A Smoothie for Harmonizing, Revitalizing, Lightly Detoxifying the body in a colder season.
We know that Solar Plexus has strong connection with yellowish colored food. Leafy greens and leaves has a positive impact to the whole chakra system. I used yellow fruits and liquids, combined with leafy greens.

“Ganoderma Lucidum proponents claim that it bears the characteristics of a preventative adaptogen which serves to improve general health and body functions with no side-effects. Ginseng is currently more widely-used as an adaptogen in Western medicine than Ganoderma, but both are categorized in traditional Chinese medicine texts as supplements with the greatest potential for medical efficacy.” (Japan Reishi Association)
