Natural medicine: Maca

maca

Maca is an amazing herb, especially coming up to flu season! It comes from Puru and isn’t well known about. It boosts your immune system, increases energy, helps with stress and insomnia, as well as boosts your libido in men and women. It increases sperm count and fertility (in men and women).
It is a good one to add to shakes or have it with juice or almond milk. I even add it to cake mix to have maca cupcakes!

Here’s a shake I enjoy
1-2 teaspoon Maca
I cup juice (whichever you prefer, apricot juice goes well)
1-2 teaspoons Tyrosine
1 teaspoon Echinacea root extract
1 cup fruit (if wanted, berries, pineapple and rockmelon go well)

This shake will be a good defence against the flu, totally builds up your immune system, tastes awesome and gives you energy!

1-2 teaspoons of maca in almond milk or juice is also a popular way to consume maca.

Maca is a nice tasting herb and quite addictive once you start having it 😊
