When the heat is high and stress is creeping in, sometimes the answer isn’t in a supplement — it’s in your spice rack or herb garden.

Summer herbs do more than season your food. They cool inflammation, aid digestion, support hydration, and regulate mood — all essential for staying sharp when temps (and tempers) rise.

Here are my top Nutrilicious picks for cooling, healing herbs you can sip, sprinkle, or stir while at work to keep you mind and your body fresh:

🌱 Mint – Cools the body, soothes digestion, and relieves headaches. Add to water, smoothies, or fresh fruit. Lightly crush or cut in chiffonade to release the aromatics.

🌿 Cilantro – Detoxifying, hydrating, and rich in antioxidants. Great in salsas, salads, or blended into dressings. Add at the end of you recipes to ensure maximum flavor.

🌸 Hibiscus – A floral powerhouse with blood-pressure balancing and liver-supporting properties. Brew into a bright pink iced tea. Try it without sweetener.

🍃 Basil – Anti-inflammatory and uplifting. Use fresh in pesto, wraps, or infused oils for a dose of calm. You can also add this to fruit or water for a delightful taste.

🪴 Dill – Calms bloating and supports digestion. Try in cooling yogurt dips or tossed with cucumbers. Also add to salads for yet another delightful taste.

✨ Pro tip: Combine any of these with lemon, cucumber, and sea salt for a hydrating summer infusion that supports both mind and metabolism.

And what does this have to do with business? A hydrated person's brain works better, and the better you feel, the better you do in your personal life and in business.

These aren’t just herbs — they’re cooling companions for your nervous system, your gut, and your focus. And the calmer your nervous system, the better able you are to deal with stressors in the workplace, and the better coworker you become!

Heal with flavor. Lead with clarity. Stay cool — naturally. Mother Nature offers us endless possibilities.
