citrus steam
next time you bring citrus home from the store --> i had a medley of lemon 🍋, lime, cara cara 🍊 oranges, and pomelo-- give them a wash in hot water before storing away. notice the fragrance. the steam and the aroma filling your nostrils and your lungs. it's a little delight, but very delightful 🤗


lemongrass tea
you can buy dried lemongrass at apothecaries or make your own! buy some fresh stalks, remove the outer layers and give the stalks a wash. chop the lemongrass in half and de-layer the upper half. then cut the upper half pieces into smaller pieces (1 in). spread out on a baking sheet in a single layer and dry them out in your oven for 1-2 hours on the lowest temp. let them sit on the counter top for another hour- you want them to be dry. then place in a container! as for the bottom part of the stalk- place in a container and freeze- its so nice to have on hand. i don't dry the bottom/thick part of the stalk cuz it would take forever and i can think of many other use cases!

not only will lemongrass help thc move into your blood easily, its good for reducing anxiety, decreasing cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, and aids digestion
