Juicy, ripe blackberries impart a pleasantly sweet taste and soften the crisp flavor of kombucha. Lemon balm offers light, citrus notes to highlight the berry foundation. This unique combination encourages me, and prepares me to handle everything I have scheduled for today. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
Blackberries
- support a healthy cardiovascular system (antioxidant anthocyanin protects against heart disease)
- rich in vitamin C, manganese (plays an important role in brain function), and potassium
- help prevent tumor growth and the spread of cancer
- improve motor and cognitive function (provide a protective effect on the brain)
- powerful anti-inflammatory protects against arthritis and gastric conditions
Lemon Balm
- excellent for treating anxiety, depression, and even insomnia (has been said to powerfully chase away melancholy and relieve languishing)
- uplifts the mood, reduces agitation, and increases alertness
- calming and helps with hyperactivity in children (and also with colicky babies)
- reduces fevers
- antiviral properties help high blood pressure, shingles, and viral infections
- strengthens the memory and brain (an independent measure found a significant increase in the speed of mathematical processing, with no reduction in accuracy)
- renews youth, relieves pain and tension
