Your Herbal Ritual: How to Get the Most Out of Your Elix Formulas

Whether you're brand new to Elix or restocking your go-tos, we’re so glad you’re here—choosing to care for your body with personalized, clinically backed herbal support. To help you get the most from your formulas, here’s your simple guide to turning your daily doses into powerful healing rituals.

Start Right Away

Herbal healing works with your body over time, which is why consistency is key. The sooner you start, the sooner the herbs can support your body’s natural balance. Think of it like building strength at the gym—it’s all about commitment, not quick fixes.

Make It a Daily Ritual

Your formulas are designed to fit seamlessly into your life. Take them straight or with water, tea, or even add them to your smoothie or oatmeal. Most important: take them daily, and in a way that feels doable and grounding for you.

Taking More Than One Formula?

No problem. You can mix them together in the same drink, or take them at different times of day—whatever feels easiest to remember and integrate into your flow.

Your Formula Dosing Guide
