Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 A Safe and Effective Herbal Blend for Rest and Relaxation Careful blending of specific herbs can intensify the healing properties of individual herbs, creating a more potent and effective healing formula than if the herbs were used on their own. For example, a tea that uses a synergistic blend of relaxing herbs can lull you into a soothing, restful sleep with no worries about side-effects or dependency. In different cultures around the world Spearmint leaf, Lemongrass, Chamomile flower, Skullcap and Passionflower are blended together to create a formula that is soothing, gentle and relaxing, but potent enough to help you sleep well. • Spearmint leaves-Mentha viridis - Soothes and settles the nerves, and can calm a nervous stomach. • Lemongrass herb-Cymbopogon citrates - Characterized by a strong citrus flavour, lemongrass is relaxing and helps to clear the head. • Chamomile flowers-Matricaria chamomilla (German Chamomile) - Used for centuries to calm nerves and induce sleep, Chamomile is also anti-inflammatory and can ease irritation. • Skullcap herb-Scutellaria laterifolia - Is food for the nerves. It supports and strengthens as well as giving relief from diseases that affect the nerves and aids in easing sleep disturbances and restlessness. • Passionflower-Passiflora incarnata - Passionflower is used to treat hyperactivity, insomnia and nervous tension and has been traditionally used by Native American tribes as an overall tonic. A Robust and Flavourful Herbal Blend to Improve Digestion Today's stressful, modern lifestyle is wreaking havoc on our digestive systems through the use of alcohol, refined & processed foods and artificial stimulants like coffee. But did you know that traditional herbal medicine can be blended into a robust and flavourful, formula to create a tea that will assist digestion? During the 13th and 14th centuries in Europe, spices like Ginger and Black Pepper were as valuable as gold, not just for their taste but for their healing properties. Explorers traveled to the ancient shores of exotic Asia to bring such fragrant treasures back to the Old Country. Based on the ancient Indian healing science of Ayurveda, a formulation of digestion-aiding Ginger with a touch of Black Pepper, mixed with aromatic Peppermint leaf, soothing Licorice Root and delicious Lemongrass makes a timeless digestive blend that is wonderfully gentle on the stomach while acting as a warming tonic to build the entire body. • Ginger root-Zingiber officinale - Is an excellent herb to use for any type of digestive upset or difficulty. It is stimulating and warming and is effective for gastritis and for combating motion sickness. • Peppermint leaves-Mentha piperata - Peppermint improves digestion and acts as a sedative on the stomach. It is useful for cases of nausea and morning sickness. • Lemongrass herb-Cymbopogon citrates - Characterized by a strong citrus flavour, Lemongrass is common in the tropics of Southeast Asia. • Black Pepper-Piper nigrum - Used as a stimulant, pepper improves circulation and digestion. • Licorice root-Glycyrrhiza glabra - Used as a remedy for stomach problems and ulcers, it is also helpful for supplying needed energy to the system when recovering from an illness.
