Product Description
The curative properties of mugwort have come under fresh scrutiny in recent years. It belongs to the same family as St.John's Wort and Wormwood, but its chemical makeup differs. A look at ancient records reveals its many uses. For close to 1,500 years European medicine followed the opinions of the famous Roman doctor Galen, and he writes about the medicinal value of mugwort. One of the ways Roman soldiers used it was to rub on their feet to refresh them after a long march. Some experts claim that the plant's strange name comes from a combination of the old English word for an herb, wort, and the still familiar term for drinking.Mugwort herb also helps prevent heart disease.
Heart disease claims millions of lives each year around the world. Diet can play a significant role in reducing a person’s risk of heart disease. Figs have the power to reduce bad cholesterol in the blood. Bad LDL cholesterol is associated with a risk for the development of heart disease. Figs are rich in the soluble fiber known as pectin. This fiber is adept at eliminating excess cholesterol from the digestive tract before it can make its way into the rest of the body to cause problems. Figs are also rich in healthy fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 that can help keep triglyceride levels in check to reduce the risk for heart disease. Make figs part of your heart healthy diet to enjoy their protective benefits.
