Black Seeds and Black Seed Oil

Black Seed is a flowering plant native to Asia and the Mediterranean whose seed has been used to make medicine for thousands of years. The seed has been used in cooking since the second millennium and is often found in Indian, Middle Eastern, Armenian and Turkish cuisines. Called the blessed oil, the Prophet Muhammad claimed it could cure just about everything except death. Its power comes from its high nutrient and amino acid profile. Start with both oil & seeds. Incorporate the seeds by adding to vegetables, lentils, beans, soup and bread recipes. Massage oil on painful joints or drink with juice.

Moringa

Moringa is native to South Asia and cultivated in the Caribbean, Africa and both South and Central America. Often referred to as a drumstick tree or horseradish tree, moringa is rich in phytonutrients and essential amino acids. It’s also a rich source of iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium – all natural pain relievers. The powder is used for diabetes, pain relief from arthritis, joint, back and hip stiffness, digestive issues as well as weight loss. Add organic moringa powder to juice, smoothies, tea or even to veggies. Also available in tea, pill and herbal formulations, as well as bulk powder from most health food stores, its anti-inflammatory properties are excellent for pain caused by any inflammatory condition.

Bromelain

Bromelain is extracted from the stems of pineapple plants. A natural protein-digesting enzyme like pineapple juice, its health benefits are many. Bromelain helps with joint and body pain, arthritis pain, inflammatory conditions, muscle soreness and sciatica. Available in capsule form.

Tart Cherries

Tart cherries contain a large amount of anthocyanins, also known as flavonoids. Flavonoids are rich in anti-inflammatory properties that also naturally reduce oxidative stress on the body. Used by professional athletes all over the world, tart cherry juice is used for joint stiffness and pain and for pain caused by a variety of other conditions. Known to reduce recovery time after tough workouts, tart cherries are available in capsule, soft-gel and juice form.

CHERRiSH

CHERRiSH was born out of our own personal experience with the healing benefits of tart cherry juice. As marathon runners, we experienced the impact of tart cherry juice first hand after learning about it from fellow athletes. We tried it, and while we couldn’t believe how much it helped in reducing inflammation and speeding muscle recovery, the taste was just too tart. By combining a small amount of sweet Bing cherries with the tart cherries, we created a refreshing and rejuvenating beverage that tastes great, speeds muscle recovery, and offers pain relief simply and naturally. CHERRiSH juices have no added apple juice, fillers or sugars, perfect for anyone monitoring their glycemic index. CHERRiSH is enjoyed by top performance athletes, as well as health-conscious individuals looking for a healthy, tasty beverage.
