Adrenal Support Tonic

Name: Adrenal Support Tonic
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 1 cup warm water or warm milk (dairy or plant-based); 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder; 1/2 teaspoon maca powder; 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger; 1 teaspoon raw honey; Pinch of sea salt; Pinch of black pepper

A warm, calming tonic built on adaptogenic-adjacent ingredients — things that have been used in traditional herbalism to support the body during periods of stress and fatigue.

Ingredients

1 cup warm water or warm milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder

1/2 teaspoon maca powder

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon raw honey

Pinch of sea salt

Pinch of black pepper

Method

Warm the water or milk gently (not boiling — especially if adding honey later).

Add the ashwagandha, maca, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. A milk frother works well.

Let cool slightly, then stir in the honey.

Drink warm, ideally in the morning or early afternoon (some people find ashwagandha energizing).

Notes

Ashwagandha and maca are roots with long histories in Ayurvedic and Peruvian traditional medicine, respectively.

This is not a medical treatment for adrenal dysfunction. It's a nourishing tonic with traditional use for general wellness support.

Start with smaller amounts of ashwagandha (1/2 teaspoon) if you haven't used it before.

Consult a healthcare professional if you take thyroid medications, as ashwagandha may interact.
