We’ve all had that groggy, fuzzy feeling stick with us as we go about our day. Of course there are times when we can trace the cause back to the previous night’s happy hour shenanigans. But when walking around in a fog has become your new normal, it may be time to reassess your lifestyle.
One of the easiest things you can do each day to begin to shake off that groggy feeling and hone your focus is to begin to supplement your diet with one (or more) of these natural supplements for focus and energy.
Hailing from Southeast Asia, kratom is making quite an impact on the natural supplement market. There are strains of kratom, which may give you the natural boost of energy you need as you work to rebalance your nutrition. Just remember that you should start out slow with kratom and avoid combining it with other herbal products. You can buy kratom online from sellers who source from reputable farmers and sell only pure kratom products.
Delta 8, as well as the other THC variants are beginning to make a name for themselves as natural ways to boost both focus and energy. Delta 8 is actually said to have a calming effect, but not necessarily a sleepy effect. This means that, even though you’re calm you can still have energy and focus. Delta 8 products are made from hemp, which broadens their legality across the US, although you should be aware of the laws in your state.
If you’re looking for energy and focus, sativa strains are what most people opt for. Smoking sativa-dominant cannabis flowers, or eating foods infused with sativa cannabis oil gets those terpenes to the places in your body so you can get the uplifting effects you need to get through your day. If you’re not sure which strains are predominantly sativa, check out your local smoke shop to get some expert opinions.
It is said that drinking lotus tea may give you the energy boost you need. With their use dating back to Ancient Egypt, the calming, and euphoric effects of drinking blue lotus tea have been known for millennia. Blue lotus also has nutritional value and is packed with vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. While more research is needed, blue lotus is legal to purchase in nearly all states.
With a host of potential health benefits, holy basil is an herb that compliments both mind and body wellness. Holy basil can be used topically, steeped into a tea, or packed and smoked to extract its healing and health benefits. The medicinal effects of holy basil are vast, but it is widely known for its calming effects which translate to reduced stress, reduced inflammation, and better mental focus.
