What's Happening at Island Natural


Here comes the rain... After a few days of bitter cold, snow and slush, we are happy to welcome some more traditional West Coast weather... rain, rain and more rain!

Herb of the Month: Gotu Kola

  

gotukolaGotu kola is widely used for both internal and external applications relating to anxiety, arthritis, insomnia, skin conditions and varicose veins. When taken internally, gotu kola improves circulation and promotes healthy blood vessel formation, which benefits varicose veins, stretch marks and thread veins. Gotu kola helps wound healing by preventing scar tissue formation and increasing the amount of antioxidants delivered to the wound site. This herb helps with nervous conditions such as anxiety and insomnia as well, in part due to its ability to increase GABA production in the brain. Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory conditions also respond well to Gotu kola.

 

Recipe of the Month: Cashew Curry
