Helichrysum
 

There are over 600 species of Helichrysum occurring worldwide, with 245 found in southern Africa alone. The word helichrysum is derived from the Greek "helios" meaning sun and "chrysos" meaning gold, referring to the color of many of the flowers of species in this genus. As an essential oil, helichrysum is considered by some to one of the "sacred" oils, because it is believed to open the right side of the brain, which is said to improve creativity, increase dream activity, and encourage spirituality and personal growth. Herbalists use helichrysum prepared as a tea to help maintain healthy energy levels associated with jet lag and PMS.

 
Hibiscus Flower
Tea
 

Hibiscus is a large genus of about 200 flowering plants native to warm, temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Used as a primary ingredient in many herbal beverages, hibiscus flower is also used by herbalists to support bowel function, increase appetite, balance urination and to relieve mild dyspepsia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, hibiscus is used to support skin health.

 
Honey
 

Honey is a sweet fluid produced by honey bees and derived from the nectar of flowers. As with all nutritive sweeteners, honey is mostly sugars and is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals. However, honey does contain tiny amounts of several compounds thought to function as antioxidants.

 
Honeybush
Tea
 

Honeybush is indigenous to the cape area of South Africa, where it has been used for centuries to make a beverage and a medicinal tea. Similar to the famous rooibos, also native to South Africa, honeybush brews into a delicious tea with a pleasant, mildly sweet taste and aroma, somewhat like honey. Honeybush tea is caffeine free and rich in antioxidants.
