    This time of year in the cold North when seasonal meloncholy starts to set in and its hard to get all the nutrients you need from your diet, my go-to mood boosting herbs are nettle (densely nutritious), ginseng (natural stimulant/cure-all), and cacao (boosts happy chems in the brain and relaxes muscles)

    Sure thing! Ginseng I take as a tea made from the straight herb (its grown commercial here in Wisconsin) or else as a ginseng tincture mixed with just about any drink. Nettle doesn’t taste very good so I usually blend it into a tea with other better tasting herbs and raw honey, but you could mix it into a morning smoothy as well. Cacao/cocoa I just make into a cup of hot cocoa by mixing about 1tbsp powder to 8-10oz of hot milk or water and sweeten to taste with honey 😊
