Who says that alcohol is the only way to get a kick? I recently attended a 3 week wellness camp in Costa Rica called Passage, where I met a number of incredible practitioners, foodies and holistic specialists including celebrity chef, Ester Hillebrand. While on the rancho, Ester blessed us with a number of powerful tonics that kept us alert, stimulated and healthy. One of my favorites was a powerful cocktail that along with promoting digestion, immunity and alkalizing the blood–also produces a feeling of euphoria similar to alcohol or cocaine. Yep, you read that right. Watch the video to learn more!
