While the connection between a full moon and sleep remains a mystery, there are several things you can do to improve your sleep during this time. By following these tips, you can hopefully get a good night’s rest, even during a full moon.
Pink Moon Milk
This recipe is designed to help lower your cortisol levels and relax you gently into sleep.
In a small pot, over low heat, warm the almond milk and tart cherry juice to just before scalding (boiling) temperature. This will take about 5 to 10 minutes depending upon your stove.
Turn off heat and remove from the burner if using an electric stove. Stir in honey and kava kava powder with the intention of a great night’s sleep. To make this frothy, use a whisk, a hand blender, or pour the contents into the blender and blend on high for a few seconds until you get the desired texture.
Pour into your favorite night time ritual mug.
Top with a sprinkling of crushed rose petals and drink warm, or allow it to cool before drinking.
✨Not a fan of warm, milky beverages? Try making mulled tart cherry juice, simmered gently with Sweet Dreams Tea, honey, cinnamon and orange slices instead.
