3 Herbs To Boost Your Energy Every Day

Finding ways to boost your energy naturally will improve your sense of wellbeing. If you find yourself reaching for the caffeine or sugary snacks to get you through the day, there are plenty of things you can do to reduce your need for unhealthy energy-lifters — from improving your quality of sleep to adjusting your diet for more nourishment.

All the same, even when you sleep eight solid hours a night and pay close attention to the food you put in your body, you can still experience slumps in energy. But instead of topping up your coffee cup, try reaching for your herb stores!

Herbal remedies have ancient roots as natural and health-optimising energy boosters. Here are three herbs you can try to support you every day.

1.     Ashwagandha

This herb is frequently used in the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda. It has a close relationship with mood and emotional wellbeing, as well as physical wellbeing and energy levels. It’s packed with antioxidants, iron and amino acids, which work together to rejuvenate the body and bring about a sense of calm.

Mix a teaspoon of powdered Ashwagandha into a cup of hot milk (if you don’t drink dairy, oat or coconut milks work well!) every night before you go to bed.

2. Maca

Maca is a mountain-growing plant native to Bolivia and Peru. The dark coloured roots are rich in naturally occurring iodine — as well as an incredible 55 phytochemicals that increase energy and improve the body’s absorption of nutrition. As well as boosting your energy, it can reduce anxiety and provide relief from low mood disorders.

Maca is used in lots of different ways — you can drink it, cook with it, and include it in your own herbal remedy mixes. Maca hot chocolate is always a winner! For a simple way to include this herb in your life, pick it up in powdered form and add 2-3 teaspoons to your usual favourite herbal tea.

3. Panax Ginseng

Panax Ginseng makes a deeply nourishing stimulant and is widely used across the world. It has been the subject of much research, with encouraging outcomes; and even the most reluctant herbal medicine believers admit that they can’t ignore the power of this special root. It’s known to improve mood and energy, and — just like Ashwagandha and Maca — alleviate anxiety.

Due to its popularity, incorporating Panax Ginseng into your daily routine is easy. You can buy the powdered root in capsules in almost any supermarket or health food store. Take one a day, on waking. You’ll be able to move through the rest of your day knowing that you’ve given your a great start and equipped yourself with the best chance of an energetic day.
