It's National Grapefruit Month!

I love grapefruit; it is delightfully tart and refreshing...and I love having one with my breakfast because it peps me up for the day! This juicy fruit also has many health benefits! It contains citric acid, natural sugars, essential oils like limonene, pinene and citral. It has high amounts of vitamin C, and smaller amounts of vitamin A, B complex, E and K. In the mineral department, larger amounts of calcium, folic acid, phosphorus, and potassium are found.I can see why February is National Grapefruit month because grapefruit is immensely beneficial during the cold season! A common cold is usually your body telling you that you are overworked. A regular drink of grapefruit during a stressful period gives your immune system the boost needed to prevent it coming on. Also, drinking a freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice helps relieve sore throats and soothes coughs.

Grapefruit also combines well with some of the exotic herbs that I carry in my shop. When combining fresh squeezed grapefruit juice to any type of kratom leaf powder it enables the body to absorb more of the active ingredients in the kratom leaf; which means it synergizes well with this herb. Kratom leaf contains alkaloids that are thought to play a beneficial role on the immune system and lower blood pressure, as well as epicatechin, a powerful antioxidant also found in dark chocolate and closely related to the EGCG that gives green tea its beneficial effects.To purchase or to find out more about the exotic kratom leaf powders that I carry in my Eco-Friendly Freckles shop, you can find them here:

Kratom is a tropical tree that is used for its aromatherapy and medicinal properties. It is an extraordinary plant that has been used for a long time; this plant is easy to grow and it is unregulated in the United States. Kratom has a long history in the East, and it has been used for its therapeutic properties by many people. Kratom is a tropical tree growing from 15-50 feet tall that is native to Thailand and Malaysia.


Kratom can be burned as incense and it combines well with other incense blends for a pleasant natural aroma. For centuries, Kratom has been very useful for its uplifting and medicinal qualities in its native cultures; it has helped with depression, pain, sexual enhancement, and diarrhea to name a few; it also is found to be a creativity booster and mood lifter. “Kratom also contains alkaloids that are thought to play a beneficial role on the immune system and lower blood pressure, as well as epicatechin, a powerful antioxidant also found in dark chocolate and closely related to the EGCG that gives green tea its beneficial effects” (posted from the Wikipedia link listed below). To find out more about this beneficial and historic herb you can visit the link at the bottom of this listing. However, this Bali Kratom herb is sold as exotic incense only.
