Herbs with Arielle the Herbalist
Hello there! Clinical Herbalist Arielle Hayat here with some insight on your herbal regimen.
Without adding too much noise from the symphony of online platforms, I do want to share some expert and effective tools for energy, immune, respiratory system, and over all well being.
Before herbs and supplements, one of the most powerful tools that all of us possess, is the power to change our attitude. While the movie of our life plays out, it is completely in our control to set the genre. Do we want a thriller, or do we want a romance genre? Maybe we want a fairytale? Whatever it is, a thriller or fairytale, we can’t write the ending in the middle of the story.
So while the plot of your life thickens, observe your attitude and see what may be improved for your enjoyment. You are not your circumstances. Observing any attitudes coming up that aren’t serving your wellbeing; witness them, and let them go to create the movie of your dreams.
If you are having trouble adjusting your attitude, or changing the genre of your life’s movie, work on present tools that allow you to feel empowered. What makes you feel like you are wearing a crown? For many of us that can be a self care ritual.
If you are working with a HigherDOSE sauna blanket at home, I absolutely love the ritual of inhaling Eucalyptus essential oil. Inhaling the EO has been studied and shows that it can inhibit viral and bacterial activity in upper and lower respiratory tract infections.
My Favorite immune boosting foods to have weekly:
- 1” of ginger root
- 1 crushed clove of garlic - let it sit for 15 mins before consuming in an oil or honey
- 1 lemon fruit
- 1 cup of Bone Broth or Seaweed Mushroom Broth
My Favorite immune boosting herbs to work with:
- Elderberry
- Barberry Root
- Echinacea
- Oregon Grape Root
Note: some are short term usage
My Favorite Respiratory Herbs:
- Mullein
- Elecampane
- Osha (endangered, please find a sustainable source)
- Anise Hyssop
- Marshmallow Root
- Hyssop
My Favorite short term herbs to fight infection:
- Thyme
- Rosemary
- Garden Sage
- Oregano
- Yarrow
- Elecampane
- Turmeric
To learn more on dosages, safety, and efficacy, I am available for health counseling on a sliding scale.
Wishing you all peace of mind, and joy.
What do the San Francisco Marathon, Tough Mudder, and infrared technology pioneer HigherDOSE all have in common? The brilliant entrepreneurial mindset of Katie Kaps. After graduating magna cum laude from Georgetown, Katie studied at The London School of Economics, and was a Consumer/Retail investment banker at Merrill Lynch before being recruited to be the marketing and business mind behind the San Francisco Marathon. Following the SF marathon, Katie joined Tough Mudder and helped grow the business from $10 million to $150 million in revenue by the time she left. There she did strategy, new business development, and managed the international expansion team, and was proud to be named international employee of the year in 2013. Katie and Lauren started HigherDOSE with humble roots in Alchemist Kitchen and quickly scaling the business through strategic hospitality partnerships, amassing a cult-like following of celebrities and athletes. In addition to pioneering a ‘space within a space’ model with existing brick and mortar locations like Equinox and 11 Howard (creating a minimum viable product for retail), Katie turned HigherDOSE into an 8-figure startup with only 4 employees, in addition to pivoting to being a product-focused company during the pandemic at lightning speed. HigherDOSE has now expanded their offerings into topicals and ingestibles and Katie and Lauren have starred in their very own “Bio-HackHers” YouTube series, cementing her foothold as a woman leading the wellness industry to a new frontier.
