Echinacea is one of the most popular herbs in use today. Before the arrival of European settlers, it was widely used by the Native Americans for a variety of conditions. Today, studies and research indicate that echinacea can assist with skin and gastrointestinal health, cardiovascular issues, and it has antiviral and antimicrobial properties while being a potent antioxidant.

Ashoka has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for many conditions and has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Studies show that it can assist women with depression, hormone regulation, and menstrual cycles.

Haritaki is one of the three superfruits that are often used in Ayurvedic medicine, either on its own or in different formulations. Current studies suggest that Haritaki can assist with several health issues, and might also be beneficial in controlling the markers of inflammation that shorten our lifespan.

Licorice has been used traditionally for a wide range of conditions and was found beneficial due to its specific compound called glycyrrhizin. Today, studies have shown that licorice has potent antiviral and antibacterial properties and can also assist with healthy memory.

Ginkgo has been used in traditional natural medicine for thousands of years, but its real medicinal value has only been recognised in the last fifty years. Today, in Germany, Ginkgo is approved for the use in treatment for dementia.
