Fennel, Foeniculum dulce

Fennel, commonly known as Wild Fennel, is a Mediterranean plant with Middle Eastern origins and renowned aromatic and phytotherapeutic properties. The seeds, rich in anethole, potassium and vitamin C, are beloved for their carminative properties, aiding in the elimination and reduction of intestinal gas; among their many merits, digestive, stimulant and diuretic properties stand out. Using the seeds in infusion releases its aromas and releases its active ingredients.

Lemon, Citrus limon

Lemon, the fruit of Citrus limon, has uncertain origins but has been appreciated throughout the world for millennia and boasts wide therapeutic as well as dietary use. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and mineral salts and has a wide range of therapeutic and nutritional properties, bringing great benefits to the circulation, digestive, and respiratory systems. The infused peel releases all its aromas enhancing digestive and astringent properties.

Licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra

Licorice, a plant of Asian origin and typical of the Mediterranean, plays a primary role in Chinese medicine and has been used for thousands of years for its digestive, diuretic, depurative and anti-inflammatory properties. It owes its benefits in particular to Glycyrrhizin, an active ingredient with strong benefits for the circulatory system; the infused root is renowned for easing intestinal disorders, protecting mucous membranes, promoting digestion and liver function.

Lemon balm, Melissa officinalis

Lemon balm, also known as Cedronella, lemon grass, or lemon grass, is traditionally used in herbal medicine against nervous excitement. Lemon balm excelled in the gardens of Benedictine monasteries and formed part of the composition of one of their famous liqueurs, the elixir of long life.” The pleasant aroma and flavor of lemon are due to the presence of essential oil in the leaves, which are employed in anxiety states with somatizations affecting the gastrointestinal system.

Mint, Mentha x piperita

Peppermint, a variety of the genus Mentha, is a plant of European origin now cultivated and appreciated worldwide; rich in enzymes and flavonoids, it owes most of its beneficial properties to Menthol. Mint, already appreciated in ancient times by the Egyptians and Greeks, promotes respiration, invigorates the nervous system, aids digestion, protects the liver and intestines, and alleviates symptoms of flu, colds and diarrhea. The infused leaves release all the aromas and essences with their characteristic flavor, promoting proper digestion and leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness.

Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis

Rosemary, rich in sodium, flavonoids and essential oils, has beneficial properties mainly for the digestive and circulatory systems. In infusion it aids digestion, has astringent power, and promotes liver function.

Sage, Salvia officinalis

Salvia, a typical plant of Southern Europe, owes its name to the Latin verb “to save” and was considered sacred by the ancient Romans; it has a variety of uses in European folk traditions, traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic practices. Sage is rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids with pronounced estrogenic and antispastic properties useful in relieving menstrual disorders and aiding digestion. When infused, it is a natural relaxant, recommended after meals for its stomach and intestinal benefits.

Ginger, Zingiber officinale

The rhizome of this plant native to the tropical forests of India and Southeast Asia is widely used both as a spice and as a traditional remedy. The active ingredients it contains (gingerols) make ginger an effective antioxidant against inflammation, congestion, coughs, colds and fevers. In traditional Chinese medicine it performs an action called “dispersing the cold” accumulated in the body.
