Elderberries have been used for thousands of years to help support the immune response and manage fever. Shown to reduce the severity of symptoms, and help protect against infection. Our elderberry concentrated elixir also contains Chaga, cloves, and rose hips, to give it an extra immune boosting kick with an exquisite flavour. Unlike an elderberry syrup, our concentrated brew is not as sweet as a traditional elderberry syrup, giving you the same power with less natural sugar. โฃ

The benefits from schizandra come from the fact that it's a potent liver tonic. The sour flavour effects the liver by improving organ function, specifically phase 1 and 2 of detoxification. โฃ
โฃ
During these phases, the liver removes toxins such as xenoestrogens from the body.โฃ
Schizandra helps your liver pack up toxins and appropriately remove them while minimizing detox symptoms like blemishes, fatigue, and headaches.โฃ
โฃ
When we get those toxins out of our body we can experience better hormone health and reduce the symptoms of โ€˜estrogen dominance' that can affect both women and men. โฃ

What is pine pollen? It is the yellow powder you see falling of the pine trees in about April and May depending on where you live. Pine pollen is rich in antioxidants, minerals and its best part, phytoandrogens. This is bio identical plant testosterone, meaning they mimic natural occurring testosterone in the body. Healthy levels of testosterone are needed in both men and women. So ladies, donโ€™t be afraid of it, we need it too. Balanced testosterone levels (all hormones need to be balanced) are essential to reduce disease risk, cholesterol levels, body composition, and s*xual function in both men and women. This becomes even more important as we age to maintain health and vitality through life. โฃ
โฃ
How do use pine pollen? A tincture is a great way to go, easy to put into almost any drink or take a few props on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. โฃ
โฃ
The powder can also be put in a hot chocolate, like the photo you see here โ˜๏ธ. โฃ
In a blenderโฃ with 1/2 tsp pollen powder.
~ 2 cups hot water or Chega tea โฃ
~ 1 Tbsp Raw Cacao powder โฃ
~ 1 Tbsp Organic Ghee (or coconut butter)โฃ
~ honey or maple syrup to tasteโฃ
~ 1/4 cup Coconut cream โฃ
~ top with roses โฃ
โฃ
My personal experience with this product has been fantastic, I started using the powder in my breakfast smoothie or oatmeal. I have noticed a different in my alertness in the morning and being able to handle stress a little better, Iโ€™m not as quick to feel overwhelmed. I, like many women, have always stayed away from testosterone anything, thinking I would grow a beard or something, but that didnโ€™t happen. Instead, Iโ€™m feeling better, and my s*x life has been better too ๐ŸคŸ. โฃ

As a holistic nutrition consultant herbalist, I would recommend Canada Pine Pollen to anyone needing some balance. Check out their website to try ๐Ÿ–คโฃ

The fresh herb has a cucumber like taste and fragrance, used in drinks and food to add a refreshing flavour. Borage has been said to mean โ€˜I bring the heartโ€™ โ€˜A man of courageโ€™ and used for the comfort of the heart, driving away sorrow and increasing the feeling of joy. โฃ
โฃ
Used for the nervous system, lifting the spirits and bring courage to those who are feeling low or in times or change. Use in the reproductive system for PMS and menopause. Borage is cooling and helps in hot dry conditions to help cool and calm those who are hot an irritated, such as kids in the summer. โฃ
โฃ
Borage flowers and leaves have a soothing, demulcent action that helps prevent inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa in cases of allergy and infection. โฃ
โฃ
The flowers are so beautiful and alien ๐Ÿ‘ฝ โฃ

I havenโ€™t had caffeine in 5 years. This is because of a few reasons but the biggest one was being told by my doctor that I had adrenal fatigue. It was so hard on me when I stopped drinking caffeine and I honestly could only get one or two things done each day. Caffeine withdrawal is no joke but I needed to do it to allow my adrenals to heal so I could get my energy back. โฃ
โฃ
This summer I was craving iced coffee and thought I would try introducing decaf coffee into my system, And I fu***ng love it! I will still continue to be careful with coffee, even decaf coffee can have small amounts of caffeine. โฃ
โฃ
Now hereโ€™s something for the caffeine lover too, cold brew! Cold brew coffee is less acidic, a study showed it was 67% less acidic. It has a sweeter, smoother flavour and is less bitter. So for anyone who feels that coffee is giving them gut pains making cold brew is a great alternative. โฃ
โฃ
How to make ~ โฃ
โฃ
1 cup coarsely ground coffee โฃ
3 cups filtered water gently stirred โฃ
Glass jar or container โฃ
Let steep for 12-24 hours depending on how strong you would like your brew. โฃ
Strain โฃ
Keep in the fridge and add your favourite cream. โฃ
I have been using Rolling Meadow cream, Monogram decaf and a dropper full of Chocolate Reishi tincture from Pranic forest ๐Ÿ–คโฃ

โฃ
A pine pollen tincture is a liquid extract that preserves and enhances the potency of pine pollen in a solution, alcohol in this case. pine pollen is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and contains a high amount of phytoandrogens. These plant hormones, known as brassinosteroids, are โ€˜bioidentical,โ€™ meaning they mimic naturally occurring male hormones. โฃ
โฃ
Healthy levels of male hormones are essential to reduce disease risk and promote general health, cholesterol levels, body composition, and s*xual function (equally in men and women). There is an important link between low androgens and an increased risk of health problems, obesity, and premature death.โฃ
โฃ
The research strongly suggests that both genders would be wise to ensure they have sufficient male hormones, especially as they grow older. The reason for this is that across the board, androgen levels plummet with increased age. This reality is why ingesting food sources of phytoandrogens is essential to maintain health and vitality throughout life. โฃ
โฃ
the plant-based hormones in pine pollen have a strong influence on the human mind and body without the side effects of pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy (since they are bioidentical). There are few plants on Earth with phytoandrogens, and none come close to pine pollen in potency and efficacyโฃ
