CBD is involved in the regulation of numerous physiological processes that affect important functions. CBD improves the mood, helps movement and appetite, reduces pain and improves sleep.

Uses:
Eucalyptus leaves are effective against colds in the upper airways, bronchial problems and pharyngitis. The oil contained in the leaves is antiseptic, and the compound eucalyptol is used to treat a series of respiratory illnesses. Applied externally, eucalyptus oil helps relieve rheumatic symptoms. Eucalyptus oil should never be used near the eyes. In infants and small children, eucalyptus oil can cause laryngeal spasms or respiratory arrest.

Uses:
Thanks to fennel’s antiflatulent properties, fennel seeds are mainly used in the treatment of gastrointestinal complaints, bloating and digestive disorders, as an appetite stimulant, and to improve gastric juice secretion. Fennel seed preparations are especially recommended for infants with digestive problems and diarrhoea. They are also thought to improve breast milk production in lactating mothers.

Uses: 
Both the flowers and the berries of this plant are used in a variety of ways: as a remedy, a food and a colorant. The flowers are especially beneficial in the treatment of colds with a fever and the flu. They also help clear bronchial secretions. The juice of the berries is tolerated better when cooked than when raw and is considered especially effective against coughs and colds.

Uses:
In Iceland and Norway, Iceland moss is used both as food and as medicine. Iceland moss is rich in mucins, which help soothe irritations of the mucus of the throat and in the gastrointestinal tract. Due to its bitter compounds and mucins, the lichen is also used to help regulate the hydrochloric acid content of gastric juices.

Uses: 
The compounds contained in the chamomile flowers have an antiflatulent, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anti-irritant effect. Chamomile flower preparations are often used to treat infections of the mucous membranes in the gastrointestinal tract or in the mouth and throat. In addition, chamomile is still recommended for gynaecological complaints. Chamomile is generally well tolerated.

Uses: 
Due to their tannins and bitter compounds, cornflowers are mainly used to treat digestive disorders. They can also be used against skin problems and irritated mucous membranes. The flower is often used in tea blends to make them more aesthetically appealing and is considered a so-called “brightening agent”.

Uses:
Linden flowers are effective against catarrh of the respiratory tract. They calm irritations of the throat, especially dry coughs. Traditionally, linden flowers are used together with other herbs as an expectorant.

Uses: 
Mallow flowers can be used to treat catarrh with dry, inflammatory coughing and are suitable for prolonged treatments. In addition, they exert a protective effect on the mucous membranes and are effective against irritations of the mouth and throat, as well as of the gastrointestinal tract.

Uses:
Lemon balm is mainly used for its calming effect on the nervous system. Thus, it can help in the case of sleeping disorders, general unrest or irritability, among other problems. Lemon balm is also known to help against menstruation or gastrointestinal complaints thanks to the antiflatulent and anti-spasmodic effect of its compounds.

Uses: 
Peppermint leaf extracts are especially effective against cramps in the gastrointestinal and biliary tracts. Peppermint leaves have antibacterial, antimycotic and mildly sedative properties. They stimulate appetite and improve digestion. Peppermint oil should not be used in the case of bile disorders or liver damage. In addition, menthol can cause respiratory arrest in small children under the age of 2.

Uses:
Calendula flowers are mainly used to improve wound healing and are superior to other remedies in the treatment of poorly healing wounds. Calendula has a healing effect on a wide range of inflammations, eczemas and burns. The flowers are also used as “brightening agents”, for example in teas.

Uses:
Sage leaves are still widely considered one of the most important herbal remedies. They are anti-inflammatory and effective against fungi and viruses. In addition, the bitter compounds they contain make them useful for treating digestive complaints such as bloating, flatulence and others. Sage can also be used in the case of mouth and throat inflammations.

Uses:
Yarrow is mainly used to treat appetite, digestive, liver and bile disorders, as well as gynaecological complaints. Yarrow also has haemostatic properties and is contained in many blood cleansing teas. The herb is used internally and externally in the treatment of wounds due to its anti-inflammatory effect.

Uses: 
The roots and flowers of the plant are generally effective against high levels of bronchial and lung congestion and are used to treat chronic bronchitis. Cowslip is also contained in many medicines as an anti-spasmodic and sedative.

Uses:
Plantain is mainly known for its antibiotic, antihepatotoxic and anti-spasmodic properties. It also accelerates blood clotting, is a remedy for dry cough, and can be used to treat inflammations of the throat and mouth.

Uses:
Star anise is used as a herbal remedy, an aromatic and as a spice substitute for aniseed. The plants contains compounds such as anethole and foeniculin, which are also contained in fennel. In Asia, the fruits are used to accompany foods and improve digestion and breathing. Like aniseed, star anise helps clear bronchial secretions. The plant is also antispasmodic and antiflatulent.

Uses: 
Liquorice root is especially suited to treat stomach and duodenal disorders. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties, liquorice root is also used to treat catarrh of the upper respiratory tract.

Uses:
Thyme is used mainly to treat catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, bronchitis and whooping cough. The plant is a general remedy for coughs and has antispasmodic properties, making it useful for people suffering from asthma.

Uses:
Mullein flowers are a mild expectorant and are used to treat catarrh of the respiratory tract, especially dry chronic bronchitis. In folk medicine, mullein is also known as a diuretic.

Nutrients:
Apples are pomaceous fruits and contain balanced amounts of vitamins that are important for human beings, mainly: vitamin C, vitamins of the B group, vitamin E and vitamin K. They also contain a wide range of minerals, of which potassium is present in especially high amounts. Their various polyphenols, tannins and high pectin content are good for our health, e.g. improving digestion and helping prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The fruit acids in apples —especially malic acid, present in very high quantities— are transformed into bases and counteract excessive tissue acidity.

Nutrients:
Apricots are so-called “stone fruits”. They contain especially high amounts of minerals in general – especially copper – and provitamin A, vitamins C and E, folic acid, and niacin. Carotenoids with a provitamin A effect help prevent cancer, strengthen the immune system, protect the skin from dangerous UV rays and prevent artery clogging, among other effects.

Nutrients:
Botanically, bananas belong to the berry group and are the only type of fruit to contain all B-complex “nerve” vitamins in larger quantities. The minerals calcium, iron, iodine, potassium (very high content), copper, magnesium, manganese, sodium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc also make this fruit vital. Bananas have a high sugar content and are thus considered energy boosters. In addition, they improve digestion because of their high amount of fibre.

Nutrients:
Pears taste sweeter than apples, so many people think they contain more sugar. However, this is because they are lower in fruit acids and are thus ideal for baby food and easily digestible diets. Pears are a good source of provitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid and riboflavin. In addition, they contain even more minerals than apples, including calcium, iron, iodine, potassium, copper, magnesium, manganese, sodium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc. They thus have a purging and diuretic effect and stimulate the metabolism, particularly the liver. Thanks to their high phosphorus and silicic acid content, pears are considered extremely beneficial for the brain and nerve cells.

Nutrients:
Blackberries are aggregate fruits and have the highest calcium content of all berries. They are also rich in magnesium and copper and have a high provitamin A and vitamin C content. They contain a wide range of flavonoids and other antioxidant compounds that help prevent cell aging and strengthen the body’s defences.

Nutrients:
Blackcurrants have an especially high mineral content. In addition, they are also rich in vitamins, especially vitamins C and E, and B vitamins such as pyridoxine, riboflavin and thiamine. The black-violet flavonoid anthocyanin has a positive effect on the body, but its unusual taste makes it unpopular among some people. Ripe blackcurrants can only be stored for a very limited amount of time.

Nutrients:
Cranberries have a very high level of vitamin C, and significant amounts of provitamin A and thiamine. They contain minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus and fibres such as pectin, tannins and fruit acids in high quantities. In addition, cranberries are richer than most fruits in plant antioxidants such as flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. Among other properties, proanthocyanidins are antioxidant, antibacterial and help control dental plaque.

Nutrients:
Botanically, strawberries are aggregate fruits and contain high levels of provitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid, riboflavin, and thiamine. They also have high amounts of minerals such as calcium, iron, sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Strawberries are significantly lower in anthocyanin (a phenolic pigment) than, for example, blueberries or blackcurrants, but are high in colourless phenols with an antioxidant effect such as flavonols and phenolic acids, as well as tannins and procyanidins.

Nutrients:
Figs are stone fruits and are high in provitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, thiamine, and vitamin K. Their mineral content includes boron, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus in significant amounts. In addition, they are rich in amino acids, fibres and polyphenol compounds and are highly alkaline. Figs are especially healthy for blood production and digestion.

Nutrients:
Pomegranates are high in vitamin C, but are also a good source of riboflavin, thiamine and vitamin K. They also contain large amounts of minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorus. Even in comparison with red wine and blueberries, pomegranates are especially rich in polyphenols, which numerous scientific studies have shown to help prevent cardiovascular diseases, cancer and arthritis.

Nutrients:
Blueberries contain high amounts of vitamin C, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and thiamine. In addition, they are rich in tannins, antioxidant proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins and flavonoids, as well as phenolic acid and pectin, all of which are of high nutritional and physiological value.

Nutrients:
Raspberries are aggregate fruits and have the highest fibre content of all cultivated berries —only wild berries such as elderberries and rose hips contain more fibre. Raspberries are also remarkably high in magnesium and calcium, and contain large amounts of potassium. They are thus sometimes referred to as the “most aromatic of mineral preparations”. Raspberries are especially rich in antioxidant flavonoids, which together with phenolic acids have an anti-inflammatory effect and help prevent cancer.

Nutrients:
Compared to other fruits, cherries do not have extremely high amounts of nutrients – the only exception being high amounts of potassium and zinc – , but they do have a large variety. Cherries are a good source of vitamins B, C and E and contain different antioxidant anthocyanins and flavonoids.

Nutrients:
Limes are rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium and phosphorus. They also contain a high level of vitamin C and are therefore used like lemons to prevent colds. Lime peel contains around 7% essential oil, the main components of which are citral, limonene, beta-Pinene and fenchone.

Nutrients:
The main feature of the lychee fruit is its elevated vitamin C content, but provitamin A, riboflavin and thiamine are also present to a high degree. These fruits contain significant amounts of minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, copper and sodium. Their taste is refreshing, mild and slightly sour, and their aroma is characterised by its terpene notes.

Nutrients:
The most interesting nutrients in mandarins are perhaps provitamin A, vitamin C and the mineral potassium. Mandarins also have a high sugar content but are lower in fruit acids than oranges, making them one of the sweetest fruits. The essential oil of mandarin contained in its peel is widely used in aromatherapy.

Nutrients: 
Mangos are stone fruits and are an especially good source of provitamin A. They also contain high levels of vitamin C, biotin, folic acid, riboflavin and thiamine, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, iodine, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc.

Nutrients:
After lemons, oranges have the highest vitamin C content of all citrus fruits. They are also rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium and phosphorus. In addition, oranges contain significant amounts of bitter and tannin compounds such as flavonoids. Vitamin C helps the body’s connective tissue stay healthy and strong and increases the absorption of dietary iron. One orange is already enough to cover an adult’s daily vitamin C needs.

Nutrients: 
Passionfruit is rich in provitamin A, vitamin C, cobalamin, riboflavin and thiamine. It is also a good source of the minerals calcium, iron and potassium and contains a proportionately large amount of protein. The juicy and gelatinous pulp has a sweet-sour taste and is often used to make juices, nectars and jellies.

Nutrients:
Juicy peaches are rich in aromatic compounds and contain a high level of carotenoids, but they are relatively low in fibre. Other significant nutrients are the minerals calcium, iron, potassium, sodium and phosphorus, as well as provitamin A, vitamin C, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine.

Nutrients:
Botanically classified as a nut, the sea buckthorn berry is a first-class source of vitamins with an extremely high vitamin C content (around 10 times higher than citrus fruits), in addition to significant levels of provitamin A, cobalamin, pyridoxine, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamin E. Its minerals include calcium and magnesium in above-average amounts. Sea buckthorn berries also contain a series of antioxidant anthocyanins and flavonoids. Sea buckthorn oil contains a high amount of linoleic acid and has a regenerating effect on the mucous membranes of the throat and gastrointestinal tract.

Nutrients:
Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, but also in B-group vitamins and vitamin E. In addition, it contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, copper and phosphorus. Lemons are also a good source of antioxidants, bitter compounds and citric acid. Lemon juice is thus good for preventing colds and boosting the body’s defences.
