Burdock (Arctium lappa) is a plant native to Japan that is now found all over the world. The root is eaten as food. The root, leaf, and seed are used as medicine. Burdock contains chemicals that might help fight bacteria and swelling. In traditional Chinese medicine, it’s used to get rid of toxins and as a “blood purifier.” People use burdock for aging skin, stomach problems, joint swelling, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use.

Organic Dandelion Root (Taraxacum Officinale)
0 out of 5(0)Botanical Name: Taraxacum officinale
Certified Organic
Country of Origin: China / Albania / Croatia
Properties: Dandelion is an edible perennial herb with deeply cut leaves, yellow flowers, and has a thick taproot which is dark brown on the outside and white on the inside. It is native to most of Europe, Northern Africa, and Asia, but now has naturalized all over the world alongside roads and in lawns as a common weed. It’s botanical name Taraxacum is derived from the Greek words ‘taraxos’ meaning disorder and ‘akos’ meaning remedy, referring to dandelion’s myriad of healing properties.
Qualities: There are medical references as early as the 10th century for the use of taraxcacum by Arabian physicians as a remedy for liver and kidney complaints and dandelion root is valued for the same reasons to this day. Studies have shown that dandelion stimulates bile flow and has a mild diuretic effect. According to some nutritional analysis, dandelion root contains substantial levels of vitamins A, C, D, B-complex, iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, choline, calcium, boron, and a high amount of potassium.
Common Use: Roasting the root gives it a coffee-like taste. To make dandelion root coffee, carefully roast the cut root in a pan or oven or use 1 tsp of our roasted dandelion powder for 15 to 20 min, strain and add dairy or dairy alternatives, and sweeteners as desired.
For dandelion root tea, dissolve 1 tbsp of roasted dandelion root, 1 tsp of minced, fresh or dried ginger root, and one cardamom seed in two cups of water. Steep the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes, strain, add sweetener to taste, and enjoy! Dandelion root can also be blended into smoothies, mixed with juices, or sprinkled over cereal and oatmeal.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.

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.
