3 DIY Ashwagandha Face Treats
Ashwagandha: A Powerful Mind~body Healer
“Be the person who doesn’t stop believing, trying, learning, and be grateful.”
This is the conversation that I have with myself, especially when my conscious is feeling the effects of anxiety, exhaustion, depression or poor muscle tone, because that’s when I know that I need mind-body healing.
Indian ginseng, ashwagandha is an organic Ayurvedic medicinal herb that’s packed with adaptogenic fatigue busters and mood-lifters. Horsepowers that pampers and nourishes the body, even reaching through the skin barrier to perform.
Simply put, ashwagandha has a relaxing and revitalizing mind~body effect.
For me, ashwagandha is not considered tasty, so I prefer to gain its benefits topically. These recipes combine everyday ingredients with ashwagandha. And for an unforgettable experience, try our The Ayurvedic Bath . An organic and powerfully rejuvenating bath soak.
