Powerful, nourishing, grounding roots.

Roots.

Roots help us stay grounded, connected, well-nourished, and happy. During the days after Hurricane Irene, it was clear that even the most enormous, seemingly healthy trees, will fall to their deaths when uprooted.

Without roots, we’re cut off from the source of life.

In our bodies, our intestines act our roots. Ancient healers told us that life and death begins in the colon. It’s still true. A well-nourished and well-cared-for digestive tract keeps us connected to the flow of vibrant, energized health.

Without healthy roots, we suffer.

A clogged, neglected digestive tract will encourage stagnancy and toxicity, blocking the flow of nourishment. Eventually, the toxic build-up will seep into the other parts of the body, disrupting body and mind.

Signs of clogged, dysfunctional digestion are numerous — ranging from brain-fog, fatigue, anxiety, depression, indigestion, bloating, and acne, to serious illnesses –  including cancer.

Bottom line, when your digestion is off, so are you.

It’s relatively easy to nourish and transform your digestion, once you know the crucial elements. Root vegetables, leafy greens, whole grains, and probiotic foods are a good place to start.  Additionally, there are a number of  helpful herbs, supplements, and superfoods to clear and cleanse digestive pathways.

Clean, strong digestion will provide you with the power to transform your life.

Tulsi Tea Break. Ahhhh.

Though it’s technically still summer, it sure feels like fall. Labor Day ushered in the winds of change. School has started. Schedules are filling up. Daily routines have tightened to meet the demands.

It’s easy to feel disrupted, ungrounded, and anxious during the first days of a new season. Especially the shift from summer to fall. Fall brings such a sense of duty and responsibility. Worry and anxiety are frequent companions.

Don’t despair.

Tulsi Tea is here to rescue you, strengthen you, and soothe your soul as you brave the season.

Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is considered a sacred herb in India and is dubbed the “Queen of Herbs.” It has been used throughout the ages by healers and spiritual leaders as a medicinal herb, purifying agent, and spiritual tool.

So, Tulsi will indeed enhance your yoga and meditation sessions. It will also help calm seasonal jitters, boost brain power, strengthen immunity, improve metabolism, increase energy and endurance, lower blood sugar and reduce stress.

Sharper Focus. Calmer Nerves. Better Metabolism. More Endurance. More Energy.

The golden keys to success. All this in one delicious tea bag. Organic India produces a high quality tea, in a variety of flavors. I love it. So do my clients. You can find it at most health food stores.

For me, Tulsi tea is the perfect funk-buster for easing back into the hustle & bustle of fall. I’m enjoying a cup as I write this post. Wow, did it help me focus!
