Ashwaganda - a little hard to pronounce but super easy to take!  Ashwaganda is a popular adaptogens which are classified as natural herbs (and even some mushrooms) that can help the body deal with stress and anxiety naturally. They have the unique ability to "adapt" to your body's different needs. They can help bring balance in reaction to fatigue, anxiety, and other stressors. Ashwaganda can help relieve stress by reducing your body's cortisol (a stress hormone) levels.

Use Ashwaganda as a daily supplement - just a dropper in juice or water daily - or make a relaxing "Moon Milk" to help you fall asleep.See our basic recipe for it below.
