Family: Compositae

Synonym: rudbeckia, purple coneflower.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: Echinacea is an adaptogenic plant that improves the resistance of the organism to external attacks by stimulating the immune system. Originally from the western North American plains, Echinacea is traditionally used for its properties of stimulating the immune system. Native Americans used echinacea for its properties of purifying the blood and for the treatment of numerous conditions: infections, wounds, eczema, rheumatism, syphilis, haemorrhoids and also as a general painkiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, European and American herbalists used this plant to treat viper bits and certain infectious illnesses such as typhoid and diptheria. In the twenties, it lost popularity with the arrival of synthetic drugs, nevertheless today it is one of the most widely used remedies for reinforcing the natural defences of the organism, especially against seasonal indispositions such as colds, influenza, coughs and seasonal allergies.

Principle ingredients: polyphenic compounds derived from caffeic acid: echinacoside, chicory acid, chlorogenic acid. Essential oil: polyacetylene compounds, N-isobutylamide Polysaccharides of high molecular weight.

EleuterococcusAcanthopanax senticosus Maxim

Family: Araliacee

Synonyms: Siberian ginseng, devil’s stick.

Part used: rhyzome and roots.

Tradizione erboristica e popolare: the botanic name of the family of eleuterococcus is “Acantopanax” where: Acanto means “thorny” - Panax means “panacea.” The modern story of this plant begins with Brekham, in the forties, who, in the course of research to find an alternative to ginseng, discovered that eleuterococcus offered many of the benefits of the very famous Chinese and Korean product. Later research by Soviet and Chinese scientists has shown that eleuterococcus is a tonic-adaptogen with peculiar characteristics often even greater than those of the Chinese root (for example, at the level of the immune system). It is still well known for its use to aid the performance of the Russian athletes at the Moscow Olympics and for cosmonauts during long periods in space. Eleuterococcus is traditionally indicated as a tonic to reinforce the body during exertions and as a remedy against debilitation and the tendency of diminished working capacity and concentration, and during convalescence. It possesses a general action of stimulating the immune system.

Principle ingredients: eleuterosides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds (coumarins, lignans, phenilpropans).

Activity: adaptogen, anti-asthenic, anti-stress, tonic.

HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha

Family: Rosaceae.

Synonyms: hawthorn, bossolin, spinapulce, calaringhe.

Parts used: flowers and leaves.

Popular and herbalist tradition: used in Europe since the Middle Ages, popular medicine indicates hawthorn as a sedative remedy for the Central Nervous System and it is recommended for heart and circulation disturbances. Western herbalists consider it to be “food for the heart” because it increases the flow of blood to the heart and regulates its beat. Moreover, it is present in various medicinal preparations against insomnia and nervous conditions. Hawthorn displays a recognised sedative and muscle relaxant action which makes it particularly indicated for states of stress and anxiety. It has been demonstrated that its administration brings a calming effect on the central nervous system, being especially indicated in cases of sleep disturbances and in conditions characterised by excessive emotionality and anxiety, in stress and in the menopause. It has also been confirmed that the plant contributes to the elimination of the emotional elements of certain states of hypertension. The studies carried out reveal an important action on the cardiovascular system with a real improvement in resistance to exertion.

Principle ingredients: flavonoids including hyperosid and vitexin, triterpenoid compounds including ursolic acid, amine, sterols; tannin and purine derivatives.

SchisandraSchisandra chinensis

Famiglia: Schisandraceae.

Synonyms: Wu Wei Zi, Schizandra japonica.

Parts used: the fruit.

Popular and herbalist tradition: It is a deciduous and evergreen climber, of great development, with scented flowers and fruit similar to berries, widespread in eastern Asia and eastern North America, and introduced in the gardens of the West around 1850. The name Schisandra derives from the Greek, skhisis, “separation, fissure” and andros, “male,” referring to the garish dehiscence of the two anther pods. The Chinese name, “Wu Wei Zi” means “plant with 5 flavours” because, according to the system of traditional Chinese medicine, this plant contains all the flavours that regulate the effects of food on the body. Representative experiments showing the adaptogen action of Schisandra were conducted in the Soviet Union with volunteers from various professions; fighter pilots, wireless operators, athletes and intellectuals. The results were extremely positive with an improvement in performance, both physical and intellectual, with greater clarity of action and greater resistance to fatigue.

Principle ingredients: active schisandrina (methyl ester of polyphenols).

Adaptogen: lignans (7% to 19.2%); sugars; tannins; essential oil; organic acids (citric acid and tartaric acid); vitamins (vitamins C and E); minerals (copper, manganese); micro elements (nickel, zink, traces of titanium and silver).

RhodiolaRhodiola rosea

Family: Crassulaceae.

Part used: the roots.

Synonyms: golden root.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: traditionally used in Nordic countries to increase physical resistance and immunity, and longevity of the individual, Rhodiola has an almost legendary history. In Siberia, roots are administered to couples before marriage to promote the birth of healthy children. Rhodiola, believed to be a powerful stimulant, was used in the formulation of various love potions; the Ukrainian prince, Galitsky, who lived in the 13th century, boasted of being a great lover thanks to the roots of Rhodiola. For many centuries, Chinese emperors, who used the root to treat many different disturbances and illnesses, sent expeditions to eastern Siberia in search of the area where Rhodiola grew spontaneously. The first scientific studies on Rodiola date back to the first half of the last century, when groups of Russian scientists began to observe the effects of this plant; it was only in the early years of the sixties that information about the benefits and properties of Rhodiola was made public in the western world.

Principle ingredients: glycosidic phenolic compounds (rosavin, rosin, rosarin, salidoris), organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic, succinic, gallic), monoterpenes, beta-sitosterol, essential oils, mineral salts.

Fruits

PomegranatePunica granatum

a precious concentrate of antioxidant substances (polyphenols derived from ellagic acid), organic acids, minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, copper and sulphur), vitamins (robiflavin, thiamine, vitamin B6, niacin, pantothenic acid, beta-carotene). The juice of the pomegranate combines recognised antioxidant, re-mineralising and vitamin properties with a pleasurable and refreshing taste.

GrapefruitCitrus grandis

Rich in flavonoids, pectins, vitamins of group B, vitamin C, pantothenic acid and organic acids, it possesses the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of citrus fruit.

MangosteenGarcinia mangostana

Garcinia mangostana, commonly known by the name, Mangosteen, is a typical fruit from the vast area of South-East Asia, belonging to the family of the Guttifere, and widespread in countries like Thailand, India, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, but also Australia and Hawaii. The benefits of this fruit with its pleasurably acidic flavour have recently been brought to light by studies that have revealed its marked antioxidant and immuno-modulating action.

RowanSorbus aucuparia

The name “aucuparia” (from the Latin, aiucupium: fowling) derives from the fact that, the berries being much loved by small migratory birds, it was traditionally used in traps in hunting such prey. Dried service tree fruit (also called sorb or whitty pear), in the past, was mixed with flour to enrich the bread at times of scarcity. Containing derivatives of parasorbic acid which determines the natural antifungal

Functionalizing

Royal jelly

Royal Jelly is one of the five products of a beehive, along with honey, pollen, propolis and wax. It is a straw-coloured gelatinous substance, with a very concentrated, acidic taste and which is produced by young bees aged between 5 and 14 days. Royal jelly represents the exclusive food of all the larvae up to the second day of life; from the third day, the ordinary larvae are fed on honey and pollen while the larva destined to become the queen bee will continue to feed for their entire life on this noble substance. It is precisely the nutrition at the base on this jelly that is the secret of the extraordinary longevity of the queen bee, which lives for 4/5 years as opposed to the 40/45 days or 4/5 months in winter of a normal worker bee.Royal jelly was ignored for a long time by the scientific world and only in the 17th century did the Dutch scientist Swammerdam mention it for the first time in his “Bible of Nature.” In the late 18th century, the term “royal jelly” was coined and its use to feed larvae and the queen bee was observed. The term “royal jelly” is in common use in many foreign countries (gelatina reale, gelée royale, jalea real etc….) while in Italy for the moment the term “pappa reale“ continues to be preferred. Considered one of the most complete natural foods, it contains water (65%),

proteins (12%), carbohydrates (15%), fat (5%) and other substances such as

amino acids, vitamins (group B, in particular B5, vitamins A, C, D) minerals

and mineral salts (sodium, chrome, manganese, nickel, phosphorous,

copper, sulphur, selenium, calcium, iron, potassium and silicone).

The richness of its composition is responsible for the tonic and energy-

giving action, useful in cases of asthenia, physical and mental fatigue.

AlfalfaMedicago sativa

For millennia, Alfalfa has been the secret of the longevity of certain animals due to the high content of nutrients. Thanks to its richness in protein (18%, 5% higher than eggs and 15% higher than milk), vitamins, minerals, amino acids

and mineral salts, it is greatly prized for its nutritional and re-mineralising properties. Today, various activities are attributed to this medicinal herb. Since it is rich in vitamins and minerals, it is a restorative and preventive remedy. It stimulates the appetite, above all in children, and is useful for convalescence, anaemia, haemorrhage and osteoporosis. It strengthens finger nails and

hair. Being rich in amino acids (the basis for the building of proteins in the organism) has a natural anabolic action. It helps prevent premature ageing,

arteriosclerosis, moreover the use of this plant in osteoporosis as a

remineralizer is suggested by the presence of phytoestrogens (cumestrol) and mineral salts: Ca, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Se, Si. It has a tonic activity, above all at

the sexual level. It increases resistance to illness. It regulates female hormone

production. It has an anti-haemorrhage activity thanks to the presence of natural vitamin K.
