Hawthorn (Crataegus sp.) Extracts made from the leaves, berries or flowers, exerts a gentle, measured effect on the heart and circulation, making it useful as an initial therapy for persons with weakened heart function. It is especially useful for early-stage congestive heart failure, particularly before stronger drugs such as digitalis are required.

Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) has been used as a natural remedy for common ailments such as coughs and colds for centuries but recent research has pinpointed an active element called Antivirin which combats the flu virus. Antivirin is found in proteins of the black elderberry and disarms the flu virus by preventing it from invading healthy cells’ membranes.

Huckleberrys (Vaccinium sp.) have been ranked higher in activity than vitamins E and C by Dr. Pierre Braquet, a well-known phytochemical researcher. This is due to the anthocyanosides of Huckleberry, which may vary in amounts from one variety to another. Anthocyanosides have been proven to be one of the more powerful antioxidants. They prevent free radical damage to collagen and collagenous tissue, making it one of the most important agents to treat diseases such as osteoarthristis, gout, and periodontal diseases.

For visual problems, Huckleberries increase circulation to the eyes and help in a wide range of eye diseases. The berries can be especially helpful to computer workers, drivers, pilots, sports professionals and air traffic controllers. The berries have also been known to aid in the reduction of cataract formation. Several studies have shown Huckleberry to improve eyesight and increase occular blood supply in 75% of patients. It improved nearsightedness after five months of regular use while an 83% improvement in visual acuity was recorded after only fifteen days. One of the more encouraging statistics regarding Huckleberry’s vision enhancing properties is that over 80% of the people taking Huckleberry for the first time improved on their visual acuity exam and passed a night vision test within three minutes of ingestion.

Once you begin working with a Kombucha and brewing up tea, you will likely want to try her many different blends and combinations.
