While there are many attested benefits of moderate coffee consumption, it’s also well-known that caffeine, particularly when taken in excess, can aggravate anxiety, cause issues with sleep patterns, and worse.

The solution to all that is herbal coffee like our Coffee Fix, which is packed with adaptogens like ashwagandha along with other powerhouse ingredients such as holy basil, chicory, dandelion root, and shilajit.

Here are some of the benefits of an herbal coffee - along with some of the drawbacks of caffeine that it might help address.

1. No caffeine, no acidity

For one, our Coffee Fix herbal coffee is blended with chicory, rye, and barley and is naturally caffeine-free.

Chicory, specifically, is rich in flavor, making it excellent as a coffee alternative. It may also help control blood sugar while serving as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient.

2. Supports energy production

While our herbal coffee has no caffeine, it does have several ingredients that may help boost energy production while enhancing endurance as well. The two key players here are ashwagandha and holy basil.

Ashwagandha, specifically, has been demonstrated to boost energy levels, and it may have benefits associated with cognitive function and sleep quality as well.

As for holy basil, which has been used in Ayurveda for centuries, it has been shown to improve subjective metrics associated with stress response, and is beneficial to sleep quality.

3. Helps support a healthy stress response

Holy basil supports a healthy stress response and this blend also contains tribulus, which is believed to help support adrenal function as well. Ashwagandha is also a central ingredient in this capacity.

4. May repair adrenal function

While well-known for their central role in stress response, the adrenal glands produce hormones that also help regulate metabolism, blood pressure, immune function, and other vital systems.

Chronic stress is deleterious to the adrenal glands, but this blend is formulated to help repair the adrenal glands, with healing triphala, tribulus, holy basil, and ashwagandha.

5. Supports a healthy immune system

Rich in potassium and inulin, dandelion root is believed to support a healthy immune function while also serving as a probiotic, anti-atherosclerotic, antithrombotic, antibacterial, and antioxidant.

The dandelion root in this herbal coffee blend is also supported by ashwagandha, tribulus, and shilajit, which is a powerful immune stimulant, and which may even be a potent antiviral agent.

6. May be able to help you fight a caffeine addiction

We all know the dreaded coffee headache - which occurs when you develop a dependency on caffeine and don’t get enough of it.

Well, many who try our herbal coffee blend report that they transition away from coffee, weaning themselves on our Coffee Fix - without a headache or other symptoms of caffeine withdrawal.

7. Tastes great and is easy to use!

Last but not least, this herbal coffee boasts a rich, full-bodied flavor that is not acidic or bitter, at all.

Simply mix between one teaspoon and two tablespoons into water, tea, or milk, or mix with butter, ghee, or coconut oil and enjoy the robust flavor.

The Problem with the Real Deal

All of this begs the question - what’s wrong with coffee in the first place?

Well, while coffee has been revered for its myriad of health benefits, it, or more specifically, its caffeine content, is not without its drawbacks. These are some of them.

1. Coffee interferes with sleep

While Too much coffee not only impairs sleep onset but also interferes with sleep quality

Too much coffee not only impairs sleep onset but also interferes with sleep quality. And how much is too much? Well, it’s not quantity as much as when you have it - caffeine should not be consumed within 9 hours of going to sleep.

2. Caffeine raises blood pressure

While this might not be a concern for some, for anyone that deals with hypertension it can be a serious concern. One study showed that in those who consumed more than 3 cups of coffee per day, ambulatory blood pressure increased by 3-6mmHg.

3. Can exacerbate anxiety

Particularly in cases in which individuals consume caffeine in excess (400mg+ per day), the risk and effects of anxiety become much more pronounced.

4. The caffeine headache

Even if these other drawbacks associated with excess caffeine consumption could be written off, there’s no way around its addictive, dependency-forming qualities.

Worse yet, most people who quit coffee experience symptoms of withdrawal ranging from unease to anxiety to headaches.
