It’s Melora again with another Top 40 Herb of North America.  

Today we are featuring a personal favorite of mine, and we want to let you guess what it is!  This herb is native to the Las Vegas valley, and can be found at the base of our surrounding mountain ranges.  The shrubby herb has been described as “resembling a naked, barkless, stunted pine tree.”  While this herb can be found in our encapsulated formula Breathe, we are fortunate enough to have its twiggy, whole form available in our bulk in-store.  When this herb is extracted in a tincture or diffused in hot water as tea, it is one of few herbs which produces an almost technicolor pink liquid which is mildly bitter in flavor.

While this herb can help to stimulate circulation, brain function and support energy levels, this herb is one of the best for the respiratory system.  It can help to:

• Support healthy inflammatory and histamine response in the respiratory system
• relax and open respiratory passages, and calm spasms
• Support the elimination of mucus from the respiratory system
• Encourage the uptake of more oxygen into the blood through the lungs
