If you are looking to boost creative power and cultivate more clarity in 2020, the classical Ayurvedic formula, Saraswati churna, may become your new herbal ally! 

Aptly named after the Hindu goddess of art, music, and wisdom, Saraswati churna combines tonifying and clarifying nervines, as well as warming digestives. The goddess Saraswati is especially revered by artists and anyone on the creative path: “Creativity is her siddhi (special power) and for this reason, she is worshipped by every Indian artist” (Dass, 2015). Saraswati churna, a time-tested herbal blend designed to support clear expression and a calm, focused mind, is an apt choice for students, artists, or anyone looking to rejuvenate their mind, free their voice, and boost creative power.
