A practical and delicious field guide to cooking and healing with
adaptogens from wellness expert and former chef Amanda Chantal Bacon,
founder of Moon Juice and author of The Moon Juice Cookbook
In The Moon Juice Manual, Amanda Chantal Bacon lays out the blueprint
for the next level of mind-body health. This is the quintessential guide
to adaptogens, the stress-busting super-herbs and -mushrooms that Bacon
introduced to the wellness world with her cult-followed Moon Dust
collection. As the name suggests, adaptogens are plants that can help us
adapt to and protect ourselves from the daily stress of modern life.
From cordyceps (a mushroom to elevate energy and libido) to ashwagandha
(a shrub to tame anxiety and reduce inflammation), adaptogens are a
powerful, edible antidote to today's stressed-out, high-speed world.
A plant-fueled survival guide to modern life, The Moon Juice Manual
explains the way chronic stress impacts the mind and body and provides
simple and delicious ways to incorporate adaptogens into daily life. The
book offers prescriptive recommendations and functional recipes for
optimizing beauty, brain, spirit, sex, sleep, or mood. Readers will
understand how to make grain-free and practical recipes with adaptogens
along with easy, decadent treats like Horny Goat Weed Brownies and
Schisandra Sleeping Beauty Balls. The Moon Juice Manual makes cooking
and healing with adaptogens fun, approachable, and truly transformative.
