Spices : Tumeric

You can sprinkle it on curry’s, juices, and smoothies or create a warming tea with lemon and honey.
Mushrooms : Reishi

Reishi is best consumed fresh and added to recipes, but is most pleasant made into a tea or taken as a tincture.

Found in old growth forests, this was once used for rituals in shaman funerals by indigenous people. We now use this mushroom today as a powerful anti-inflammatory for the body. It also possesses strong anti-bacterial properties and can be used in teas, tinctures and supplements alike.
