Spring
Hi. Spring is almost here. I am happy to be sharing some recipes to make your life a little easier and cleaner. Spring is about new, fresh, energy, power, worth, inspiration. I will be sharing many recipies and ideas. We will start with boosting drinks and then move into meals. This way its a sustaining change and not a drop of mass amounts of info.
When we tune into the essence of spring you will feel the energy soaring through the ground as an electric current. If consumed by you through breath, movement, and intention you will feel the healing benefits. We will talk more on this topic in the coming weeks. For now I want to share this yummy high vitamin C drink that baby, will get you feeling amazing, rejuvenated, and healthy.
Vitamin C is super important for those who have a menses. It is vital to keep our detoxing pathways open and to keep the PH of the vagina in check. Intaking natural vitamin C will balance a lot of the fog that tends to happen before a bleed. It will help the liver break down estrogen (needed so you have no acne).
What you will need:
1c Grapefruit Juice (fresh or Evolve is a good brand)
1/2c Tonic water or bubbly water (ginger kombucha would be nice)
1T Mangosteen - Hibiscus Powder (AnimaMundi)
2 dropper full Schizandra
1t Tremella
3T Tocos - optional
Ice and a shaker or glass bottle with lid
add all ingredients minus the tonic water/bubbles to a shaker and shake. Pour to a glass and add your bubbles.
Why it works:
We are in the season when we need some bitterness in our lives to get the liver flowing and moving. Grapefruit, schizandra, hibiscus will help. The immune system and the liver will enjoy the high levels of Vit C mangosteen and grapefruit have to offer. This is important for detoxification and to help with kidney problems (this even means being drained from surviving winter). Schizandra is amazing for the tissues, for memory, helps regulate that 5 elements, gives mental clarity, gives the mind energy while calming the system. Great alternative to caffeine. Tremella is a moister bonding fungus allowing the body to reduce redness, helps with decongestion (spring stuffy noses) helps with asthma. Tocos, my favorite way to consume vitamin E. This drink can go without the tocos but I add it as a good source to reduce oxidative stress from seeds and nuts. Also great for the health of connective tissues.
