I make this every summer so it’s ready by the time cold season hits and everyone around me is getting sick. Garlic and honey have been used as medicine for thousands of years across so many cultures (ancient Egypt, Greece, China, Ayurvedic tradition, and more). 🤍 Soothes a sore throat 🤍 Garlic releases allicin - nature’s antimicrobial 🤍 Honey is unreal for calming coughs 🤍 Supports your gut + immune system 🤍 Antioxidant-rich 🤍 Helps break down bacterial biofilms 🤍 Lasts basically forever in your pantry How to make it: Fill a clean, COMPLETELY dry glass jar halfway with peeled organic garlic cloves Pour raw, unfiltered honey over the top until the garlic is fully covered (leave room at the top - it bubbles!) Seal it, and burp + flip the jar every single day Keep it at room temp, out of direct sunlight Ready in about 3-4 weeks - and it only gets better with time A few IMPORTANT things: ⚠️ Use raw, unfiltered honey only - the processed stuff won’t ferment ⚠️ Keep the garlic fully submerged in honey at all times (never let it poke up into the air) ⚠️ Burp it daily so pressure doesn’t build up ⚠️ Your garlic might turn blue/green - totally normal and harmless! ⚠️ For extra peace of mind, add a splash of raw apple cider vinegar and/or test with a pH strip (you want below 4.6) ⚠️ NEVER give honey - fermented or not - to a child under 1 year old Not medical advice - I’m a health coach, not a doctor. If you’re pregnant, immunocompromised, or on medication, check with your provider first 🤍 Save this for summer and let’s get fermenting!

The 5-ingredient shot to fight inflammation Why each one earns its spot: 
• Ginger — a traditional anti-inflammatory + easy on digestion
• Turmeric — the classic anti-inflammatory root
• Black pepper — the non-negotiable: it helps your body actually absorb the turmeric
• Cayenne — a little warmth to get things moving
• Lemon — bright, plus a hit of vitamin C Everything I used is linked — my blender, the fresh ginger + turmeric (grab them fresh at the store), and the copper water dispenser on my counter in the background: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/7023712

I know exactly what it’s like to lie there at night with your brain going a hundred miles an hour … That was me for a long stretch and it was awful .. exhausted all day, then completely wide awake the second I got into bed. What helped was giving myself a wind-down. Lights low, phone away, warm drink with my Gaia Herbs® Milky Oats and Skullcap stirred in, which is a blend of herbs traditionally used to promote a sense of calm. I’ve been doing it every night for about 6 weeks now and it’s become the thing my whole evening builds toward. My body knows what’s coming. I’m not fighting myself at 11pm anymore, and I get into bed feeling relaxed and settled. Comment HERB and I’ll send you my code for 15% off! @gaiaherbs #GaiaHerbsPartner
