Herb Benefits
Tulsi Leaves - Krishna (Ocimum sanctum)
Also known as holy basil, tulsi is a sacred plant in the Hindu religion. In Sanskrit, tulsi means "beyond compare." It is immunomodulating, so it helps bring the immune system back into balance. It is also anti-viral, helping ward off infections. Tulsi is also a nervine, fostering feelings of being calm and grounded while allowing the mind and body to better handle stress.
Elder Blossoms (Sambucus nigra)
While elderberry gets most of the fame and glory, elder leaves and blossoms are potent and can stand on their own. When taken in a warm tea, elder blossoms also help open the capillaries and eliminate excess heat from the body, making it an excellent fever reducer. These tender white blossoms are skin detoxifiers, so they are food for your skin in teas, creams, washes, and salves.
Spearmint Leaves (Mentha spicata)
Native to Southeast Asia, spearmint is a calming and soothing culinary herb. It helps decrease irritability, release muscle tension, and aids sleep. Since it has a milder flavor than peppermint, it is particularly lovely for children.
Echinacea Leaves (Echinacea purpurea)
Echinacea root and its beautiful narrow leaves are detoxifying and immune-stimulating, making it the gold standard for naturally fighting colds, flu, and upper respiratory infections while supporting healing. Western herbalists use echinacea to detoxify organ systems (especially the lymph, lungs, and skin), lower blood glucose levels and blood pressure, and help with tooth and gum disease.
Astragalus Root (Astragalus membranaceus)
Astragalus is an adaptogen that protects the body from the impact of stress. Astragalus is also an immunomodulator, so it acts on the immune system for a more extended period and has a balancing rather than a stimulating effect on the body. It has anti-viral and anti-microbial properties, making it an extraordinary herb for most conditions.

Testimonials
★★★★★
“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.”
