Aphrodisiacs derive their name from the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, who embodies the graceful beauty of the feminine and reminds us – all women – of our timeless sexuality.

Plant aphrodisiacs can strengthen and naturally enhance the female libido and sexual response, including arousal and lubrication. They provide an abundant source of nutrients that help us to maintain our hormones in optimal balance for healthy, sexual vitality – at every age!

Female Libido Tonic™ is a synergistic blend of herbs and nutrients that have been carefully selected to support women’s sexual health. It includes traditional aphrodisiac herbs such as Maca, Tribulus, Epimedium, Damiana, and Mucuna, all of which have been used for hundreds (in some cases, thousands) of years for strengthening energy and sexual desire.

Female Libido Tonic™ also contains vitamin B12, L-arginine, and Pine Bark extract, nutrients that support cellular energy, improve circulation, and enhance sensitivity of the erogenous areas to promote a more fulfilling intimate experience!

Bilberry – Natural Support for Eye Health

Posted January 6th, 2012 by admin

Cutest Little BoyFor centuries, Bilberry has been used as both a food and a health supplement – and like many berries, it is “food as  medicine” at its best!

As a food, Bilberry is enjoyed in pies and jams much like its cousin, the Blueberry (in fact, it’s known as European Blueberry).

Bilberries are rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that help to protect us from damaging free-radicals. Oxidative damage is considered to be a significant contributor to age-related macular degeneration.

Una de Gato – Claw of the Cat!

Posted January 5th, 2012 by admin

So named for its hooked thorns that remarkably resemble a cat’s claw, this South American vine has traditionally been used for its exceptional anti-inflammatory and rejuvenative properties.

Cat’s Claw is one of our best-loved herbs for joint inflammation, especially that associated with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, conditions which have an autoimmune component to them. This is where our immune system fails to recognize our own self as ‘self’ and, instead, starts to treat it as ‘non-self,’ and mounts an immune defense against what it perceives to be ‘foreign.’ This results in inflammation and, eventually, can lead to destruction of our own tissues.

For soft lips and smooth skin, Shea Butter is one of nature’s best kept secrets!

The thick ‘oil’ (butter) expressed from the nut of the magnificent Shea tree is a rich source of fatty acids. These have the unique ability to readily penetrate the skin and improve its ability to retain moisture, which fills out fine lines and wrinkles to provide a softer, smoother texture and appearance.

Kids and Germs Go Together Like…

Posted December 23rd, 2011 by admin

One thing that’s consistent amongst most young children, is their innate instinct to ‘explore’ the world around them by putting ‘that world’ into their mouth. Once it’s in the hand, the next logical destination is the mouth – for better or for worse!

Along with that natural instinct for exploration, comes exposure to a lot of germs. Some of these pose no problem, and are an important part of building a child’s immunity. Other germs, however, most notably cold and flu viruses, are often ‘caught’ from shared toys or other items, and then easily spread amongst a group of children, or the family.
