Herbal Synergies that Enhance Healing
Herbal synergy is an amazing phenomenon whereby combining certain herbs produces a greater effect than taking them individually. Chemical properties of each herb interact and produce enhanced healing effects. Read on to learn about the synergy between vitamin C and green tea, ginseng and ginger, and ashwagandha and maca. You can harness the healing of these pairings in a variety of NutraTea herbal blends.
Vitamin C Maximizes Green Tea’s Antioxidant Properties
Green tea and vitamin C are great on their own, but they’re far more powerful together. Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a healing phytonutrient. EGCG helps prevent cancer, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, plus it kills off harmful bacteria and viruses. Vitamin C enhances the body’s absorption of EGCG, making green tea more antioxidant to the body, increasing its health benefits. Plus, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory vitamin C offers its own benefits for healthy skin, eyes, and immunity. With this dream team’s synergy in mind, NutraTea herbalists crafted five tea blends with green tea and vitamin C-rich herbs.
The weight-management tea blend NutraTrim contains green tea and the vitamin C-rich herbs nettle, fennel, juniper berry, and hibiscus. NutraVision is a blend that supports eye health; it contains green tea, bilberry, and kiwifruit. Endurance-building NutraBoost contains green tea blended with gotu kola and guarana, both high in vitamin C. The cholesterol-balancing blend NutraLipid combines green tea with garlic, alfalfa, holy basil, and hawthorn berry, which are full of vitamin C. NutraBone supports bone and joint health, combining green tea with nettle and rosehip.
Ginseng and Ginger Team Up to Fight Inflammation
Ginseng and ginger are both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in their own right… but, together, they are exponentially more effective at fighting inflammation. By lowering inflammation throughout the body, they lower pain and discomfort. Ginseng and ginger together are perfect for managing painful inflammatory conditions like IBS and arthritis. By lowering inflammation, they also prevent chronic diseases. This herbal team improves digestion, too. Their antimicrobial, antiviral properties synergize to prevent stomach infections. Also, ginger stimulates saliva production and facilitates digestion, reducing gas. The two harmoniously boost immunity by fighting harmful pathogens and supporting the body’s natural defenses and responses to stressors. Plus, ginseng and ginger both support blood circulation, improving heart health.
NutraTea herbalists created the Ginseng and Ginger tea blend to harness all these beneficial properties.
Ashwagandha and Maca Improve Stress Resistance and Libido
Ashwagandha and maca are herbs that complement each other, creating a powerful but gentle tonic formula for stress relief, improved energy and mood, and hormonal balance. Both are adaptogens, and so increase the body’s resistance to stress. Combining these herbs maximizes their stress-reducing properties, producing an effect more powerful and balanced than if taken individually. Ashwagandha and maca are restorative, working together to improve resilience so natural energy levels return. Ashwagandha reduces the stress hormone cortisol, calms anxiety, and improves sleep. It’s treasured in traditional Indian medicine for its calming, strengthening effect on the central nervous system. Maca supports hormonal health. It’s an Andean vegetable famed for boosting male fertility and improving libido and mood in men and women. It normalizes high blood pressure, and reduces erectile dysfunction. Also, it supports high-intensity athletic performance. If you’re thinking these herbs together sound like a recipe for a happy sex life, you’re on the right track. NutraTea herbalists combined ashwagandha and maca into the passionate tea blend NutraLust. The effects of this herbal combination are felt most noticeably after drinking the tea consistently for several weeks.
NutraTea herbalists harness herbal synergy when they formulate herbal blends – a holistic process backed by science and tradition which produces exceptionally balanced, healing teas.
