The olive tree has been prized by mankind for six thousand years. Throughout the ages, it has become a symbol of fertility, heavenly blessings, peace, and abundance. Its powers of endurance are legendary. It will grow and flourish on bare rocks and survive throughout a drought. Even when it has been cut down, shoots will grow from its ravaged trunk. Its leaves offer us the power of its strength and goodness. And today, modern research suggests that the olive tree's reputation is well reserved.
Studies show that the olive leaf contains one of the most powerful antioxidants known. Antioxidants keep the free radicals in our bodies in check so that they don't promote too much oxidation, which can harm the walls and structure of cells, damage the genetic material inside a cell, and cause many serious diseases, including cancer. Throughout the ages, olive leaves have been used as an astringent and antiseptic and to protect against bacteria and fungus. They were used for plasters and liniments on wounds, and a tea brewed from olive leaves is believed to help relieve the misery of a fever or gout. In some countries, olive leaves are chewed to alleviate toothaches as well as cure mouth sores due to tobacco.

Even when it has been cut down, shoots will grow from its ravaged trunk. Its leaves offer us the power of its strength and goodness. Throughout the ages, the olive tree has become a symbol of fertility, peace, abundance, and heavenly blessings. In fact, there are at least sixty mentions of olive trees, olive oil, and olives in the Bible.

Peppermint |

The word mint comes from the Greek word Heduosmos, or mintha, meaning "having a sweet smell" and refers to "a sweet smelling herb or mint." But it was the Hebrews who made mint known to both the Greeks and Romans. The Hebrews used mint for cooking at home and in the Temple and it is often used as one of the "bitter herbs" of the paschal feast. The Greeks and Romans may have enjoyed its fresh taste and scent but they also used it for healing. The Romans hung mint in sick rooms to speed healing and included it in some 41 medicines. The Greeks used it to strengthen the "the nerves and sinews"of athletes, and today many people use it in a hot bath to treat skin ailments.
Mint is delicious in food, but should you overeat, peppermint is the mint of choice. Peppermint tea helps improve digestion and settle the stomach. Peppermint was not known in ancient days. It was first written about in 1695, but by 1721, it was as highly valued as a digestive aid as it is today.
Peppermint is a healthy and delicious herb that can be found in a number of our unique tea blends including Mint Energy and Jerusalem Mint. |

The medicinal powers of licorice have been recognized all over the world. We know the ancient Egyptians were wise to it from papyrus writings, as well as the bundle of licorice sticks found in King Tut's tomb. In the U.S., Native Americans used licorice in tea as both a cough medicine and a laxative. Licorice contains glycyrrhizin, a substance similar to the hormone, cortical. With the glycyrrhizin removed, licorice has been used to treat duodenal ulcers. Satisfied users report it does so without the side effects of popular prescription remedies.
Licorice Root is a healthy and delicious herb that can be found in our unique tea blends, particularly our Soothing Dandelion and Joseph's Dream blends.

Frankincense |
|
|
| |
 |
More precious than gold, this fragrant gum from Boswellia trees was carried by camel into the Holy Land from its native South Arabia, Ethiopian, Somaliland, and India. It was a key component of the four "sweet scents" in the incense used for sacred rituals in the Temple in Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that the formula for this incense could not be used for any secular purpose, and it was the only incense allowed upon the altar.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that frankincense was treasured for its purifying and spiritually uplifting benefits. Through the centuries people have relied on frankincense for its calming effect on the nervous system. It is also believed that inhaling steam from water and frankincense is an effective treatment for bronchitis and laryngitis.

Myrrh |
|
|
| |

Like Frankincense, Myrrh was a principal ingredient in the incense used for sacred rituals in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Myrrh is the dried resin of several species of shrubs and small trees belonging to the family of Commiphora (Burseraceae). The myrrh from some species was used for fragrance. The myrrh from other species was used for medicinal purposes. For centuries, people have relied on myrrh for its healing qualities as an antiseptic, an anti-inflammatory, a stimulant, a fungicidal agent, and a tonic. They've also used it as a mouthwash to heal mouth and throat sores. Nowadays, some people take advantage of its cooling action to treat ulcers, sores, wounds, and chapped skin. It is also used to prevent gangrene from spreading, and some herbalists use it to relieve athlete's foot and to alleviate ringworm and eczema. Steam created from myrrh is used today to stimulate the immune system, soothe skin conditions, eliminate parasites and alleviate infections and inflammations. People also find the fragrance both uplifting and helpful in promoting spiritual awareness.
