Make a pledge this year to be kind to yourself. Life is harsh enough without taking time to show some gentle love to your body. Start with Soothe, a new recipe from organic ingredients found in our Tea Blenders Box. Made with fresh turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass, the aromatic mixture will engulf your senses in calm and free your mind to relax.
Our lifestyles are geared toward stress, and stress affects your entire body. It may be brought on by anxiety, a lack of sleep, or even the foods that we eat. A diet rich in red meat, alcohol, or other acidic foods, for example, can cause inflammation, which can cause pain, swelling, and a general feeling of unease. You may feel sluggish and tired. When you notice your body responding negatively, It’s important to stop and make a conscious decision for self-care. Step back and reset with the natural ingredients in Soothe.
Soothe is all about calming the body back down. It’s made from turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass, spices that are all scientifically known for their ability to reduce inflammation, reduce chronic pain and lessen nausea. They also work to restore and strengthen your body’s immune function. A natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, lemongrass also is known to be a natural diuretic gently helping rid the body of toxins and restoring a healthy balance to your system.
While you offer this gift for your body, allow your mind to enjoy the benefits as well. As your tea blend is steeping, turn on some soft music, slip into some fuzzy socks and close your eyes. Breathe deeply, allowing the aromatherapy from the steeping tea to work its magic. Smile. Affirm yourself with positive self-talk. Sit near a window to sip while you watch and notice what’s going on outside. Time to stop and appreciate the simplicity of a few moments of calm will restore balance and peace to your body, mind, and spirit.
