Notes

You may want to start slow adding just one or two at a time and building to using all the herbs at once. Pay attention to how you feel afterwards and if there are any changes to your “normal”. 
If cacao affects you adversely with the natural caffeine content, then using carob or a caffeine free chai tea or holy basil tea work well with these herbs too.
