Rose & Cardamom Milk

Milk of any variety is considered an effective transporter of herbs into the tissues, and that is due to its fat content and its uniqueness in that it is a creamy, somewhat heavy liquid. Therefore, in Ayurveda, it is common to take herbs in the form of a milky beverage. Cow’s milk, almond milk, and coconut milk are sweet in taste, nourishing and have a cooling effect in the body.
Rose & cardamom are considered aphrodisiacs; they ignite love, passion and open up the heart. They are also very balancing for Pitta, they reduce heat and refresh the body and mind.
