History: Nutmeg is native to the Banda islands of Indonesia and has been used in medicine since at least the 7th century. The spice was highly prized in Medieval Europe for its culinary and medicinal uses, and Muslim sailors also noted it as an extremely valuable commodity. In Elizabethan England, Nutmeg was believed to have the ability to ward off the Black Plague, and so it became very expensive. Until the mid-1800s, when nutmeg began to be exported to the Caribbean for cultivation, the Banda Islands were the world’s only source of Nutmeg. Long and bloody wars were fought amongst European countries to secure control of these Islands. Commercial production of Nutmeg now exceeds 9,000 tons a year.

These oils are sold for aromatherapy purposes only. 

Reishi Mushroom Powder
Since the Reishi Mushroom is known in ancient Eastern medicine as the "Mushroom of Immortality" and the "Medicine of Kings," you'd expect reishi to offer you some pretty astounding health benefits, right? Your assumptions are correct. This prized fungus may be able to help boost your immune system, calm your nerves and help support a number of other complaints. In meditative use, it has the added benefit of calming the mind, while supporting memory, concentration, and focus.*

Directions:

Take just 1 gram per day with food, smoothies, or blended into your favorite tea. Here at the shop, we put one heaping tablespoon in our Chamomille Mint tea, with a dash of the Maca. The mushrooms grind up into a very fluffy consistency, so one tablespoon is much lighter than you imagine. Also, the Reishi's are dense, so they sink to the bottom of your cup of tea. So you can enjoy the tea, and then leave the mushrooms behind, or you can eat the tasty mash at the bottom of the cup for possibly even more healthy benefits.*

History: Ginger is one of the most widely-known and highly regarded plants in the world, with a long and storied history. Because it isn’t found in the wild, Ginger’s exact origin is uncertain, although its use in cooking and medicine likely predates historical records. It is mentioned in the Mahabharata, the epic Hindu work written around 4,000 BCE, and was revered in both Chinese herbal and Ayurvedic medicine. Confucius himself once wrote that he never ate a meal without Ginger. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Ginger nearly vanished from Europe; its presence in the West was revived after Marco Polo’s visit to the Far East. It quickly became a very coveted -- and expensive -- recipe ingredient and medicinal herb. Most Ginger is now grown in Jamaica, followed by India and China.

Perfect for use with our Ceramic Oil Burners as well. These oils are sold for aromatherapy purposes only.
