Flor·Essence® Herbal Tea Blend
 
Made famous by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse, Flor·Essence® Herbal Tea Blend is a certified organic cleansing tonic that has helped to alleviate chronic conditions for thousands of people. Flor·Essence® does not provide an immediate purgative effect; rather, with consistent use, its 8 ingredients synergistically gather and remove toxins from the body. Flor·Essence® can be used periodically as a restorative deep-cleansing regimen. Alternatively, it is gentle enough for ongoing support of the digestive and immune systems – a powerful anti-oxidant for daily use. Flor·Essence® contains no preservatives or alcohol and can be purchased ready-to-drink or for home preparation. All of our herbs are tested for purity, active ingredients and quality, assuring no pesticides, insecticides or herbicides.
 
Herbal Synergy

A very special kind of cleanse

Prostate Health    It is estimated that by age 80, 95% of men will suffer from symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which can lead to serious kidney infections, not to mention decreased quality of life. Common signs are frequent nighttime urination, painful urination and reduced urinary flow. Flora's Saw Palmetto Plus is so potent that just one softgel capsule a day helps to relieve and prevent symptoms of BPH. Zinc and vitamin B6 are included for overall prostate health.
 
 
 
 
 
Royal jelly is a gelatinous food created by worker bees for nourishing the queen bee. Whereas worker bees are infertile and have a life span of only 6 weeks, the queen lives for 4-6 years and lays approximately 2000 eggs per day!

Royal jelly contains the B-complex vitamins, enzymes, vitamins A, C, D and E, minerals and 18 amino acids, as well as DNA and RNA. It boosts collagen production, which can help to speed healing of wounds and maintain healthy, youthfullooking skin and hair. Athletes have found that when taking royal jelly, they have increased stamina, better concentration and faster recovery time, perhaps due to its anti-inflammatory activity. A natural fertility and libido-booster, many people have also reported improvement in cases of fatigue and depression. As little as 50-100mg of royal jelly per day was clinically shown to decrease total serum cholesterol levels by 14% in humans with atherosclerosis.

Flora's Royal Jelly comes from hives that are not fed antibiotics. It is freeze-dried to lock in its nutritional value and preserve enzymes. Each 50mg capsule is standardized to contain no less than 2.5mg of 10-HDA, one of the active ingredients in royal jelly.

We know that supplements are only effective if they are well absorbed by the body. Dried herbs (in tablets or capsules) tend to be poorly assimilated; liquids are preferred because the active constituents are already in solution and pass quickly into the bloodstream where they can be utilized. But which liquid to choose?
 
There are 3 general methods of liquid extraction: infusions (flowers and leaves) or decoctions (bark, roots and berries) are also referred to as "herbal teas"; tinctures are extracts of dried or fresh herb in a water/alcohol or water/glycerin base; and herbal juices are just that: the juices expressed from fresh plants.
 
Infusions and decoctions are best taken as tonics over an extended period of time. Only watersoluble compounds are extracted using this "tea" method, so it is not suitable for all plants or even for all parts of a given plant. The alcohol in tinctures gives them a long shelf life and extracts more constituents than teas; however, alcohol is a deterrent for many people.
Get the most out of your herbs
 
Salus Fresh Plant Juices are pressed from organically grown herbs within 2-3 hours of harvesting. This produces the ideal herbal preparation because the key therapeutic constituents remain bathed in the cellular fluids of the plant. The juice is recognized and utilized by the body as food because the nutrients are attached to glycosides, organic compounds that aid in the absorption process. Only the fibre is taken away; this allows for ingestion of a therapeutic amount of the plant. Some of the medicinal compounds in Salus Fresh Plant Juices, which are not necessarily present in other forms of herbal remedies, are: volatile oils, bitters, trace elements, mucilage, tannins, flavonoids and saponins, plus naturally occurring minerals and vitamins. The juice contains no additives or preservatives and must therefore be refrigerated after opening and used within 6-10 days. Now that's fresh!
 
Salus Coltsfoot Plant Juice Salus St. John's Wort Plant Juice Salus Echinacea Plant Juice
 
Simply the most natural choice for immune support, Salus Echinacea Juice contains immune-stimulating polysaccharides not usually found in tinctures. Take it in conjunction with Salus St. John's Wort Juice; many people are surprised to learn that St. John's Wort has proven anti-viral and antibacterial activity. Turn to Coltsfoot Juice for sore throats and dry coughs; it is particularly effective for chronic emphysema and for clearing stubborn phlegm from the lungs.
 
 
 
 
Our taste buds have become lazy and over-focused on sweet and salty tastes, to the exclusion of the other tastes required for dietary balance and health. Bitter tastes stimulate the production of bile and digestive juices, thereby supporting liver function. Flora's Sweden Elixir is a time-proven, easy-toswallow liquid formula comprised of bitter herbs designed to provide the bitter tastes lacking in today's diet. Based on a recipe originally formulated in the 16th century by Paracelsus, it has traditionally been used to support digestion and promote regularity, thereby helping to maintain overall health. Taken before, during or after meals, Sweden Elixir can reduce digestive distress and improve digestion.
