This is my all time favourite herb! It has many medicinal properties ~ it is anti-microbial, anti-viral, soothing to the mucous membranes and I think tastes amazing!
The kids have been in school for the last few weeks and their classmates have been sick and the girls’ immunes have been challenged. I have been adding “Berry Well’ in their smoothies as well as cod liver oil and probiotics, but this morning Pearl came down and said she didn’t feel well. So I gave her a dropperful of glycyrrhiza tincture with some warm water and she guzzled it down ..super fast!
You can pick up a tincture bottle at any healthfood store or purchase through Emerson on my site. It is nice to have handy!
Be well,

We have one almost every morning. I let the kids pick what fruits to put in but lately this has been our favourite combination - bananas, mangos and raspberries ( sometimes strawberries).
I also put in a few hidden health treasures! Nordic Natural cod liver oil, and I alternate between a soy based (IsoProtein) and whey and rice based (ProBalance) protein powder from Pure Encapsulations. Periodically I will add some Innate Probiotics and if I am a little concerned about someone getting sick I will add the Berry Well.

You can purchase these through Emerson in my shopping supplement. The access code is 96743. If you have not set up an account with Emerson they will ask you to do so.
Having this smoothie along with a yummy breakfast/granola cookie is a great way to start the day!
Be well,
