ROSE
"Rose petals and their medicine help to move and open a heart which has tightened emotionally and spiritually. In both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Unani (Greek-Arabic medicine) traditions, the heart is believed to be a physical organ and the seat of consciousness. TCM uses the term shen, while Unani medicine talks about pneuma. Both schools teach that rose has a powerful affect on the spiritual state of one’s heart. Unani medicine has a category of heart herbs termed as “exhilarants”, which help the spiritual heart feel joy. Rose is considered both a shen tonic in TCM and an exhilarant in Unani medicine.
A wonderful nervine, great for uplifting the mood and alleviating depression, rose also has antispasmodic, aphrodisiac and sedative qualities, as well as being anti-inflammatory. Rose helps regulate menstruation as well as stimulate the digestion. "

HEMPIKA
"Hempika comprises experts who have spent years studying the beneficial effects of industrial hemp and continue to admire its enormous potential. We complement and upgrade traditional practice with the latest findings and a cutting edge approach.
We strive to provide superior products with a high concentration of cannabinoids so that each product represents the fruit of our combined knowledge, hard work and enthusiasm.
But the path from seed to final product takes quite a bit of thought and foresight. It is only by taking careful steps that we can guarantee the purity, safety and best possible consumer choice in our final product line.
We plant only certified industrial hemp that contains a higher concentration of cannabinoids as per the List of Varieties of the EU.
We pick our hemp by hand during optimal trichome ripeness by taking the upper third part of the plants, including the buds and young leaves.
Our hemp is ecologically grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers."
