Boldo Tree leaf extract

Description:

Boldo is a small tree or shrub that is native to South America and is known for its small, dark green leaves and small, blue-purple flowers. The leaves of the boldo plant have a distinctive, strong aroma and are used in both cooking and traditional medicine. Medicinally, boldo is used to treat digestive disorders, such as indigestion and constipation, and to stimulate the appetite. It is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections and is used as a natural remedy for liver and gallbladder problems. Boldo should be used with caution as the leaves contain ascaridole, which can be toxic to the liver. There are ascaridole-free preparations available and only those should be used medicinally.

Description:

Peppermint is a perennial herb that is native to Europe and Asia. It is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is known for its fragrant, minty aroma and distinctive, spear-shaped leaves. Peppermint is commonly used in cooking and aromatherapy, as well as in a variety of personal care products. It has a refreshing, cool, and slightly sweet flavor. In traditional medicine, peppermint is believed to have a number of health benefits. It is thought to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, and it is sometimes used to treat a variety of conditions, including digestive problems, respiratory infections, and skin disorders. Peppermint is also commonly used as a natural treatment for colds and flu due to its expectorant properties. Some peppermint supplements are marketed specifically towards those suffering from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) as evidence shows it can help reduce symptoms in some individuals.
