We love cleansing our space here at Vayla Wellness.

Palo Santo is part of our ritual for refreshing the energy of our space and creating a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere before you arrive.

A little intention, a little smoke, and a whole lot of good energy. ☀️

We look forward to sharing this peaceful adventure with you.

Late summer is often a time when the body can feel heavy, damp, tired, sluggish, or congested. Then early fall begins to bring more dryness, wind, throat irritation, and respiratory sensitivity.

That’s why this tea feels perfect for the seasonal shift.

You can call this my late-summer / early-fall “medicine ball” inspired tea warming, bright, mineral rich, and soothing.

It is made with simple ingredients I love keeping in my kitchen: jujube dates, fresh ginger, lemon, date sugar, Himalayan salt, and local honey.

The flavor is gently sweet, bright from the lemon, and warming from the ginger.

Ingredients:

2+ jujube dates
1 tbsp fresh ginger
Juice of 1½ lemons
1 tbsp date sugar
1 tsp Himalayan salt
5 cups water
Local honey, added after cooling

How I make it:

Bring the water to a boil, then add the jujube dates, ginger, date sugar, and salt.

Let the infusion cook down gently. For a less bitter taste, add the lemon juice toward the end instead of boiling it the whole time.

Once the tea cools slightly, add honey. I like adding honey after it cools so the flavor stays soft and smooth.

Store the concentrated tea infusion in the fridge.

When ready to serve:

Add 4 oz tea infusion + 4 oz freshly boiled water.

In herbal medicine making, freshly boiled water is an important part of preparing and waking up the infusion.

Serve warm with local honey.

A cozy drink for cooler days, scratchy throats, or anytime the body is asking for warmth and comfort.

Gentle note:

If you are acid-reflux-prone, have high blood pressure, are watching sodium, or are making this for children, adjust the ginger, lemon, salt, and honey as needed.
