Immunity - How to get there...
A deficiency in Vitamin C can cause impaired immunity, gingivitis and easy bruising BUT if you get enough it can help to ward off common viruses like the common cold, flu and various types of coronaviruses. It can also help with iron absorption and even reduce the risk of conditions like gout.
So where do we get it? You can get it as a supplement OR you can get it in ingredients provided to us by nature. Several of our ingredients are packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. Antioxidants are compounds that play a central role in health and disease. They fight disease causing free- radicals and they minimize oxidative stress and cell damage.
Where do we have them and where can you get them? Read below!
- Used to treat digestive disorders and inflammatory conditions.
- The antiseptic and anti-oxidant ingredients in ginger help fight against the bacteria and free radicals, improve blood circulation and reduce blemishes.
- These antioxidants also increase collagen production and reduces the appearance of hyper-pigmentation.

- Guarana is a natural reservoir of caffeine (not the jittery kind!) The seeds have potent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and is often used to treat cellulitis and aging skin.

- Approved by the FDA, senna is one of the very few natural leaves that is recommended over the counter to relieve constipation and to help with hemorrhoids caused by chronic constipation.
- It is often seen as the 'weight loss tea' but we do not recommend it as such. The reason being is that it can act as a laxative when ingested.
- Since we use a wrap, your body will be absorbing it into the bloodstream therefore you get the gentle effects of aiding in digestions but not the harsh effects of a laxative.
- According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, oolong tea contains trace amounts of vital vitamins and minerals such as calcium, manganese, copper, carotin, selenium, potassium, and magnesium.
- Oolong blocks the release of the enzymes that break down fats so they can be stored. Instead, the fats pass through you, undigested. As you absorb less dietary fat, the body burns its supply of stored fat for energy.
- Researchers have found that oolong tea can cut fat storage by up to 50%

- The vitamin C in rose hip seeds is nearly 60 times than that of an orange.
- Vitamin C is known to stimulate the production of collagen and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
- The fruit also contains vitamin A that improves the moisture content of the skin.
- Rose hip also combats the UV damage by the sun. The antioxidants in the fruit improve skin texture and tone, and help treat pigmentation.

You can get ALL of these through skin absorption as well as through ingesting them. You will see the main differences though for your skin if you apply them directly to your skin! You can use them in a wrap OR you can put them into your bathwater. Either way - your body needs and can benefit from them tremendously!
