Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) Herb Capsuels

motherwort benefits

Motherwort is an herb of the blood and helps maintain heart health. It is considered calming and soothing to the nerves. The word cardiaca in the Latin name demonstrates that it has a long history as a heart tonic herb. The translation of Motherwort is “mother herb,” since a tea helps the woman’s reproductive system by assisting with some of the discomforts that may arise with menses and menopause.

The herb contains the alkaloid leonurine, which is a mild vasodilator and has a relaxing effect on smooth muscles. For this reason, it has long been used as a cardiac tonic, nervine, and an emmenagogue (stimulates uterus and promotes menstrual flow).The herb can calm the heart and ease palpitations that result from anxiety attacks or other nervous complaints.

Historically Motherwort has been a medicine to treat heart weakness, absence of periods and any cardiac symptoms associated with nerves.

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) Leaf Extract 24/6%

Ginkgo_Biloba_Leaf_Extract

The Ginkgo is a living fossil, with fossils recognisably related to modern Ginkgo from the Permian, dating back 270 million years.

Ginkgo is believed to have nootropic properties, and is mainly used as memory and concentration enhancer, and anti-vertigo agent. Ginkgo leaves contain flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids (ginkgolides, bilobalides) and have been used pharmaceutically. According to some studies, Ginkgo can significantly improve attention in healthy individuals. In one such study, the effect was almost immediate and reaches its peak in 2.5 hours after the intake.

Ginkgo is gaining recognition as a brain tonic that enhances memory because of its positive effects on the vascular system, especially in the cerebellum. Benefits of enhanced circulation in the brain include improved short and long-term memory, increased reaction time and improved mental clarity. Ginkgo's effects on the circulatory system are beneficial in the treatment of eye and ear disorders. Ginkgo increases blood flow to the retina and can slow retinal deterioration resulting in an increase of visual acuity. More info

Cocoa Bean / Xocolatl (Theobroma cacao) Extract

Chocolate fruit or Cocoa beans

Cocoa bean is the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of Theobroma cacao, from which cocoa solids and cocoa butter are extracted. Historical evidence points to the use of cocoa in a medicinal capacity for over two thousand years, since the time of the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilisations and following its introduction to europe around 500 years ago.

A cup of cocoa has almost three times the antioxidants of a cup of green tea, another drink renowned for its health benefits. It is also higher in antioxidants than most fruits and berries. Chocolates reputation as an aphrodisiac seems to have begun with the aztecs who made a drink fermented from cocoa beans which they called xocolatl.

Only 1 or 2 capsules filled with this cocoa extract should be enough to give the positive, mood enhancing and energizing effects that good chocolate is known for. More info

Indigenous hunters drink guayusa to sharpen their instincts and call it the “Night Watchman" because it helps them stay alert and awake all night. For many Ecuadorian indigenous people, the morning drinking of guayusa is a social ritual.

In addition to caffeine, guayusa also contains guanidine.

Functioning as a balanced stimulant, the Kichwa also say that guayusa promotes restful sleep and good dreams. Unlike coffee, it is said to be good for excessive acidity, bile and other problems in the stomach. It is both energizing and relaxing at the same time and develops mental strength.
