Food Fusion Experience
Nature’s Relief had the honor of taking part in our second Food Fusion Experience hosted by Bellezar Umhlanga.
This was a plant-based evening hosted by Nixon James in collaboration with Bellezar, Khula botanicals, Nature’s Relief and Recon Health.
The intention for the evening was to showcase how delicious and enjoyable gut friendly foods can be incorporated into our lives so that we can live a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Nixon James created the beautiful Thai inspired meals while drinks were made by Khula botanicals and infused with Nature’s Relief products. Our MC for the evening was Duke Makina and Matt Jones was our co-host for the evening.
Health doesn’t have to be boring though, we were able to infuse some of our drops into the food and drinks which ensured that everybody had a relaxing, healthy and fun evening.
Nature’s Relief Infusion Drops
Khula Botanicals made some incredible drinks for the evening that we were able to infuse with some of our drops. We chose our Sceletium drops and Cordyceps Mushroom tincture drops to infuse drinks. Our guests were also able to choose if they would like extra Hemp or Canna infusion drops in their drinks or even on their food.
Your gut is like your second brain and food is a big part of how health and wellness work. Food can be used as medicine. If you put the right thing into your body, your body can heal itself.
