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
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.

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.
