Vibrant Heart Elixir

Ingredients: High-proof grain alcohol, distilled water, organic hawthorn berries, wild-crafted motherwort, organic garlic, organic linden flowers,  honey

Nurture your heart with our Vibrant Heart Elixir!   Fall in love with this herbal combination especially designed to support heart health.  This elixir combines the hearty herbs of Hawthorn, Garlic, Linden and Motherwort.  Hawthorn has been known for centuries as a heart tonic and has been shown in studies to improve circulation to the heart and support its pumping rhythm as it contains special compounds that help protect not only your heart but your entire circulatory system. The garlic bulb contains a constituent known as allicin which plays a big role in reducing the risk of heart disease by relaxing blood vessels and keeping blood flowing easily. The relaxing effect of linden is important for the cardiovascular system, especially when there is plaque or inability to control the pressure of blood flow.  Motherwort is commonly combined with Hawthorn to calm a racing heart caused by nervous tension. Your heart will fall in love with this phenomenal herbal combination. Let’s not only be happy, but bring back some vibrant living back into your life!

Directions

Adults: Take 1 tsp, 3 times per day on an empty stomach. Use for a minimum of 2 months to see beneficial effects. Hawthorne must be taken consistently to experience long term results.

Capsicum

Capsicum, known as Cayenne, Hot Pepper

Ingredients:  High-proof grain alcohol, distilled water, cayenne peppers, local raw honey

Historically Capsicum has been used for many years. In 1833, Samuel Thomson wrote in his “New Guide to Health”, “I have made use of Cayenne in all kinds of disease, and have given it to patients of all ages and under every circumstance that has come under my practice; and can assure the public that it is perfectly harmless, never having known to produce any bad effects whatever. It is no doubt, the most powerful stimulant known, but its power is entirely congenial to nature, being powerful only in raising and maintain that heat on which life depends.”

Capsicum is often used when the circulatory system can benefit. It is typically used when body heat is low, and reaction sluggish.

It possesses an extraordinary power in removing congestion by its action upon nerves and circulation. (Practical Herbalism, Philip Fritchey, MH, ND)

Considerations: “The Physician’s Desk Reference for Herbal Medicines warns that long-term topical application can lead to blistering and skin ulceration, and that high doses taken internally over extended periods might bring about chronic gastritis, kidney and liver damage, and neurotoxic effects. Traditional herbalists strongly disagree, and the author’s experience has never given the slightest indication of persistent irritation or injury from the use of Capsicum, topically, or internally.” Practical Herbalism, Philip Fritchey, MH, ND)

Dosage:  Typically one drop under the tongue as needed.

As with any herbal preparation, dosage should be determined based on the status of your health and guidance from your practitioner.

Motherwort contains several antioxidants and has been linked to various health benefits.  These include a reduced risk of heart disease, as well as decreased blood pressure and heart rate caused by stress or anxiety.
