The holidays can be a season of both feelings of connection and grief. We’ve created this special Shakti School heart opening elixir featuring skullcap, damiana and rose to get you through the waves of beauty, bliss, and pain.
🌹 Skullcap: Think soothing, stress relief, and relaxation - this nervine is an emotional balance supporter and restores 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 it:
~ 1/4 cup dried skullcap
~ ¼ 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 c honey
~ Brandy to cover
Add all ingredients to a 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 ❤️
