Big news– I am now making custom Vivacitea herb and mushroom formulas available more widely! I’ve added a few telehealth slots each month so that people outside NYC can now access this service to have a custom infusion or topical blend made specifically for their needs.
In addition to prescription strength remedies for specific medical conditions, these consultations are perfect for getting a specialized morning latte or nightcap blend that is just right for you. The main difference from the herbal prescriptions I’ve been providing for patients for years now is that these formulas are tonic or nootropic formulas or ones designed to take either daily or seasonally rather than on an as-needed basis until medical symptoms resolve. For instance, the rise formulations are designed to balance a particular constitution for morning energy, focus and cognitive performance and brightening mood. The set formulas optimize stress recovery, sleep and soothing mood. As always these formulas come in loose-leaf tea blends, powders that can be made into a food or beverage (like a latte), or capsules and gummies. The topicals offered are formulated for face or follicle– these are custom formulas to help with skin and follicle health.
I’ve been very happy to see these nutrient-packed formulas work their magic. They are a simple way to harness power reinforcing your personal health goals– particularly the tea or latte blends allow for a moment out of your day to reinforce personal wellness or healing intentions. Plus, there is so much research coming out about medicinal mushrooms like Reishi and time-told herbal ingredients like the ‘ginsengs‘. I meticulously source my ingredients from ethical growers and distributors so you’re getting the highest quality while supporting small and local businesses.
The first step is to book a consultation selecting ‘Vivacitea Consult’ to develop an integrative medicine plan. Based on an in-depth health assessment and our conversation about your goals and life routines, I’ll develop a plan within a week. These plans map out unique ways to meet your physiological needs, balance your constitution, cultivate your relationships and connections, foster strength and freedom in your life, and ultimately bring all you can be to fruition. If a daily formula that you can make at home would be a helpful self-care ritual for you, I’ll develop a custom herb formula to meet your specific needs and proclivities. Your custom formula will be the form that works best for you– tea, latte powder or capsules– and shipped to your door and refills can be ordered without a new consult.
