Any natural stimulants?

[Charlotte]

I've got an all day workshop today, 2 part yoga and I'm absolutely shattered. Anybody got any ideas to a natural stimulant? Avoiding caffeine. 

 

Thank you ? ♥️

This will fire you right up

Stimulants, natural or not, will lead you to a adrenal fatigue.

Take ashwagandha or another adaptogen, this is what you need.

Shilajit Not really a stimulant but far more powerful in a good way also agree with @Moreira Chaga Mushroom, Spirulina/Chlorella, Royal Jelly, Astragalus, He Shou Wu are some other amazing substances for natural overall energy levels.

Cheers guy's! I took Spirinula, worked a treat!

Yeah spirulina is indeed a superior food/substance.

I remember.. guarana powder is said to be more potent than coffee and long lasting with minimal crash.

I only used it a few times before training but I did notice a more natural stimulative feel than coffee.

Just make sure it's 100% raw powder I wouldn't ever drink an energy drink for guarana.

look into Kratom

a large batch of green tea (leafs not sackets) diluted in large bottle of water overnight in the fridge. Does not lose any nutrients comparing to boiled and gives a nice kick

Cacao and Matcha is also a very good combination

Why avoiding caffeine? It is THE stimulant

Problem with caffeine is that it with continual use exhausts and can damage adrenal glands/function. It needs a harmonizing chemical to balance out over stimulation.  Thus why people recommend cacao or matcha instead or medicinal mushrooms with coffee to counteract the crash and burnout effect. Others say guarana or green coffee extract in raw form is safer because roasting may effect or destroy the (harmonizing chemicals). Thus why Raw Cacao is highly recommended over Cocoa(which is heated and processed cacao).

Most welcome @Charlotte =3

Haritaki beats any stimulant.
