Part 3- Adaptogen Blend + Beauty
We continue with Part 3 today. Do you want your skin to glow? Do you get acne during your menstrual cycle? Do you have hormonal fluctuations (both men and woman here)?
I recently discovered Tocotrienols (Tocos) and it’s one of my favorites! Toco’s are high in vitamin E, and are exceptionally good for hydrating and nourishing the skin and connective tissue. Next on the list is He Shou Wu which is a favorite for longevity, beauty and rejuvenation. He Shou Wu may tonify and nourish the hair, skin, nails, nervous system, Yin (feminine energy), and Shen (Spirit). Ashwaganda is just one adaptogen to keep in your home at all times. It is great for hormone balance, thyroid support, normalizing sleep cycles, and harmonizing your mood.
Here is a recipe to help you glow from the inside out!
*Remember to review Part 1 to get more blending ideas for your recipes.
