We recommend you read upon the claimed health benefits but here is a summary of the most commonly discussed benefits of the ingredients we blend together in our Flower Petal Salt:

Rose: Rose petals are mildly sedative, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory. They are a good supportive tonic for the heart. They can stimulate the liver and increase circulation.

Marigold: Supports skin healing, contains natural antiseptic/anti-inflammatory properties, comprises precursors to the production of antioxidant Vitamin A. It not only controls oxidative damage from free radicals that can affect delicate tissues, such as those of the eyes, but also defend against infections caused by viruses or bacteria.

Cornflower: People take cornflower tea to treat fever, constipation, water retention, and chest congestion. They also take it as a tonic, bitter, and liver and gallbladder stimulant. Women take it for menstrual disorders and infections.

Lavender:  Lavender works as an anxiolytic (an anxiety reliever) and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep. Lavender interacts with the neurotransmitter GABA to help quiet the brain and nervous system activity, reducing agitation, anger, aggression, and restlessness. Lavender functions as a pain reliever, or analgesic, has anti-bacterial capabilities and can reduce inflammation.

Beetroot powder: In addition to vitamins and minerals, beet root powder contains nitrates. Dietary nitrate helps improve vascular function, or healthy blood flow. Beetroot provides a wide range of possible health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure, improving digestion, and lowering the risk of diabetes.It may help fight inflammation, support brain health and may have some anti-cancer properties.

Celtic Sea Salt: Celtic salt is collected from sea shores around Brittany and dried in the sun and wind. It is grey and moist, loaded with minerals and is credited with health benefits such as lowering blood pressure and a calming effect on the nervous system.
