Our organically grown ingredients and how they help:

Licorice Root

Glycyrrhizin is the component in licorice which blocks and relieves inflammation. It also supports the body's release of cortisol (which suppresses the immune system), but it also inhibits some of the side effects of cortisol (such as adrenal fatigue and anxiety).

Turmeric Root

Turmeric is an extremely effective anti-inflammatory herb, and thus an effective pain reliever. It contains at least two chemicals (curcumin and curcuminoids) which decrease inflammation.

Eleuthero, also known as Siberian Ginseng, has been an herb occupying a significant place in Chinese medicine for thousands of years as an adaptogen. By increasing immune cell production of the body, Eleuthero helps boost the immune system. By boosting the immune system, Eleuthero may help speed up the healing process.

Cinnamon

Ginger

Ginger also contains salicylates, which your body transforms into a chemical substance called salicylic acid. Salicylic acid prevents your nerves making certain prostaglandins and this eases pain and discomfort.
