Yaupon Holly

Native Americans and Euro-American colonists used the leaves of Ilex vomitoria’s yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) holly to make a drink similar to black tea called cassina tea among Native Americans or South Seas tea among colonists, which contained caffeine and theobromine for natural energy boosting benefits. One of only two species native to North America producing both caffeine and theobromine together, this plant also boasts numerous antioxidants with anti-inflammatory benefits as well.

The yaupon is a fast-growing shrub or small tree with dense, dark green foliage that thrives in coastal environments and woodland settings, from coastal dunes to woodland edges and woodland corners. USDA hardiness zones 7a-9b is optimal, although partial shade conditions also are recommended; full sun or light shade exposure are optimal, though it will tolerate light shade conditions as well. Yaupon plants produce bright red fruits which require both male and female plants in order to produce their bright red signature fruit; male plants require pollination while propagation from seeds or cuttings while being resistant against Phytophthora root rot.

Planting yaupon in your landscape to create a screen or hedge is a simple solution that will add color and pollinator attraction. This perennial works well as foundation plantings, rain gardens and naturalized areas; its fast growth rate and small leaves also make it suitable for low maintenance shrub plantings or foundation plantings.

As well as making delicious tea, yaupon holly has many other useful applications in both food and medicine. The leaves can be used to make cold infusions or added to marinades and stocks; when brewed as tea it can help ease nausea, stomach upset and throat irritation while soothing throat irritation as well as soothing nerves and calm the nervous system. Furthermore, its inclusion into recipes for baked goods, smoothies or custards offers another source of nourishment and relaxation.

Shiitake Mushroom

Lentinula edodes (shiitake mushrooms), more commonly referred to as lentinula caps, is an indispensable kitchen ingredient that can be found in virtually every recipe calling for mushrooms. With their distinctive woodsy-meaty taste and dense texture that becomes buttery rich when cooked, lentinula caps have quickly become beloved favorites among Japanese ramen chefs, Korean stew makers, weeknight pizza and pasta chefs and other cuisines worldwide.

Shiitake mushrooms are an indispensable pantry staple, thanks to their earthy, meaty flavors that add depth to soups, sauces and other dishes – adding umami boost to any recipe that includes them! From sauces and meat dishes to salads and more!

These mushrooms are low-cal and chock full of nutritional compounds to boost immunity and heart health. Their abundant supply of vitamin D may aid cancer fighting efforts, promote bone health and protect against cell damage while their copper and selenium contents provide essential support for blood vessels and bones as well as antioxidative defense against free radical damage.

Shiitake mushrooms may be consumed raw, but due to their delicate skins that can cause skin irritation and enhance flavor when sauteed, roasted or simmered in broth, for optimal flavor intensification make sure that you prepare them before you eat them raw!

To achieve a crispy finish, roast or saute shiitakes before adding them to any dish. If making stock from these mushrooms, save their soaking liquid as this contains loads of umami that makes an ideal base for soup or sauce. When cooking them in oil, avoid overcrowding your pan as this prevents proper browning while submerging them too deeply will suffocate their flavor – just use enough high heat oil so they crisp and caramelize, without becoming overcooked and lose their tender texture while remaining tender at once!

Turmeric

Turmeric, the spice responsible for giving curry its golden yellow hue, is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Furthermore, its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties may help prevent or treat various health conditions, from heart disease to Alzheimer’s and depression. Curcumin (the active compound present in turmeric) is currently being researched as potential cancer treatment, while its anti-inflammatory benefits have proven effective at alleviating arthritis pain relief.

As well as aiding digestive issues like indigestion and gastrointestinal reflux, its antioxidant properties may also aid with weight loss by fighting free radical damage caused by free radicals in the atmosphere, thus protecting against age-related damage as well as helping fight it against weight gain. Its widespread use in skincare products also reduces acne breakouts while diminishing dark spots on skin while its soothing qualities help soothe it as it heals faster than usual – also used to decrease stretch marks and bruises faster.

Turmeric can provide many health advantages when added to your diet. You’ll find it in numerous dishes and it is readily available at grocery stores or supplement shops as a powdered form for use in cooking, from adding it to sweet and savory foods and beverages such as tea. In particular, turmeric is often included as an ingredient in so-called golden milk recipes which combine turmeric with other herbs and spices for increased digestive health and immune support.

Supplements containing turmeric are readily available; however, more research is necessary to establish safe dosages. Studies have reported its beneficial properties such as lowering cholesterol, fighting inflammation and treating depression; some people even use it to relieve PMS symptoms such as menstrual cramps and abdominal bloating.

Since supplements aren’t regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is wise to speak with your healthcare provider prior to beginning any new supplement regimen. UnityPoint Health dietitian Krista Kohls suggests eating turmeric rather than taking pills since there may be interactions with medications and health conditions; she advises those with preexisting conditions speak with their primary care provider prior to trying a turmeric supplement.

Jasmine Flower

Jasmine’s heady, aromatic scent is an intoxicating sensory experience, known for relieving anxiety and creating emotional balance. Additionally, its soothing properties can also provide relief from conditions like digestive disorders or skin conditions like psoriasis.

This tropical flower is an evergreen species native to Southeast Asia and tropical northern India, growing as either a shrub or vine in warmer, humid environments. When trained into wreath form or trained up an outdoor trellis, its lush green leaves and exotic scent will captivate any garden visitor.

Jasmine flowers have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to keep their appearance looking vibrant even during the depths of winter, and are one of the best plants for detoxifying our bodies, flushing out harmful toxins while supporting liver and gut health. Furthermore, jasmine has also been noted to aid weight loss by flushing harmful substances out of our system to make fat more efficiently burn off.
