blueberry+lemonbalm

decompression bites

lemon balm: traditionally lemon balm is/was used as a mild sedative and mood enhancer supporting relief for stress and anxiety.  the herb dates back 2000 years and was the go-to for any upset of the central nervous system. more recently herbalists and naturopathic physicians are using for cognitive benefits specific to memory improvements

chamomile: is a powerful adaptogen that possesses a multitude of medicinal benefits.  the dried flowers contain important terpenoids and flavonoids that contribute to it’s ability to mend inflammation, menstrual disorders, muscle spasms, insomnia, mouth and stomach ulcers, anorexia, wounds and gastrointestinal disorders.  additional call outs have been made regarding proven anticancer activity

skullcap: is commonly used to clean the liver and also has the ability to calm nervous system disorders.  the flavonoids found in skullcap make this herb extremely potent when added to herbal blends or tonics, especially blends containing valerian root or st. johns wort, the sedative effects can be similar to those of benzodiazepine.  that being said, skullcap does possess potential toxins that can be harmful if taken with out proper knowledge on dosage and/or mixing medication

freeze dried wild blueberry powder is a potent antioxidant that aids in heart and brain health as well as blood sugar regulation.  blueberry power is 4 times more powerful than the fruit on it’s own, 1 tbsp of blueberry powder is equal to 1/2 cup of fresh berries

fresh lemon juice and zest helps to balance the sweet blueberry powder with unsweetened cocoa paste and sometimes bitter but mostly flavorless chamomile and skullcap for a more palatable bite

raw cacao is the bite binder containing heart healthy antioxidants and high levels of vitamin k - you can buy these products through my etsy store apothe-c.com
