Herbal Extracts For Immune System Support & Detoxification - ROSEMARY ARIEL
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
derives its name from the Latin ros
marinus, which means sea dew, because
it is commonly found in moist
climates. Native to southern France
and the Mediterranean region, it
grows on rocky cliffs and slopes close
to the sea. It is one of the most popular
medicinal herbs in the world, and has
been extensively used by many different
cultures. Rosemary was believed to
have magical powers, hence its use by
the English to ward off evil spirits and
the plague. Egyptian pharaohs were
buried with Rosemary. One of the
constituents found in Rosemary, rosmarinic
acid, is a powerful antioxidant
that protects against free radical damage.
Rosemary also supports healthy
circulatory function and can assist
with detoxification.

Echinacea, also known as Purple Cone-
flower, has been used for centuries by
Native American tribes as an herbal
remedy and is an integral part of American
Indian herbal lore. There are three
common species; echinacea purpurea, e.
angustifolia, and e. pallida that grow wild
on American prairie lands as far south as
Texas. Echinacea supports the immune
system through a variety of mechanisms
that aid phagocytosis (cellular ingestion
and digestion of solid substances,
such as bacteria) and T-cell production.
Echinacea extracts contain a number of
compounds known to have immune
enhancing effects. Caffeic acid derivatives
(echinacosides), polysaccharides, polyacetylenes,
alkylamides, and flavonoids
are among Echinacea constituents with
known immune system support benefits.

Roman, Chinese and European
herbalists, and is mentioned often
in the medical texts of these
ancient cultures. While licorice is
probably best known today as a
spicy flavor used in candies and
beverages, it offers a number of
health benefits. It’s a liver tonic
that supports detoxification, and
it’s content of flavonoids and phytosterols
support healthy immune
system function.
...LEMON BALM
Native to Southern Europe and the
Mediterranean region, Lemon Balm
(Melissa officinalis) is a popular herb
that now grows throughout the world.
This sweet-tasting herb is a favorite of
honeybees, hence it’s generic name,
melissa, which is the Greek word for
honeybee. Lemon Balm is a popular
herbal remedy, and the essential oil extracted
from this herb is widely used in
aromatherapy as a calmative, and as an
insect repellent. Lemon Balm has been
traditionally used as a body cleanser
and detoxifier because it induces perspiration.
It’s content of flavonoids,
polyphenols, tannins and other natural
constituents also support healthy immune
system function.
