What is Organic Chamomile? (Chamomilla recutita syn. Matricaria chamomilla)
Positioned on the crossroads of the ancient spice road, Egypt has a long history in growing, processing, and preparing herbs. Not only does the fertile land of the Nile delta provide ideal growing conditions, but thousands of years of knowledge have created highly skilled farmers. The earliest written records of herbal practices in Egypt are found in the Ebers Papyrus dating from about 1500 BCE, which contains over 700 references to herbal remedies. In much of Egypt, growing and processing herbs is still done in the traditional way — planting, harvesting and processing by hand. For some herbs like chamomile, this manual process is still required to keep the flowers as intact as possible.
Chamomile whole flowers preserve the sweet floral aroma, making it the perfect bedtime tea. This comforting classic can bring a tranquil(tea) so calming, it might just ease away all your worries. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your chamomile.

Organic Arrowroot Powder (Maranta Arundinacea)
Botanical Name: Maranta arundinacea
Certified organic
Origin: India
Arrowroot powder (aka arrowroot flour and arrowroot starch) is an easily digestible starch derived from the tropical tuber of the arrowroot plant. Manufacturing involves mechanical mashing of the rootstock into a pulp, separating the starch from its fibrous component by forcing it to through a screen, and finally drying and grinding it into a fine, lightweight powder.
Qualities: Arrowroot is tasteless, won’t change the color of your food, and is neither affected by freezing nor weakened by acidic ingredients. Arrowroot imparts a shiny gloss to foods and will not make your sauces turn cloudy as other starchy thickening agents would. It thickens at a lower temperature than other starches such as flour or cornstarch and is, therefore, less likely to burn. Please note that arrowroot becomes slimy when mixed with milk products and thus Cornstarch is the best choice for thickening dairy-based sauces.
The lack of gluten in arrowroot powder makes it a wonderful addition to gluten-free baking. When baking with nut flours, adding one tablespoon of arrowroot starch to your recipes will help to make your cakes, cookies, and muffins softer and less dense.
Common use: Arrowroot powder can be used as a thickener for sauces, gravies, or puddings, and is well known for producing crystal clear fruit glazes and jellies. It also prevents ice crystals from forming in homemade ice cream!
To thicken with arrowroot, blend about 2 Tbsp of powder with ¼ cup of cold liquid before adding it to a hot liquid (1 Tbsp thickens about 1 cup of liquid). Remember to add this mixture towards the end of your recipe as it should only be heated until it thickens and then be removed immediately to prevent the mixture from thinning. Overheating tends to break down the thickening property.
Arrowroot powder is also commonly used as a base for many body care formulations and is the main ingredient for most body powders.
Substitute: Tapioca starch has similar qualities and can be used as a substitute.
Storage: store in a cool, dark, dry place in a well-sealed container.

Organic Calcium Bentonite Clay
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.
