Blue butterfly pea flower – health benefits
I fell in love with the color of the tea before I knew about any health benefits!!! The blue/purple shades are so beautiful. When steeped in boiling water the tea has a unique strong blue color and when adding lemon, it changes the PH levels and the color becomes bright purple and even pink! The taste is also pleasant in my opinion.
Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as butterfly pea, is a perennial herbaceous plant from the Fabaceae family.
Let’s take a deeper look into the benefits of using this amazing plant:
- Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Very high in ternatins (anthocyanidin antioxidants), which are responsible for the amazing color, the butterfly pea flowers are known to help with inflammation and prevent unhealthy cell proliferation by disrupting their cell membrane. It contains other healing antioxidants as kaempferol (helps against unhealthy cells proliferation) p-coumarin acid (anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antiviral) and myrtillin, another anthocyanidin: 3-glucoside of delphinidin (immune function).
- Brain support
The flower has been grown and consumed South East Asia for centuries for brain support, anxiety, depression, as a memory enhancer, calming and soothing tea and it even has anti-stress properties. All those benefits are thanks to a compound called acetylcholine which is essential for brain health.
- Eyesight support
This amazing flower has high levels of proanthocyanidins that are a blessing for tired eyes, prevent damage of the eyes and retina, enhance night vision, may help with blurred vision because are increasing the blood flow to the eyes.
- Reproductive support
The butterfly pea tea was shown to be helpful for problems with menstruation and different vaginal discharges and aiding with sperm production as well. As an anecdote, in Indian villages, in old times, women were wearing the root of this plant toward the end of the pregnancy to help them deliver the babies safely.
- Blood sugar
A study with 15 men drinking tea made from this flower showed increased antioxidant levels and reduced blood sugar and insulin levels. Similar results were recorded in a study was done on rats, comparing the levels to that of a control group.
- Skin health
Topically, the Butterfly Pea flower tea (or in a clean natural cream) has been shown to increase skin hydration by 70% within an hour after application, according to studies. Due to antioxidants, polyphenols and flavonoids it stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. The flower has anti-glycation properties that are known to keep the skin younger looking. It is helpful with skin irritation, redness itching and allergies.
- Hair health
The anthocyanins in the flower are increasing the blood flow to the scalp and strengthen the hair follicles, resulting in healthy hair growth and naturally reducing the grey hair.
- Digestive support
Butterfly Pea flower’s anti-inflammatory properties sooth the stomach, helping with nausea and indigestion. The flower has anthelminthic properties helping to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and parasites. It stimulates the flow of the bile, which may help with elimination.
- Diuretic
Butterfly Pea flower encourages healthy urination which helps releasing waste from the body and it may help with weight management.
- Respiratory health
The anti-inflammatory properties help reduce the lungs irritation and other respiratory organs. It drains the excess fluid which helps with colds, coughs and sinus challenges. A study from 2018 (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29787795/) indicates that this tea is helpful in managing asthma and allergies.
- Fighting disease
Butterfly Pea is one of the few plants that produce a specific peptide called cyclotides (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6546959/). Evidence shows that cyclotides and toxic to cancer cells and fight against HIV and other diseases. This peptide paired with the anti-inflammatory, anti- bacterial, anti-microbial and increased blood flow throughout the body makes this beautiful flower a great ally against any disease.
- Agriculture use
Butterfly Pea plant is used as a fodder and nitrogen fixing crop and as a source of an eco-friendly organic insecticide. The cyclotides present in every tissue of this plant are very potent in keeping the unwanted insects away in a healthy natural way from our crops.
- Transformation
The popular name of this plant, butterfly, is a great metaphor to what is happening within us when we use it. It is amazing to witness the transformation in color of the tea when adding lemon and changing the PH. But to witness the change in our body, from the brain function improvement, more focus, calm and presence, the release of what is not needed anymore, the flow improvement (blood, lymph) it is almost miraculous, helping us to exhibit our innate capabilities, beauty and light.
Empowering people toward a healthier, more harmonious and happier life!

Fulvic versus shilajit
Shilajit comes from rock formations and contains a small amount of fulvic acid and humic acid. Because it comes from a fossilized source it’s harder to extract. Chemicals are then used to extract from the rock formation and end up in the product making it not only less bioavailable but also adding toxins into the body. Shilajit is an inorganic source and harder to absorb in the body which is why you often need more to see results. People often state they can purchase a higher concentration cheaper, but you will need to take much more to have the same affect.
Fulvic it has enzymes and it is more bioavalable. With a small dose, it’s very potent because it’s organic and pure. Always ask for COA (Certificate of analysis)
The English name for shilajit is bitumen. Not a safe substance to ingest in my experience. I found this video about the extraction of shilajit and that is enough for me to never put it in my body or ever recommend to my clients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMOc6LE7CZM
To be continued.

How to do Fulvic Foot soak
Tools:
- Container (ideally glass – like Pyrex casserole big enough for the feet to fit
in, I use plastic though to make sure is not breaking) - 1/8 teaspoon measuring
- Fulvic acid
I use Medium Plastic Storage Bin w/ Handles White from Container store, SKU 10071295, Dimensions: 13-1/16″ x 9-1/2″ x 5-9/16″ h
How to:
- Fill up the bin with hot (as hot as you can handle) water for about 2 inches so it will be room for
your feet in there as well - Set the bin with water in a comfortable place where you can enjoy 20-30 min
- Put 1/8 teaspoon fulvic powder (or 10 drops in case you use liquid) in the water
and let it dissolve a little bit - Put your feet in the bin, ideally the feet will be in the water at least to the ankle
bone - Soak for 20 minutes at the beginning
- When finish wipe feet with a paper towel and even better, rinse with clean water
- Discard the water in a safe place (toilet or outside) away from edible plants or pets
- Ideally the first 2 weeks do a foot soak every day, next 2 weeks every other day
and continue for maintenance twice a week. Personally, I did it once a day for
a couple months (I have a lot of radioactive material and heavy metals to remove).
This little routine helped me go from being so weak that I couldn’t walk for 5 minutes, to hiking for couple hours in a matter of few months.

How to use PrimaSkin
My extensive wellness experience over the years and since 2019 Face Zonology taught me that our face is an amazing tool to see the health state of all our organs, glands and systems in the body. Every wrinkle is a message, it is valuable info about what is going on in the body.
Using the hydrastat nano technology glutathione PrimaSkin on our face exponentially increases the efficacy of using Swish30 internally as it supports our body through the signals on the face.
Recommended usage by manufacturer for improved appearance and hydration:
- Spray: Hold sprayer about 8″ from your face and spritz all over. It can be done before or after applying makeup
- Let it dry: Air dry assures best results without rubbing it in
- Repeat: Repeat at least twice a day
Recommended usage for extra support:
- General: spritz 3-5 times a day on the face, neck, chest, arms, back of the palms and skin areas that you want to improve. Use it profusely on clean skin minimum twice a day
- Extra support: spritz as often as you can the belly button area, as it is an area with fast access to the blood stream
- Hair support: spritz at the base of the hair, on the scalp, at least twice a day.
- Liver support: after shower and before going to bed spritz on the liver area
- Visible veins: use 2-3 times a day
- Breast discomfort from hormonal imbalance: apply as needed and let it air dry
- Vision support: spritz over the eyes while blinking, no makeup
- Discolored skin from scabs: spritz as needed
- Stings from insects: use as needed on the affected area
- Bone support: in case of weak bones, spritz the area 2-3 times a days for chronic imbalance and 5-6 times a day for acute situations.
It may be beneficial for other aspects as well so feel free to experiment.
Primaskin and Swish30 are sold solely through health practitioners, spas or gyms. Contact for more info: text at 650 248 0401.

Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in maintaining health and believe it or not, over 80% of Americans are deficient. In fact, Studies have shown that the overall population is experiencing a raise in blood pressure due to lack of magnesium. 
Magnesium is necessary to transfer energy from protein to allow the muscle to contract. Magnesium also helps keep blood pressure down.
It is magnesium with an ionic bond to water that makes for far superior absorption. 
It is the Angstrom process that makes it different.
Cell ready
While all of these other forms of magnesium require digestion and thus the opportunity for magnesium overload, or DIARRHEA, 
our angstrom magnesium is absorbed sublingual and thus bypasses digestive tract issues. 
Any cell it touches can absorb it. Thus, it absorbs into every cell it touches.
Bio available
Several definitions exist for nutrient bio availability, but broadly it refers to the proportion of a nutrient that is absorbed from the diet and used for normal body functions.
HBN angstrom magnesium is 99.9% bio available (or pure elemental mineral). No fillers, colors, flavors or other absorption stopping ingredients.

Pentru scaderea in greutate
Scopul nu e sa infometezi organismul, corpul nu va utiliza de buna voie resursele de grasime din organism pentru ca grasimea aceea e plina de toxine. Scopul e sa scoti toxinele si sa echilibrezi hormonii. Nu exista grasa si sanatoasa. Daca acumulam grasime inseamna ca organismul e dezechilibrat. Trebuie luate masuri privitor la ce mancam (fara produse din grau, oua, lactate, cafea, alcool, produse cu zahar rafinat, soia, fasole), trebuie luate masuri privitor la cand mancam (mic dejun la maxim o ora dupa ce ne trezim, cina nu mai tarziu de 19), exercitiu (nu chinuitor ci placut) si trebuie scoase toxinele (plasturi de detoxificare pentru picioare, pentru abdomen, bai de picioare,i bai cu sare amara, sauna cu infrarosu). O dieta care ajuta ficatul: mere, sparanghel, ridiche neagra, ridiche rosie, andive, anghinare, gulii, urzica etc.

Soy
Soy has a tendency to block the absorption of essential minerals. It is high in phytates and phytates bind to minerals like zinc, calcium, iron and magnesium and make them unavailable for you.Soy also contains high levels of goitrogens. Goitrogens are compounds that inhibit the thyroid’s ability to utilize iodine correctly which could lead to hypothyroid problems. Thyroid problems are very much prevalent today.
All soy, not only processed. The only one that we can have rarely would be soy that was fermented at least 6 weeks. But it still clouds the lymph and has high levels of phytoestrogen. The safest is to stay away. Beans are not as far as we would like from soy…
