Nourish to Restore: A 14-Day Post-Stroke Healing Guide

A Caribbean Heritage Approach to Healing through Food, Tea, and Family Reflection

A gentle, heritage-inspired healing guide blending Caribbean foods, teas, and rituals to support post-stroke recovery.

Created by Anastasha Elliott this 14-day plan helps patients and caregivers rediscover the rhythm of healing through nourishment, rest, and gratitude.

Nourish to Restore is more than a meal plan — it’s a healing companion rooted in Caribbean heritage, family wisdom, and love.

Created after my sister’s stroke and inspired by the memory of my mother and grandmother’s resilience, this guide offers 14 days of gentle meals, herbal teas, and emotional reflection to support the body, mind, and spirit through recovery.

Inside you’ll find:

14 days of Caribbean-inspired meal and tea plans — simple, nourishing recipes using local ingredients like cassava, breadfruit, papaya, and soursop.

Daily herbal and mocktail recipes — including Damiana Rosé Elixir, Hibiscus & Ginger Tea, and Soursop Rest Blend.

Family Reflection & Gratitude Journal — prompts to reconnect with heritage, gratitude, and emotional peace.

Caregiver Tools — weekly trackers, emotional support pages, and meal prep guides.

Printable Charts & Trackers — “Your Daily Healing Rhythm” and weekly reflection pages for patient and caregiver.

This guide was created to help patients, caregivers, and families rebuild with intention — one meal, one cup of tea, one breath at a time.

Healing is not a race — it’s a return to balance.
