Coffee Jitters
Do you get a little shaky after drinking coffee?
Try adding some adaptogens to your morning Joe.
What is an Adaptogen?
Adaptogens are medicinals that modulate and balance the nervous system.
The balance is between your sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Sympathetic is the fight or flight mode. Parasympathetic is the rest and digest mode.
Adaptogens have been used, for thousands of years, all over the world. Their multifunctional healing abilities help balance, nourish and harmonize the body to boost and calm when you need it.
“I recommend and add adaptogen blends to coffee to decrease those fight or flight jitters.”
Added benefits include:
Nourishing the brain without the damaging effects of coffee
Increase cognitive performance
Prevents adrenal fallout
Balance hormones
Balance emotions
Increase overall happiness and longevity
Here are some of my favorite adaptogenic medicinal mushrooms: reishi, cordyceps, chaga, lions mane, shiitake and maitake. Some other favorites: ashwaganda, astragalus, gynostemma, licorice root, rhodiola and ginseng
Adaptogens synergistically work best when combined together. It's always best to use recommended, top quality, sources of medicinals and consult with your practitioner if you have any questions or concerns.
I carry individual mushroom adaptogens and adaptogenic blends in my clinic. Contact me for more info and I can help customize a blend just for you.
