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.

Certified Organic
Ingredients: organic coconut milk powder, organic maltodextrin (derived from organic tapioca)
Origin: Sri Lanka,
Qualities: Coconut milk powder has the scent of a coconut and a slightly sweet taste. It is produced from the creamy, rich liquid made from the meat of mature coconuts (not the liquid that can be drained out from a coconut that has been punctured). It is high in saturated fat, mainly lauric acid (also found in mother’s milk), along with Vitamins B, C, and E and a multitude of antioxidants. Contains 42-52% fat.
Common Use: Coconut milk powder can be made into coconut milk by simply adding water. Adjust the powder to water ratio depending on the richness of the desired milk. This powder is ideal for recipes that call for coconut milk, such as curries, puddings, baking, ice cream, and it can be added to beverages like smoothies, coffee, or hot chocolate.
Storage: This product tends to clump when compressed or exposed to cold temperatures because of the high-fat content. Store in an airtight container in a dark, cool, and dry location, or in the refrigerator or freezer (well sealed) if buying a quantity that will take more than a month to consume. Clumping is normal and easy to break up when brought to room temperature or dissolved in warm water.

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.
