This is my favorite tea to drink. I drink this multiple times a day, especially when I\u2019m writing, and it\u2019s adaptogenic golden mylk. <\/p>\n

So, what are adaptogens? Adaptogens are a type of herb that adapt to whatever your nervous system needs. So, let\u2019s say you wake up, first thing in the morning, and you\u2019re really tired, and you take an adaptogen.\u00a0 That will actually bring up your energy, so, it\u2019s a really good replacement for coffee, matcha, any other kind of stimulant, and there is no caffeine.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s say, you take that same adaptogen, at night. It will actually help cool you down, chill you out, and prepare you for sleep. So, they really adapt to whatever the nervous system needs at that time. Either, more energy, or bringing it down. So, it\u2019s really good if you have a stressful job, adrenal fatigue, or anything like that. So, the adaptogen that I am using today is called, Ashwaghanda, and Ashwaghanda literally means, strength of a stallion. It\u2019s a very commonly used adaptogen in Ayurveda, and formally was used more for men, to give them strength, but now a lot of women, we need that extra strength, too. So, Ashwaghanda is good for everyone, and the feminine version of it is called, Shatavari. And you can make this recipe with Shatavari, as well.<\/p>\n

So, golden mylk, a lot of people call this yogi tea, is a turmeric-based potion. The reason why turmeric is the base, is because turmeric is really anti-inflammatory. So, we spoke about how it\u2019s really anti-inflammatory for the brain, and that helps it work as an anti-depressant. Clinical research has now found it as effective as Prozac, but it also works in the body. So, if you\u2019re doing a lot of yoga, you\u2019re doing a lot of exercise, physical activity, inflammation can be created over-time.\u00a0 So, the turmeric is going to help just alleviate that so you feel much more agile, much more comfortable in your body.\u00a0 So, it\u2019s really good for everyone. Turmeric also helps burn belly fat, which is another really cool thing about it. It\u2019s been found that it specifically works on fat in the mid-section, again, because it\u2019s stress-related, cortisol-related.\u00a0 So, turmeric really helps with that. So, I love turmeric for so many reasons, which is why it\u2019s the base of golden mylk.<\/p>\n
