Herb Benefits
Hawthorn Berries, Leaves and Flowers (Crataegus oxyacanthoides)
When in bloom, red hawthorn berries hang from its shrub in bunches that resemble a heart. Many herbs have visual similarities to the organ they support, and this is true of Hawthorn. It has a substantial number of flavonoids that protect the cardiovascular system and used for milder heart conditions. It is an antioxidant that can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Hawthorne has a mildly sedative effect that helps one relax and recover.
Elder Leaves and Blossoms (Sambucus nigra)
Elder leaves and flowers are mildly relaxing and help with agitation and restlessness. They soothe the upper respiratory tract by breaking up congestion, making it easier to breathe deeply.
Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale)
Ginger is a circulatory stimulant used to reduce pain and muscle tension and anti-inflammatory. It is also antiemetic, so it helps to keep food down.
Lemon Peel (Citrus × limon)
Lemon increases energy because it is nutrient-rich and packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and copper. Its fruit, juice, peel, and essential oil are antibacterial, antioxidant, antihistamine, and anti-inflammatory.
Cardamom Pods (Elettaria cardamomum)
This "Queen of Spices" is the third most expensive spice worldwide because of its many culinary and medicinal uses. Cardamom helps improve blood circulation, especially to the lungs, often used to maintain vitality and increase energy levels. It's warming to the stomach, helping relieve nausea and gas. Cardamom also helps when there is a lack of appetite.
Rosemary Leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Grown in gardens since ancient times, rosemary is much more than a flavorful culinary herb. It is wonderful for cardiovascular weakness, particularly after debilitating illnesses, such as influenza and pneumonia. Rosemary also helps with heart palpitations and other signs of nervous tension, including headaches and migraines.'
Stevia Leaves (Stevia rebaudiana)
Known as candy leaf, honey leaf, and sweet leaf, stevia is native to South America and has been used by the Guarani Indians for centuries. It is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, without the calories of refined sugar. It does not activate an insulin response in the body, making it preferred by people with diabetes. Stevia is among nature's sweetest of gifts.

“I enjoy this body lotion and its scent. It leaves my skin smooth, but wish it was more moisturizing. My skin is very dry and it helps, but it does not eliminate dryness completely.”
