In the celestial world of Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, embodies radiance, grace, and the nurturing power of nature. Inspired by her essence, Aphrodite’s Bloom Latte is a deep ruby red herbal latte designed to nourish your nervous system and support those on their migraine wellness journey.
This herbal latte is more than just a beautiful sip—it’s crafted with nervine and circulatory-supporting herbs, each chosen for their benefits. Let’s explore the ingredients and how they come together in this cosmic creation!
Each ingredient in Aphrodite’s Bloom Latte is selected with migraine-supporting benefits in mind, ensuring a blend that is both nourishing and delicious:
Dried Roses: Calming & Stress-Reducing. Roses can help soothe the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing cortisol levels.
Dried Hibiscus: Blood Pressure & Hydration Support. Fluctuations in blood pressure can trigger migraine attacks. Hibiscus can help promote blood pressure regulation and provide hydration support.
Dried Nettle: Rich in Magnesium & Anti-Inflammatory. Research suggests that maintaining optimal magnesium levels may play a role in migraine support. Nettle is naturally high in magnesium, supporting optimal levels in the body. It also can help promote a balanced inflammatory response, a factor in migraine management.
Dried Passion Flower: Deep Relaxation & Nervous System Balance. Passion flower is known to benefit GABA levels, which may help support the nervous system and stress response.
Beet Powder: Supports circulation and oxygen flow to the brain, which is essential for maintaining optimal blood flow and reducing vascular changes that may contribute to migraine attacks.
Hemp Milk: A magnesium-rich, creamy base that nourishes the nervous system. Magnesium plays a crucial role in migraine wellness, as studies suggest that individuals with migraine may have lower magnesium levels. Hemp milk provides an easily absorbable plant-based source of magnesium, supporting relaxation and nervous system function.
