Finally, beetroot is a great source of folate, which our bodies need to make new cells. Our blends feature organic whole dried and powdered beetroot.

Turmeric
is possibly the most powerfully healing, anti-disease plant in the world. Over 6000 scientific articles have been written about this beautiful golden root. Turmeric has been demonstrated to be equal or more powerful than many pharmaceutical drugs. It works simultaneously, naturally and without known side effects on a host of things. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-cancer, anti-coagulant, a pain killer, anti-diabetes, a blood sugar stabilizer, anti-arthritis, anti-bowel disease and a cholesterol regulator. Most research on turmeric has focused on one component known as curcumin. Curcumin is often isolated and extracted for use in “turmeric supplements”, but there is evidence which suggests that whole turmeric has some distinct advantages. There are hundreds of potentially beneficial compounds in whole turmeric which simply have not been studied extensively yet. Some studies, however, suggest that many of these compounds could be equally or even more healing than curcumin! Our blends feature whole organic turmeric which will make you feel amazing!
Cinnamon
is also considered one of the most powerful healing plants on the planet. It is a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial.

Black pepper
is the world’s most popular spice, but it is also a phenomenally healing spice. We include it with all our Gold blends because studies have shown that it massively increases the absorption of the many healthful benefits of turmeric. Piperine in black pepper has been shown to have powerful anti-bacterial, anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. Black pepper also stimulates the digestion by activating the formation of stomach acids which reduce indigestion, heartburn and gas. Pepper contains many beneficial antioxidants, some which have been shown to help stabilize blood sugar and therefore improve diabetes and reduce obesity. Studies also indicate that piperine may help in weight loss by increasing the burning of fats. Our blends feature whole organic black pepper.
