The juniper berry (Juniperus communis) is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which occur naturally in its berries. These antioxidants protect our body cells against harmful influences such as pollution and sunlight. In addition, they support digestion and contribute to healthy kidney function and fluid balance.
The juniper is a conifer native to Europe, Asia and America. This tree bears flowers and berries at the same time, which can be green and black. The name Juniperus is derived from the Celtic word 'juneprus', meaning rough, prickly or bitter, and 'communis' meaning plain. Since ancient times, the berries have been used by Greeks and Romans for their health benefits.

Feverfew, also known as Tanacetum parthenium or "feverfew," is a valuable herb that has been valued in traditional medicine for centuries. This aromatic perennial plant, native to southwestern Europe, has a rich history of supporting women's health, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth. Historically, feverfew was used to induce labor and treat puerperal fever, which explains the origin of its name.
The plant is also known for its antipyretic properties and is still grown in herb gardens for this purpose. One of the most notable uses of feverfew is in the treatment of migraines.

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum), also known as milk thistle or milk thistle, is a spiny plant native to the Mediterranean region, but which also grows in our area. It belongs to the composite family. Milk thistle has been used for centuries as a natural remedy to support liver and bile function. It can be used as part of a cleansing regimen to assist the liver in the detoxification process.
The seeds of milk thistle contain silymarin, a powerful antioxidant. Silymarin stimulates the liver in the natural detoxification process and thus supports liver function.

Gunpowder (zhūchá) is a Chinese green tea that gets its name from the grey-green, tightly rolled leaves that are reminiscent of 18th century gunpowder. Another possible explanation is that "freshly brewed" sounds like *gun-pao-da* in Chinese.
When steeped in hot water, the leaves unfold, giving the tea its characteristic grassy and sometimes smoky flavour.
In China, this tea is also known as pearl tea (珠茶). Gunpowder is mainly produced in the Ningbo region and is one of the most popular Chinese export teas. Nowadays, the balls are rolled by machine, except for the higher quality varieties, which are still made by hand.
