The advancements in science and technology have been extremely positive for the world. From medicine to technology, every area of life is improved. With all these things, the world has come to know the side effects of artificially created medicines and multivitamins.
It is precisely why people are now turning towards an organic lifestyle. They’re not eating fresh produce but they also prefer treating themselves with herbs and plants instead of allopathic medicines. To help you further, here I have prepared a list of herbs and plants that you should add to your daily life:
Turmeric
Originated from India, turmeric is truly a magical herb. What is it that turmeric cannot do? It builds up the immune system, improves digestion, boosts liver health, helps lose weight, clears the skin, prevents cancer, purifies the blood, helps manage pain, and more.
It can be consumed in a variety of ways. However, for regular use, I suggest you add a pinch of turmeric to your daily meals. That way, you’ll have its benefits without even knowing it.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus that is a primary source of food. It is loaded with nutrients and can be beneficial for your mind and body in many ways. They can also mitigate the risk of issues like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions.
Mushrooms, when consumed in dried form, can be beneficial for stress and anxiety relief, too. Although they can be added to your everyday meals, a number of people prefer shroom chocolates and beverages for a better taste.
Saffron
Saffron, also known as saffron crocus, is a spice derived from the crocus sativus flowers. It’s a powerful antioxidant that can reduce your appetite and aid in weight loss, reduce symptoms of PMS, prevent severe conditions like cancer, improve mood, and treat the symptoms of depression.
Not to mention, saffron can act as an aphrodisiac. It can increase libido for both men and women. However, since it’s very expensive, it’s sold per pound and usually used only for garnishing and seasoning food.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha also called poison gooseberry and winter cherry is an all-year evergreen shrub that’s loaded with multiple healing properties. Native to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, ashwagandha works wonderfully for both physical and psychological health.
It can boost brain function, improve fertility and levels of testosterone in men, fight stress as well as anxiety. It can lower blood pressure, reduce edema, and alter the immune system.
Passionflower
Passionflower, also known as purple passionflower, maypop, and wild apricot, is a perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems. Native to Southeastern America, passionflower is used in making many dietary supplements.
It can treat body aches, heart rhythm problems, and menopausal symptoms. Apart from that, it has psychological benefits, too. It works well for sleep-related disorders and hyperactivity issues.
The Bottom Line…
Apart from that, make sure to be mindful of what you eat. Your diet has a significant effect on your physical and mental health. Thus, it’s mandatory to be a mindful eater. I wish you well, my friends!
