Curating the perfect vibe is one of my most guaranteed ways of getting a morning boost, and this combination of Mango, Hibiscus and Tulsi Ashwagandha always does the trick 🌱✨
Most pro-tokers are familiar with the benefits of consuming Mango with your spliffs - just like cannabis, terpenes exist in mangoes, specifically Myrcene, which gives them their unique smell, and leans into the terpenes found in your bud, working in tandem to heighten your sesh’s benefits. Consuming ripe or dried mango right before or during your sesh increases THC’s availability into the bloodstream, and a lot sooner, getting you much higher, much faster 🙌🏾
Adding anything floral to your blend is usually for taste and preference, but with the right selection comes benefits. Hibiscus is packed with antioxidants, and has been known to lower blood pressure, but, as a Gynecological Cancer survivor, it’s the aphrodisiac properties that have helped me repair my relationship with my femininity and sexuality, post chemo and early age hysterectomy. Hibiscus, via tea and tokes, is a calling card for me to return to self, thru recreation, rest and recovery 🌺✨
Tulsi Ashwagandha is a little harder to come by, but, if you’re resourceful like me, just rip open a bag of the tea and have at it 😂 Used in Indian medicinal practices for centuries, Ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogen, meaning, it’s helps your body adapt to and manage stress. It can boost brain function, lower blood sugar and cortisol levels, and help fight symptoms of anxiety and depression. Tulsi has its own benefits, including combating oral bacteria and germs, preventing respiratory illnesses, regulating blood sugar, and also aiding in mental repair, maintaining cortisol levels, aka, the stress hormone.
Once you gift your body all of that, the benefit of Tulsi A’s sweet zingy taste, (similar to that of citrus fruit), with the floral sweetness of Hibiscus, and a fruity clove-like smell and taste of Mango, is truly the icing on the cake 🎂🌱✨
This blend (coming soon 😉) is legit my absolute fave. Always the perfect start to any morning ☀️🌱✨
