Black cohosh (Actaea racemose) is a woodland herb native to North America. The root is used as medicine and is often used for estrogen-related conditions. In some parts of the body, black cohosh might increase the effects of estrogen. In other parts of the body, black cohosh might decrease the effects of estrogen. Black cohosh should not be thought of as an “herbal estrogen” or a substitute for estrogen. People commonly use black cohosh for symptoms of menopause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), painful menstruation, weak and brittle bones, and many other conditions, there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses. Don’t confuse black cohosh with blue cohosh or white cohosh. These are unrelated plants.

Herbs, Salt, Stress Relief
USP Epsom Salt
0 out of 5(0)Chemical Name: heptahydrate sulfate mineral epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O), 9.8% Water soluble Magnesium (mg), 12.9% Sulfur (S)
Country of Origin: China / USA
Production: 99.5% USP Grade (conforms with current US Pharmacopoeia specifications. This means is it tested by the batch of impurities and in this way differs from Agriculture Grade, which is tested less frequently.)
Qualities: Epsom salts have been used as a calming, natural remedy for centuries. Epsom salt is not actually a salt, but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium sulfate. It has an abundance of health benefits, as well as many cosmetics, gardening, and household uses.
Some of the benefits of Epsom salts include relaxing the nervous system, soothing inflammation, curing skin problems, easing strained muscles, healing cuts, soothing fibromyalgia pain, treating colds and congestion, and drawing toxins from the body. A common way to utilize the health benefits of Epsom salts is to dissolve the salts in a hot bath and soak for at least 12 minutes. Absorbed through the skin, replenishes magnesium in the body, which is drained by stress. The magnesium helps produce serotonin which elevated the mood and creates a feeling of calm. Magnesium also helps muscle and nerve functioning and helps prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins, and ease migraine headaches.
Common Use: For an Epsom salt bath, add two cups of salts to a hot bath so that they dissolve, and soak in the bath for at least 12 minutes. For an even more relaxing, skin-softening, healing bath, try adding baking soda, peppermint, rose petals, chamomile, calendula, elderflower, lemon balm leaf, or other additions of your choosing.
Epsom salts make a lovely foot bath for sore or smelly feet and help to relieve symptoms of athlete’s foot. They can also be used to remove splinters by soaking the affected area to draw out the splinter.
To use topically to soothe cuts and skin soreness, mix a thick paste of Epsom salts and hot water and apply to the affected area. To exfoliate dead skin, mix with some olive oil or coconut oil and rub all over wet skin to exfoliate and soften.
As a household cleaner, Epsom salts can be made into a scrub when mixed with liquid dish detergent, and can also be used to remove build up in washing machines. They can be used to fertilize household plants and deter slugs in the garden.

Organic Calcium Bentonite Clay
0 out of 5(0)Ingredients: Calcium Bentonite clay, Pharmaceutical grade
Country of Origin: USA
Production: Bentonite clay is formed from the weathering of volcanic ash, then carefully mined to keep out impurities out. The clay is subsequently kiln-dried, milled, and screened to size.
Qualities: Calcium Bentonite clay is a very fine, odorless, and powderlike product with a greenish tint. It is silica-based and colloidal in nature, meaning the particles suspended in liquid without breaking down or dissolving, and therefore do not get digested. Holding a high concentration of minerals such as silica, magnesium, iron, sodium, calcium, and potassium, Bentonite is widely used for both internal and external uses such as for detoxes and cleansing purposes. Bentonite is fairly unique in that it holds an electrical charge when in contact with liquid, therefore binding itself to other molecules, removing stains from hard surfaces and pulling toxins from a human body.
Common Use: calcium Bentonite clay is suitable for both external and internal use.- For a purifying homemade face mask, combine clay with honey or water until they become a paste, and apply generously to your face avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and gently wash off with lukewarm water and your skin will thank you! You can also add ½ a cup to a hot bath.
- When ingested, food-grade Bentonite has a variety of cleansing properties, but must be approached cautiously. It has been known to stabilize gut bacteria, settle the stomach after vomiting or diarrhea, and assist with thyroid function and cancer cells.
Safety: Please consult your healthcare professional before internal use.

Organic Bee Pollen (Apis Mellifica)
0 out of 5(0)Botanical Name: Apis mellifica
Certification: EU organic*
Origin: Spain
Production: This raw bee pollen was collected from Cistus blossoms (aka Rock Rose). Beekeepers then ethically harvest the pollen by gently removing it from the hives without harming the bees or disturbing their routine. The pollen is carefully dried in the open air to retain optimal nutritional integrity. During the collection process, the pollen is never heated or ground up resulting in an extremely high-quality pollen which is completely natural and raw.
Bee pollen is sometimes called “Nature’s gold”. Just imagine, one teaspoon of pollen takes one single bee eight hours a day for one month to gather! Each bee pollen granule contains over two million grains of flower pollen and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen. Consume mindfully and gratefully!
Bee pollen is considered one of nature’s most complete foods as it contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. Bee pollen is rich in protein (approximately 40%), with easy to assimilate amino acids, and many vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid as well as a multitude of antioxidant flavonoids, such as myricetin, quercetin, rutin, and trans-cinnamic acid.Over the centuries, bee pollen has been appreciated for its many uses:
– general energy booster, enhancing stamina and fighting off fatigue
– cardiovascular support attributed to potent anti-clotting powers and high content of rutin, an antioxidant bioflavonoid that helps strengthen blood vessels and may correct cholesterol levels
– respiratory support due to anti-inflammatory properties which may help with allergies and asthma
– digestive support, as it contains enzymes that can aid in digestion and improve the intestinal flora
– immune support related to antibiotic-type properties and high content of antioxidants that may protect the cells from the damaging oxidation of free radicalsSafety: Bee pollen appears to be safe for most individuals but if you have any pollen allergies, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or use blood thinning medications, please consult your healthcare provider before use.
Common Use: Start with one teaspoon, preferably taken with a piece of fruit, as the fruit fibers (raw hemicellulose) reinforce the activity of the fresh pollen. Increase your intake every day by a few grains until reaching two teaspoons a day (10 ml). For normal daily intake, you may take up to one tablespoon (15 ml), daily. Bee pollen has a slightly sweet, chalky taste and it can be added to smoothies, salads, cereal, or enjoyed in any way, preferably kept raw.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required but recommended.*NOTE: Because of inter-governmental bureaucracy, when organic products with EU organic certification are not imported directly into the USA (imported into Canada first) they are not allowed to be named “organic” even though USA and the EU have an “equivalency agreement” for organic standards.
