Raw Vegan Blood Tonic

Ashitaba is a member of the angelica family ~ renown for its lineage as a potent anti-aging and beauty food in Japanese Folk and Eastern Medicine. It is an incredibly resilient plant native to the coastline of Japan, and has been affectionately named "Tomorrow's Leaf" because it will replenish its leaves with all new growth within 24 hours of harvest. We appreciate this leafy plant today because it provides a whole-food source of B vitamins, a rare find in terrestrial plants! It is also being actively studied for a compound it contains called "chalcones," which stimulates the Nerve Growth Hormone, a key leader in the science of longevity! Ashitaba is considered a prime Shen Tonic ~ Shen is the equivalent of Spiritual well-being in Chinese Tradition and we feel the effects in our hearts immediately.
 

WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS SHARING...

"THANK YOU FOR THIS! Even just after the very first time using Ashitaba, I felt a shift in my body - it was as if my energy heightened, my body felt lighter, and I almost automatically felt healthier and more vibrant. I highly recommend using this product for longevity in your everyday rituals! XOXO"
- Makaela

"Use this in combination with tea, almond milk, mushroom powders, He Shou Wu, Cacao powder, and Jasmine tocos for my morning coffee substitute. Absolutely love it."
- Helen

"Ashitaba and Rhodiola were my first Sun Potion products. I have continued taking Ashitaba for over 9 months and have experienced several health benefits that I am sure are a result of taking Ashitaba because I notice that when I don't take it for a few days, some of the health issues it helps with return....such as heartburn which I was experiencing almost daily and rarely experience now."
- Jeanne

ASTRAGALUS

Astragalus is a powerful tonic herb that has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is reputed to tonify the protective Qi (life force) present in the body. Through supporting protective Qi, one may see the effects of reduced inflammation in different forms both internally and on the skin's surface through improved skin health and elasticity. Astragalus aims to promote longevity, anti-aging and enhanced DNA repair through activating a special protein inside of the body that has been shown to help fight DNA damage and aging. Astragalus contains antioxidants that support the integrity of one's respiratory tract. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is seen as protecting lung energy as well as being a supreme blood tonic and supporting healthy oxygenation through increased circulation and blood flow. If you have pre-existing health conditions, we recommend speaking with your practitioner before taking this incredible herb to make sure it is a beneficial addition to your at-home apothecary.

CHLORELLA
Chlorella is a single-cell freshwater algae, nutrient-rich superfood! This special food contains important minerals and vitamins in high quantities, such as vitamin B12, vitamin C, iron, antioxidants, fiber, omega-3's and trace minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, copper, potassium, folic acid and other B vitamins which are essential for optimal health. It is a complete protein, containing the nine essential amino acids not produced within our bodies, all within this one algae. Chlorella is one of the few plant-based complete protein sources. Chlorella has the ability to gently detoxify the system of heavy metals and other impurities. The high levels of chlorophyll in Chlorella help it to rid the body of harmful chemicals and heavy metals by binding to toxins in the digestive tract. Our Chlorella is organic, with sound frequency cracked cell walls for optimum bioavailability. This is critical to have the highest grade Chlorella with cracked cell walls so that our body is able to efficiently process and benefit from this incredible food.

SOLAR ROSE WATER
The therapeutic and aromatic qualities of this Vrindavan Rose essential oil infused purified water are created to bring you to a place of calm, serenity, hydration and high-vibration. The rose flower is one of the highest vibrational organisms on earth, emitting a frequency of 320 MHz. Rose essential oil has been found to have one of the highest frequencies of any oil. 

When adorning yourself with our Solar Rose Water, we hope to help raise your frequency through both its aromatherapy and hydrating qualities. The natural smell from the rose essential oil is also a clean aroma that is not filled with any harsh chemicals or other hormone disrupting substances that are often found in many perfumes and other scented sprays and products. Rose water may also help to balance out skin moisture levels, anti-inflammatory properties may help combat skin redness, antioxidants in rose may help with wrinkles and age spots, moisturizing properties may help heal dry or itchy skin, as well as supporting overall skin health and vibrancy. We find this to be an extremely refreshing, uplifting, hydrating and healing mist that you can add to a bath, spray on yourself after a shower or any time of day & carry with you to the beach for a refresher!
