Straight A Potion
Disclaimer; must be supplemented with good study and sleep! I remember the week of my leaving cert, I read somewhere that mushrooms help with memory. So, I ate mushrooms every day for breakfast before my exams! That may not have worked but I wish I knew Tom back then! I asked Tom to come up with a tonic, a pre-exam tonic to help me relax but also stimulate the mind.
This tastes so good, as a tonic or a smoothie. Itโs delicious and a fantastic start to any busy day full of meetings, lectures or exams! Donโt forget to check out Toms page @the.mental.herbalist for loads of home remedies and how to turn food into medicine!
