Did you say "Root beer"?
As its name suggests, it is a traditional recipe, made from roots.
Aromatic roots AND aromatic spices.
Usually very sweet, but the roots still have detox and digestive properties.
Sunshine in Your Cup!
The gloom that appears between October and February affects many adults living in the Northern Hemisphere.
Plants can provide some support, or a certain amount of support, depending on the person. Discover which ones can help you get through winter and experiment!
Morning Zest:
First, our new blend to wake you up in the morning, made with Yerba Mate, green tea, ginseng, and citrus!
Just the right amount of stimulation, the cheerful and relaxing flavor of citrus with the undeniable support of ginseng.
Happily activate yourself in the morning with our stimulating blend.
Green tea, Yerba Mate, Lemongrass, Ginger, Canadian Ginseng, Orange Peel, Papaya and Apple pieces, Lime leaf.
In addition to the obvious effects of these plants, you will also get all the digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits of lemongrass, ginger, Orange peel, and Lime leaf.
Papaya and Apple add a little sweetness.
The whole blend is very antioxidant, so it's a pleasant mix to add to your daily routine for both pleasure and activation, as well as for its health benefits!
Calendula and Chamomile:
Two beautiful classics, asteraceae, so be careful with allergies. You wouldn't necessarily think so, but calendula in particular was once a source of dietary carotenoids.
Both do a gentle job on the liver, which certainly contributes to their cheering effect.
Furthermore, they are classics for a reason; their medicinal qualities are proven, and they have restorative effects on the digestive system as well as a noticeable anti-inflammatory action.
Calendula is more subtle than chamomile; the latter is very fruity, while calendula, which has more vegetable notes, fits well into soups or herbal tea and tea blends! It will also promote a gentle lymph movement in the body and has a slight general antiseptic action.
Chamomile will help calm digestive irritations, from the stomach to the intestines, and will relieve cramps.
St. John's Wort:
Feared, hated, revered, St. John's wort is a topic of conversation. Indeed, therapeutic use can affect the efficacy of certain medications, including contraceptives, whose effectiveness it can decrease.
However, St. John's wort is one of the most effective herbs to support you during seasonal depression. So if you are not on any medication, do not hesitate to try it; its benefits are well worth it.
Among its primary actions, St. John's wort increases the enzymatic activity of the liver, promoting the metabolism of xenobiotics (any substance foreign to the body).
When you think about it, this effect is very interesting, unless you are on medication where consistent dosage is important.
It should be noted that St. John's wort tea has a less sustained effect than St. John's wort mother tincture or more standardized extracts. One could say that St. John's wort tea is less potent than other forms of administration.
It should also be noted that the induction of liver enzymes takes about 1 week of consuming therapeutic doses, so if you take it occasionally, you will not have a problem.
It is also an excellent nervous tonic that promotes adaptation to different schedules.
Worth discovering!
In conclusion:
This is just a small selection of things that, without fixing your entire life, can bring you well-being.
If you have specific conditions, do not hesitate to contact our herbalist; she will be happy to guide you towards a more personalized solution.
