Best Mood Enhancement Herbal Tea

Mood Enchancement Renovation Tea

Ingredients: Rhodiola, St. John’s Wort, Eleuthero and Kava Kava.
  • Rhodiola - This herb helps the body adapt to stress by affecting the levels and activity of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters found in different structures in the brain and influencing the central nervous system. It appears that rhodiola inhibits the breakdown of these chemicals and facilitates the neurotransmitter transport within the brain. In addition to its impact on the central nervous system, rhodiola can increase the chemicals that provide energy to the muscle of the heart and prevent the depletion of adrenal hormones induced by acute stress.
  • St. John’s Wort - One focus of interest has been hypericin, a plant compound that scientists believe may regulate brain chemicals, such as serotonin and monoamine oxidase (MAO) that are critical to mood.
  • Eleuthero - Is a premier adaptogenic herb that enhances the body's natural ability to adapt to stress, while supporting mental endurance and metabolic efficiency.
  • Kava Kava - Relaxes muscles, calms nerves, creates a general feeling of well-being, induces a feeling of peace, relaxation and contentment, enhances mental alertness and concentration, reduces inhibitions and makes people more sociable.

Best Herbs for Cholesterol- Reduce LDL and Increase HDL

Cholesterol Renovation Tea

Ingredients: Basil, Psyillium and Alfalfa.
Basil - Active ingredients include flavonoids, procyanidins, tannins and essential oil, and basil has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and hypolipidemic actions. A study by S. Amrani and colleagues published in the December 2006 issue of "Phytotherapy Research" tested an extract on animals with induced high cholesterol. The study found that basil has very high antioxidant properties and significantly reduced LDL. After seven hours, treated animals had 79 percent less LDL than the control group. The reduction of LDL was accompanied by an increase in HDL, or good cholesterol, which removes cholesterol from the tissues to the liver, where it is then eliminated in bile acids. This study shows the link between antioxidants, LDL reduction and lowering the risk of atherosclerosis. Basil should not be taken for long periods of time.
Psyillium - Has long been recognized for its potential role in reducing blood cholesterol. As early as in 1998, the FDA already approved a health claim on psyllium. Studies have shown that psyllium husk is effective in lowering total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein or LDL (the bad cholesterol) levels.
Alfalfa - Alfalfa is an herb high in compounds called saponins that may interfere with lipid breakdown and absorption in the gut, lowering cholesterol. Other compounds may have a beneficial effect on cholesterol balance by regulating bile synthesis in the liver. Natural coumarins have been shown to counteract stagnation of blood in the vessels and stabilize blood vessel membranes, reducing leakiness. In one clinical study, the seeds reduced cholesterol levels in humans.
Alfalfa contains phytoestrogens called isoflavones, which can have a moderate estrogenic effect in the body. Isoflavones are also found in red clover and in soy products, and are touted today as a safe alternative to estrogen supplements during and after menopause. It is not uncommon for Asian women to consume up to 200 mg of isoflavones a day in the diet, far higher than the average 10 or 20 mg that is common among North Americans and Europeans. Some research suggests that isoflavones may be partially responsible for the lower rates of prostate and reproductive cancers found in Asia, and possible the lower rate of undesirable menopausal symptoms, though this has yet to be proven in high-quality clinical trials. At the recommended dosage of alfalfa, the estrogenic effect is not likely to because side effects usually associated with synthetic estrogen supplements, and may provide a protective benefit when used regularly.

Best Herbs for Blood Clots

Blood Clot Renovation Tea

Ingredients: Yarrow Leaf & Flower, Tumeric, Hawthorne, Ginger and Ginkgo
  • Yarrow Leaf & Flower - Helps to improve cardiovascular conditions, partly by regulating blood pressure and purifies the blood. It also simulates the circulatory system.
  • Tumeric - May help prevent hardening of the arteries in people suffering from diabetes. According to UMMC, turmeric tea can reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol. Additionally, compounds in turmeric can prevent cholesterol from building plaque on artery walls. Because of turmeric's mild antiplatelet activity, it may also theoretically prevent blood clots, a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
  • Hawthorne - Are used as heart disease herbs. Not only can they help to regulate your blood pressure but they can also break down cholesterol and fat, both of which contribute to heart disease. They also help dilate coronary blood vessels so that your body is able to utilize oxygen, blood and nutrients more efficiently throughout your entire body.
  • Ginger - Blood clotting is ordinarily an important part of good health, preventing excessive bleeding. Blood cells called platelets and proteins in your body form a clot over an injury until it's healed. Sometimes clots form inside blood vessels and don't resolve, leading to potentially life-threatening clots in veins and arteries. Studies such as one published in "Thrombosis Research" in 2003 have shown that ginger is an effective anti-coagulant. Researchers in Australia found that gingerol was a more effective anti-platelet agent than aspirin.
  • Ginkgo - According to the University of Maryland Medical Center website, ginkgo improves the flow of blood throughout the body. Because of its effect on blood, ginkgo is traditionally used for blood vessel disorders, blood clots, circulatory issues and high blood pressure. These are serious health issues; only use ginkgo as treatment for them while under the care of a professional. People who suffer from leg pain caused by clogged arteries may also benefit from ginkgo. One study in "The American Journal of Medicine" by M.H. Piffler and E. Ernst found that ginkgo significantly increased the distance patients with claudication could walk without pain.

Chaste Berry and Cinnamon is most effective for Fibroids!

Fibroid Elimination Renovation Tea

http://renovationtea.com/fibroidelimination.aspx
Ingredients: Chasteberry and Cinnamon
Chasteberry - Is known for being able to balance female hormones. In a well balanced hormonal environment, fibroid tumors may shrink due to the proper level of both estrogen and progesterone being produced. Chasteberry helps create this environment in the uterus to relieve the condition.
Cinnamon - Was used prior to the 1900s as a common remedy for menstrual problems, especially uterine bleeding. It is helpful for relieving heavy bleeding with clotting due to its ability to inhibit thromboxane in the blood. Thromboxane leads to the clumping of platelets, which increases the formation of clots. It has also been used as a relaxant to reduce menstrual cramping. Cinnamon has also been used to reduce uterine fibroids.
This is a 60 day regiment and Step One of Two regiments. Step two, Fibroid Flush, helps to flush fibroid from your system.
This tea should be consumed every morning before breakfast for 60 days.

Energy~ Antioxidants~ Weight Loss Lemonade

Weight Loss Lemonade
Ingredients: Green Tea, Kelp, Oolong and Acai
Green Tea - Contains high levels of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which is a type of antioxidant. EGCG increases thermogensis, the rate at which energy in the form of calories is converted into heat, by affecting enzymes in the metabolic process. This means consumption of green tea makes the human body burn calories at a slightly higher rate, aiding weight loss. If energy in the form of calories from food is burned, it's not stored on the body as fat. So with a higher rate of calorie burning, fewer calories are stored in the body as fat. Green Tea also contains caffeine, which also increases thermogenesis. This means the effect of drinking green tea is a higher rate of metabolism from different two chemical components.
Kelp - Is believed to stimulate a thyroid hormone which is responsible for boosting metabolism. Kelp also contains alkali. Alkali is important to the body for it to maintain a proper pH balance which is essential for ideal function. When your body is balanced, your metabolism and digestion are more likely to work at optimal levels.
Oolong - Increases in the fat burning process, and actually blocks fat absorption at the same time.
Acai - Is filled with vitamins and minerals that can aid in weight loss, building muscle and increasing overall energy-and is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, fiber and other plant compounds that can increase your health.
By the pitcher instructions:
Pour about 2 cups water into small pan and bring to boil. Next, place 3 bags into water and cover, let steep for about 30 minutes.
Pour into one gallon pitcher, half full of water. Run more water over the tea bags until the pitcher if full. (This will help get all the beneficial ingredients from the bags).
Slice one lemon into 5 to 6 slices, squeeze each slice into tea then drop the lemon slice into the tea. Allow to chill for several hours.
Drink one (1) glass before each meal.
By the glass instructions:
Place bag into mug and pour 8 ounces boiling water over bag. Cover and let steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove bag and allow to completely cool. Squeeze one or two lemon slices into glass, pour tea into glass and enjoy.
Health benefits of Lemons:
Lemon juice, when taken regularly in the morning, acts as a tonic to the liver and stimulates it to produce bile making it ready to digest the day's food. It is also thought to help dissolve gallstones. Because of its high vitamin C content, it is thought to help prevent and treat many infections, hasten wound healing and temper down high fever. Lemon juice also relieves symptoms of asthma, tonsillitis and sore throat.
It also helps speed up weight loss. Drinking water with lemon for weight loss is also an effective way to help eliminate toxins, clean internal waste, and promote energy.

For stronger tea leave the tea bags in.

May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month

We have teas for such the occassion!

Blood Pressure Renovation Teas

Ingredients: Hawthorn Berries, Parsley, Coriander, Flax Seeds and Basil
Hawthorn Berries - One of the ways in which the berries of the hawthorn tree may help to lower your blood pressure, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, is through dilation. It appears that flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins, nutrients in the flavonoid family, help dilate the blood vessels. When your arteries dilate, or widen, that can decrease the amount of resistance your blood is met with while flowing through these vessels. This should improve your circulation and lessen the amount of pressure on your arteries from your blood, decreasing the stress placed on your heart and reducing your risk of heart failure, heart attack and stroke.
The hawthorn berry appears to eliminate plaque. As plaque begins to form along the arterial walls, the blood vessels narrow. But the flavonoids found in the berries of the hawthorn tree seem to prevent the plaque from forming along the walls and reduce the amount of low-density lipoprotein--the bad cholesterol--in your bloodstream. With less plaque, your blood pressure falls.
 Parsley - Parsley is very useful in high blood pressure. It contains elements, which help maintain the blood vessels, particularly, the capillaries. It keeps the arterial system in a healthy condition.
Coriander Seeds - Is very helpful in lowering cholesterol levels. It also works as good diuretic. This is effective natural treatment for high blood pressure.
 Flax Seeds - Can help you regulate your blood pressure. Flaxseed provides 1.6 mg alpha-linolenic acid, or 100 percent of the daily value for this omega-3 fatty acid, per tablespoon. This heart-healthy fat may lower your blood pressure, according to the Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center.
Basil - Decreases cholesterol protects the heart muscle and blood vessels and even is said to thin the blood to prevent strokes. It has also been reportedly used to treat stress-related high blood pressure by decreasing adrenaline levels in the body.
