2. Cannabis (Cannabis Sativa)

Cannabis sativa is yet another plant possessing top-notch anti-microbial properties. Owing to the high levels of cannabinoids, it imparts anti-inflammatory properties.

For the throat-related complaints, try consuming cannabis tea or a cannabis throat lozenge for direct relief. Avoid smoking cannabis, as it could further throat irritation.

3. Shiitake Mushrooms (Lentinula Edodes)

Along with the herbs, even fungi contain extensive healing properties and health benefits. One such fungus is the shiitake mushroom which contains Vitamin D. Lentinula edodes have anti-inflammatory properties. Also, it relieves symptoms of the common cold. It improves the immune response of the body by elevating the release of cytokines. Also, the fungi might help in increasing the levels of immune cells for proper healing.

4. Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) 

Emerging from the premises of European forests is the herb called Licorice. The herb contains antiviral effects on your body and alleviates viral cold upto a great extent. This is due to high amounts of antioxidants in the Glycyrrhiza Glabra extracts. Naturopaths recommend licorice root for throat-related ailments like soreness, infections, and dry cough.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣
