Its properties and health benefits
Calendula Officinalis
It has a great antioxidant activity.
Calendula, due to its high concentration of flavonoids, has a great immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory and healing activity.
It contributes to the body:
Polysaccharides.
Biomolecules formed by the union of a large amount of monosaccharides. They are found in carbohydrates and fulfill various functions, especially energy and structural reserves.
Flavonoids.
Flavonoids are phenolic compounds that constitute the non-energy part of the human diet. At first they were considered substances without beneficial action for human health, but later multiple positive effects were demonstrated due to their antioxidant and free radical scavenger action.
Its natural pigments present in vegetables protect the body from damage caused by oxidizing agents, such as ultraviolet rays, environmental pollution, chemical substances present in food, etc. The human body cannot produce these protective chemicals, so they must be obtained through the diet or in the form of supplements
Carotenoids:
Pigments that provide the characteristic yellow and red colors of many fruits and vegetables. They are found inside plant cells and act as natural antioxidants for our body.

Agrimonia Eupatoria
Rich in flavonoids, tannins and vitamins K and B1.
Helps the proper functioning of intestinal and liver metabolism
Agrimony is the name given to a genus of approximately 15 flowering species that can be found throughout the northern hemisphere. These perennial medicinal plants can be found in certain parts of Africa and are prized for their medicinal uses for hundreds of years. Its scientific name is Agrimonia Yevpatoria. The best way to identify this species is through the yellow flowers that sprout from the long, single, pinnate stems.
The leaves and flowers contain a unique chemical composition that can act on the body as a detoxifying, astringent, coagulant and anti-inflammatory substance. For this reason, it has been used in the direct or secondary treatment of a wide variety of diseases over time. Now, let's take a closer look at the health benefits of Agrimony.
Properties and Uses:
Coagulant
One of its best known uses for Agrimony is as a coagulant that can reduce bleeding in the body and help heal wounds.
Helps in digestion
As an anti-inflammatory agent, Agrimony can help eliminate digestive and gastrointestinal problems, in particular symptoms of diarrhea and irritable colon syndrome. By reducing irritation and inflammation in the membranes and tissues of the intestine, it can significantly soothe the stomach.
Diabetes management
Agrimony has long been studied for its potential antidiabetic properties. The active ingredients appear to moderate the body's glucose and insulin uptake processes better than many other natural treatments for diabetes.
Improves respiratory health and fights colds
Agrimony is also widely used to improve respiratory conditions that may involve inflammation, such as a sore throat, chronic cough, bronchitis, and other sinus problems. For colds, coughs, and flu, it can be a way to speed up the recovery process.
Improves bladder control
The astringent quality of Agrimony is said to facilitate bladder control.
Detoxifies the body
The active ingredients in Agrimony, such as thiamine, quercitrin, and catechins, have been directly linked to liver and gallbladder health. By optimizing the function of the liver and gallbladder, the body can more easily eliminate accumulating toxins, preventing more serious health problems and promoting overall metabolic efficiency.
Improves skin health
It helps both irritation and blood rashes that occur under the skin, such as easy spots and bruises due to its astringent properties.
Improves hair and nail health
Silicic acid is also found in Agrimony. This unique compound is known to significantly increase the strength, appearance and health of nails and hair, preventing them from breaking easily or having a dull appearance.

Taraxacum
It is one of the treasures of natural medicine.
The Taraxacum (Taraxacum Officinale), also known as "Dandelion" is a plant that is easily found on walks in the countryside and is also one of the medicinal plants with the most important proven effects.
But the medicinal properties of Taraxacum are due to the combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, such as beta-carotene and polyphenols, chicoric, chlorogenic and taraxinic acids, phytol and tetracosanol.
Regulates Metabolism
This peculiar formula of nutrients and bioactive compounds offers a series of beneficial effects on metabolism:
- Helps control sugar levels
- Stimulates the secretion of insulin
- Regulates glucose levels
- Reduces the absorption of fats
- Supports cholesterol control
Regenerates the Liver
Studies in animals have confirmed one of the main properties attributed to Taraxacum by traditional medicine: the ability to regenerate the liver and protect it against toxic substances and excess fat.
Improves digestion
Traditional natural medicine uses Taraxacum to treat constipation and other symptoms of poor digestion. These effects are most likely due to the prebiotic inulin content.
Prevents Infections
Some research indicates that Taraxacum may have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Several "in vitro" studies have found that Taraxacum extract significantly reduces the replication capacity of harmful viruses and bacteria.
Improves the condition of the skin
Animal research indicates that Taraxacum flower and leaf extracts protect skin from damage caused by solar radiation, aging, and acne. They promote the generation of new cells in the skin, which could delay the aging process.
They also reduce inflammation and irritation of the skin, while increasing hydration and collagen production.
