Boost Your Daily Energy With These Herbs

Many of us use stimulants, such as coffee and various energy drinks, to give us a needed jolt of daily energy. However, there are other options to provide you with the energy you need to perform at your best throughout your day. Below are 6 of the best! We recommend that you try each of these and see how much of a difference you feel in your daily energy levels.

#1 Siberian Ginseng

This type of ginseng has long been very popular with many athletes. But you do not have to be running a marathon to enjoy its many benefits. WebMD finds that Siberian ginseng is effective in boosting our stamina both in exercise and while we are awake, cutting down on fatigue and also reducing stress to manageable levels.

Many users of natural supplements like to have Siberian ginseng in their tea, in pills or capsules. We caution you to make sure that you are taking natural supplements that contain pure Siberian ginseng, which our products do at Solstice Medicine Company. Remember that you should not take this herb if you have hypertension or rheumatoid arthritis.

#2 Ginkgo

Ginkgo has been found to support increases in energy at the cellular level. This works by increasing the production of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, in the body. ATP is believed to help to boost the metabolization of glucose in the body, and this can boost our mental function by making us feel more alert. If you are feeling mentally worn down during the day, you should definitely consider ginkgo.

#3 Green Tea

Green tea is a natural holder of caffeine and it is effective as a mild stimulant. Rather than grabbing for a soda in the middle of the day, we recommend that you brew a nice cup of green tea. This will provide you with an extra energy jolt at the end of your day and will also provide your body with other benefits. Green tea is believed to be an antioxidant, and it can help to support good health in the body.

#4 Astragalus

Astralagus supports the metabolism in your body and helps to fight fatigue. It can be bought as a tea or as a capsule, and is very safe to take. It also is used in combination with many other herbs, and can really help to give you more energy throughout your day.

#5 Stinging Nettle

Stinging nettle in your tea can provide you with more energy than you receive in one cup of coffee. But you will not suffer from the negative effects of that stimulant. This is not a surprise; after all, nettles are full of minerals, as well as vitamins. We recommend that you make an infusion with this herb by boiling one quart of water with an ounce of nettles (dried) and let it brew for 12 hours. Strain out the herbs and then chill.

#6 Ashwaganda

This herb has been used for many years in Asian medicine for reducing fear and also nervousness and overall exhaustion. It also is effective in increasing your stress resistance. This can help to increase your levels of energy, as many people get tired when they are under high stress.
