You can never have too many aphrodisiacs. And thes You can never have too many aphrodisiacs. And these passion-inducing foods might already be in your kitchen: 🥑

Maca is known to enhance fertility and energy and boost libido with its adaptogenic properties.

Saffron is worth more than its weight in gold and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a women’s fertility support and hormone balancer for hundreds of years.

Chocolate, the quintessential ancient Aztec aphrodisiac, contains compounds that boost mood and arousal (phenylethylamine, serotonin and anandamide). It’s rich in PEA - “the love chemical.”

Strawberries (along with figs, plums, apples, pears and berries) have long evoked images of Eve and the feminine body. On a physical level, berries are packed with antioxidants.

Honey reminds us of our vital, life-bringing sap-the sweetness of passion and pleasure. It’s condensed effort, much like our human baby-making substances.

Arugula, also known as “rocket,” gives salads a boost of fire. In Italy, it’s said to enhance passion due to its peppery flavor.

Truffles are prized for their musky, earthy aroma and reputation as stimulators. Some even claim they have a pheromone-like scent that drives pigs wild - make of that what you will.

Ginseng, the holy grail of Chinese medicine, is a powerful nervous-system tonic shown to help the body adapt to stress and build vitality.

Avocados are rich, oily and deeply lubricating—supporting supple skin, collagen preservation and overall nourishment.

Walnuts resemble the brain and nourish it, too. They’re rich in omega-3s, vitamin E and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Oysters, food of the lovers, are rich in B12, C and D, omega-3 fats, iron, selenium and copper-nutrients essential for sensual vitality.

Anything can be aphrodisiac if it builds Ojas - the subtle essence of youth, immunity, satisfaction and vitality. These foods help preserve that creative sap and that, Ayurveda says, is what makes us truly turned on. ✨

There’s a reason the feminine urge in February i There’s a reason the feminine urge in February is dark chocolate, warm baths, rose petals and absolutely no rushing.

Ayurveda teaches that women thrive on deep nourishment, rest, nervous system regulation… and yes—PLEASURE. When a woman is resourced and sensual, Ayurveda teaches that her whole ecosystem benefits (family, relationships, creativity, vitality).

That’s the theme we’re celebrating this month at The Shakti School: slow down, warm up, soften, receive. Pleasure, beauty and the things that build your OJAS - these things are foundational to our health. 

Need some inspo for how you can indulge this month and pour back into YOU? We’ve got you covered. 😉🌹🛁🍫

Ayurveda teaches that a woman’s pleasure isn’t Ayurveda teaches that a woman’s pleasure isn’t indulgent. It’s medicinal. When a woman is connected to her sensuality, her nervous system softens, her hormones regulate and her life force (ojas) nourishes not just her body, but her relationships, her family and the spaces she inhabits.⁠
⁠
Pleasure is how the feminine restores, regulates and returns to wholeness. When pleasure is suppressed, imbalance ripples outward.⁠

Heart-Opening Winter Elixir Recipe 👇🏼🌹❤ Heart-Opening Winter Elixir Recipe 👇🏼🌹❤️‍🔥🌿

The post-holidays can be a season of both connection and grief. In February, we’re calling in deep, soulful, love. And real love starts with a connection to your very own heart.

This absolutely goddess-worthy elixir features skullcap, damiana and rose to gently open the subtle heart center and get you through waves of beauty, bliss and everything in-between.

🌹Skullcap: Think soothing, stress relief and relaxation. This nervine is an emotional balance supporter and helps restore the functioning of the nervous system.

🌹Damiana: This aphrodisiac helper pairs well with skullcap for relaxation while also giving a little boost to mood and digestion.
 
🌹Rose: Associated with the heart chakra, rose is said to help heal a broken heart and enhance feelings of self-love and emotional balance.

Here’s how to make the elixir:

~ 1/4 cup dried skullcap
~ 1/4 cup dried damiana
~ 1/4 cup dried rose petal
~ A few cinnamon sticks
~ 1 T gently crushed cardamom pods
~ 1 T gently crushed star anise
~ 1 T gently crushed cloves
~ An orange peel
~ 1/2 cup honey
~ Brandy to cover 

Add all ingredients to a clean mason jar. Cover completely with brandy (push down everything in the jar so that it’s below the liquid). Place a piece of parchment paper between the lid and the jar to prevent any transfer from the lid or vice versa. Shake daily, storing in a cool place for about a month.

Enjoy in small servings as a healing tonic for your heart. ❤️🍯
