Maca

Maca(Lepidium meyenii) Maca is a root that is sometimes referred to as Peruvian Ginseng because of its similar medicinal properties and benefits, though it is not of the gingseng family. It grows in high altitudes of the Andes and has been cultivated by the Andean people for thousands of years. Maca has energizing and invigorating qualities and can be used to treat symptoms associated with anemia, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, though it is most commonly touted for its aphrodisiac qualities as it boosts fertility and libido in both men and women. Like ginseng, it is also known to improve memory and cognitive function. You can use the maca root to brew drinks or it can be ground into a powder that you can mix into smoothies or food. The root can also be baked or roasted and eaten with other food.

Andean Pink Salt(Sal De Maras) Pink Salt comes from an ancient ocean, trapped underground, which feeds a spring located 10,000 feet high in the Andes Mountains in Maras, Peru. The warm spring water seeps into terraced ponds located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The ponds, which have been hand-harvested for over 2,000 years, are now owned by individual families, who, after harvesting, load the salt on the backs of burros for the long descent into town. Peruvian Pink Sea Salt is very pale pink and has a rich, complex, minerally flavor. It contains magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc, which can help conditions such as stress, anemia and osteoporosis. The sal de Maras is known as the healthiest and most nutritious salt on the planet, and can only be found in the Andes and the Himalayas. Health benefits of this mineral powerhouse include: It can help stabilize and regulate the heartbeat, thanks to its magnesium and sodium content. Its sodium is essential for proper muscular function. Good quality salt helps minimize the effects of stress by maintaining proper melatonin, serotonin, and tryptamine levels in the brain. It helps remove cellular acidity, especially in the brain and kidneys and it helps prevent osteoporosis. It provides a buffer for blood sugar levels to help prevent diabetes or to help those who are diabetic use less insulin. It provides iodine in a natural setting, making it easier for your thyroid to absorb it and to regulate the endocrine system.
