3 Great Herbs

Ginger
Spicy, zesty, peppery yet slightly sweet, this herb comes in root form and is best used as a tea or fruit ade. It can also be chopped up and added to chicken marinade for a bit of a kick. Ginger root contains chemicals that help soothe and relax tight, constricted muscles, resulting in mild to moderate pain relief (especially for cramps).

Rosemary
Crisp, clean and aromatic, this woody herb adds great flavor to chicken, fish and potatoes. Remove the tiny, sappy leaves and either blanche them with the food or add it on top just after cooking. Rosemary creates a calming and cleansing effect on the nasal passages and palette.

Cilantro
A must for any Mexican dish, this strong, tangy herb also packs a punch in egg, beef and potato dishes. It cleanses the palette and stimulates digestion.
