Using adaptogens can be as simple as preparing a warm beverage! Another delightful way to incorporate adaptogens is by combining an herb like ashwagandha with warming, aromatic spices. This not only makes the taste more tolerable, but it’s also thought to synergize ashwagandha’s effects. In Ayurveda, ashwagandha is often taken with milk. It’s always nice to have a recipe that is aligned with traditional use.
Golden milk is a delightful treat for the senses, and adding an adaptogen to the mix supports whole body balance. Here’s our heavenly recipe! Read the full blog here.
