The Herbs In Flor•Essence
This beneficial herbal
tea blend contains burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm, watercress,
Turkish rhubarb root, kelp, blessed thistle and red clover. The herbs used
in Flor•Essence contain no pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides, and
they are not irradiated. They have been carefully selected and combined in
unique proportions for maximum effectiveness.
Burdock (Arctium
lappa)
Certified organic burdock root of the highest quality is
used. Active ingredients include 45% inulin, essential oils, vitamins and
a broad array of minerals. The Chinese consider burdock to be
strengthening and nutritive, making it an excellent tonic. It is
traditionally used to cleanse and detoxify.
Sheep Sorrel (Rumex
acetosella)
A perennial, sheep sorrel is commonly found in meadows and
grows up to three feet high, with small reddish flowers. It is the leaves
and seeds of this herb that contain the active ingredients. It is a good
source of vitamin C, and has a long history of traditional use. Flora is
currently contracting local farmers in the Lynden area to grow organic
sheep sorrel.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus
rubra)
This stately tree grows to 60 feet and is indigenous to
North America. Folk medicine ascribes many traditional uses to slippery
elm bark, which contains large amounts of tannins, mucilages and bitter
compounds.
Turkish
Rhubarb (Rheum palmatum)
The thick, branching root of this large, leafy perennial is
harvested in its fourth year of growth. Chinese physicians have employed
it since antiquity, both internally and externally. The root is rich in
iron.
Watercress (Nasturt
officinale)
An aromatic, edible wild plant, this superior "food" is a
rich source of chlorophyll, vitamins A, C and K, and many minerals,
including iron and iodine. Used since classical times as a detoxicant and
restorative.
Kelp (Laminaria
digitata)
Used traditionally for the nutritive benefits of its
abundant minerals, kelp is a great source of iodine, which helps regulate
energy levels. The alginates found in kelp have many beneficial effects,
one of which is to inhibit the absorption of heavy metals.
Blessed
Thistle (Carduus benedictus)
As the name implies, this healing herb has been a blessing
to humanity for centuries, having many traditional applications. Certified
organic sources are used whenever possible.
Red Clover (Trifolium
pratense)
Only certified organic red clover leaves and flowers are
used in Flor•Essence. This perennial herb grows up to two feet tall and,
although originally from Europe, it grows "like a weed" in North America.
