The darker months often bring with them emotional fatigue. Reduced sunlight, disrupted routines, and post-holiday stress can weigh on the mind. Adaptogenic herbs—like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and holy basil—help the body adapt to stress, improving energy and emotional resilience.
Herbs like ashwagandha calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality, while rhodiola enhances stamina and mental clarity. Holy basil restores balance to the adrenal system and gently uplifts mood.
Incorporating adaptogens into your daily routine can help you ride out winter’s challenges with steadiness and grace.

½ tsp ashwagandha powder

1 cup milk (or nut milk)
1 tsp honey
