Reputed Health Benefits:Organic Fair Trade Nettle Leaf  significantly relieves the pain of arthritis sufferers according to a recent study. Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) has been used as a pain-relieving folk remedy for centuries , Organic Fair Trade Ginseng  It is an adaptogen - it increases the body's ability to handle a wide variety of stresses. , Organic Fair Trade Licorice Root acts in the body like cortisone, without the harmful side-effects. Licorice is believed to enhance the action of bupleuri. Licorice also has significant anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy activity. Licorice components are able to bind to glucocorticoid receptors on cells and exert glucocorticoid-like effects. It has been used historically in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, asthma and other conditions that put added stress on the adrenals.*Long-term use of licorice can cause an elevation of blood pressure*. Organic Fair Trade Rosemary contains four anti-inflammatory substances-earnosol, oleanolic acid, rosmarinic acid, and ursolic acid. Carnosol acts on the same anti-inflammatory pathways as both steroids and aspirin, oleanolic acid has been marketed as an antioxidant in China, rosmarinic acid acts as an anti-inflammatory, and ursolic acid, which makes up about four percent of the plant by weight, has been shown to have antiarthritic effects in animal trials. Organic Fair Trade Ginger Root, Indian researchers gave three to seven grams of ginger a day to 18 people with osteoarthritis and 28 with rheumatoid arthritis. More than 75 percent of those participating in the study reported at least some relief from pain and swelling.
