Green tea (Camellia Sinensis)

1. Powerful Antioxidants: Abundant in catechins like EGCG, green tea combats oxidative stress and lowers the risk of chronic diseases.

3. Weight Management: Boosts metabolism and aids in fat burning, assisting with weight loss efforts.
4. Cognitive Enhancement: Contains caffeine and L-theanine for improved focus, alertness, and mental clarity.
5. Digestive Support: May alleviate digestive issues and soothe gastrointestinal discomfort.

8. Stress Reduction: L-theanine promotes relaxation and reduces stress levels.
9. Anti-Inflammatory: Helps reduce inflammation in the body, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases.
10. Cancer Prevention: Research suggests green tea's antioxidants may help prevent cancer cell growth.
11. Skin Benefits: Protects against UV damage, contributes to clearer skin, and may slow the aging process.
12. Type 2 Diabetes Management: Improves insulin sensitivity and regulates blood sugar, reducing diabetes risk.

ROSE PETALS (Rosa):  Rose petals are packed with antioxidants as well as Vitamin A and E which is great for the skin.  They can relieve menstrual pain (when used for a minimum of 3 months), remove toxins from the body and support digestive health.  Rose petals also calm the nerves to help those suffering from insomnia, fatigue, depression and anxiety.

CALENDULA (Calendula): Calendula (sunflower blossoms) improve the appearance of the skin, boost vision, lower inflammation, protect oral health and speed up healing.

CORNFLOWER (centaurea): Cornflower is rich in potassium and anti- inflammatory properties.  It has been used traditionally to heal wounds.  Cornflower is also good for digestive upsets like constipation and water retention.

For optimal benefits, incorporate green tea into a balanced diet and lifestyle, and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
