Going on pasta tonight and topping a soup tomorrow: HOLY BASIL PESTO. Holy Basil (Aka Tulsi) is an adaptogenic herb that can reduce cortisol levels and help with anxiety and hormone imbalance, among other things. It is widely regarded as one of the most useful broad-spectrum anti-stress adaptogenic herbs. It does beautifully in culinary uses - which is why you see it in so many teas. Made a fresh basil / lemon / garlic / pine nut pesto and simply added 3 tsp dried holy basil to it while in the food processor to level it up. 🌱🌱

Releasing tension from the upper back and neck with 〰CUPPING〰. Cupping is one of the best deep-tissue therapies available. It’s a deeply relieving modality for tight muscles, emotional & physical blockages; sedating the nervous system, opening the lungs, transforming phlegm in the chest, chronic muscular pain & inflammation, and to simply to get the Qi and blood flow moving in your body. I practice glass fire cupping with gliding or fixed placement, depending on what your body needs - and I absolutely love it. The negative pressure that cupping provides can pull out lingering toxins from the muscles and tissue up to 4 inches below the skin level - leaving you feeling so relaxed and loose. Take your bodywork to the next level. ❤️
