Insta trend or insomnia fighter?
We all faced the sleep problems at least once in a life but some of us suffer from insomnia all the time. In our childhood mum used to give us a cup of warm milk and somehow it help.
Now it’s time to try something new and more glamorous.
A trendy new insomnia-fighter for adults is something called moon milk, a dreamy term for what’s basically regular milk served warm, with natural flavorings such as honey or fruit added. Moon milk is popping up all over social media, often in colorful hues that make it super Instagram-friendly.
The most important ingredient in moon milk is ashwagandha.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen (aka a plant that is used in Ayurvedic healing) also known as Indian ginseng. It has wide-ranging health benefits and has a grounding and relaxing effect on the mind and body. It’s used to treat stress, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and nervous system disorders she added. You can buy it in powder form at your local health food store or on Amazon.
