnut milk adaptogen elixir was specifically formulated for postpartum care, to provide energy sans caffeine, regulate the hormones, nourish the womb space, and increase breastmilk flow. It contains ashwagandha, maca, and shatavari, which are all amazing female-centric adaptogenic herbs. They are all roots, making this combo both nutrient dense and grounding. Paired with superfoods high in omega-3s, calcium, folate, magnesium and iron like walnut, tahini, and chocolate, this elixir will give your mind a gentle lift while covertly nourishing every bit of your body. This creamy elixir is 100% medicinal, right down to the sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
