Friday's Featured Herb: Lemongrass

"There is no grass like Lemongrass.
It is a truly useful medicinal plant and a delicious food flavoring."

More than it's inviting scent and distinct flavor, Lemongrass (Andropogon citratus, also known as Tanglad in the Philippines) really does possess a lot of useful, albeit under-appreciated, properties and provides an abundance of worthwhile health benefits, without any known negative side effects.

Did you know that Lemongrass Tea helps tone muscle and tissue cells and cleanses your liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder and digestive tract?! It's even been shown to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol by cleansing the body of excess fats, uric acid and other toxins in the body. Lemongrass tea has even been shown to help reduce acne and pimples and improve overall skin health!

Because Lemongrass possesses both antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, it is often used to alleviate indigestion, gastroenteritis and nervous disorders and consumed consistently over time, Lemongrass Tea can greatly improve metabolism, digestion and blood circulation! And most importantly, Lemongrass Tea provides safe, effective & almost immediate stress relief! (and tastes great too!)

And as an added tip for women, in the Philippines, it is suggested to mix Lemongrass with pepper (either as tea or cooked into a meal) as a home therapy for menstrual troubles, nausea and to help stimulate lactation.

Added tidbit about Lemongrass:

Many people actually already know Lemongrass by it's other popular name- citronella - the common scent you usually find in candles, perfumes and soaps. Citronella is known for its calming effect that relieves insomnia or stress. It is also considered as a mild insect repellant.

*And, when it comes to pets, citronella is used to neutralize excessive barking of dogs. For some reason, dogs hate citronella, and many people use Lemongrass spray bottles to help lessen their dog's disruptive behaviors.

(W)holistic Wednesday

"In education and medicine, we struggle to educate and treat the whole person, because it is the whole person walking through a day, a disease, and a life. But what does it mean to take the 'whole' person into account?"
- Nancy L. Brown, PhD

Holism is about raising awareness about the causes of suffering and dis-ease and teaches people to get in touch with themselves more and to learn how to relieve their suffering and prevent future symptoms; and, most importantly, holism is about enhancing the patient's life system to optimize life-long well being.

Holistic healthcare focuses primarily on prevention and treatment of the individual and addresses the unique needs and nature of the "person who has an illness, rather than the illness that has the person." (American Holistic Medical Association)

Holism is about embracing a lifetime of learning about all safe and effective options available for diagnosis and treatments. The realm of choices may include lifestyle coaching, herbal medicine, body and energy work and other complementary approaches and therapies from a variety of traditions, as well as conventional drugs and surgery if needed.

Here at Yera Dé, we fully embrace and support the holistic healthcare movement and, using our own life experiences, teach by example in hopes of helping people to help themselves. We believe in the innate healing power of the body, mind and spirit and aim to create holistic products and educational services that support lifestyle choices which are truly health(ier) on all levels. It is our lifelong goal to promote holistic health and wellness care and disease prevention education and of course, world peace!!!

And we are a relationship-centered company, which means you, our customers, are a huge part of our healing journey and happiness as well! We truly appreciate getting to know you and working with you to help you create your ideal life and perfect cup of tea!!

Jaime & Jason
