Welcome to Peace Love Hormones, AKA The Modern Woman's Apothecary!
Your brain works hard for you every single day—so why not nourish it with something equally powerful? Enter Herbal Brain Balls , the ultimate no-bake snack designed to fuel your mind and body with adaptogenic herbs, brain-boosting nutrients, and natural energy.
With rates of cognitive decline, brain fog, and neurodegenerative diseases on the rise, taking care of our brain health has never been more important. Chronic stress, metabolic issues, nutrient deficiencies, poor circulation, and inflammation all play a role in declining cognitive function. The good news? Herbs and whole foods can be powerful allies in supporting focus, memory, and long-term brain health.
These little bites are loaded with eleuthero for stress resilience, reishi for nervous system support, ginkgo for circulation and memory, and ashwagandha for calm, focused energy. Combined with creamy sunflower seed butter, fiber-rich oats, gooey medjool dates, and a touch of raw honey, they’re as delicious as they are functional.
