As parents we want our children to grow up with the skills and virtues of empathy, compassion, respect, and love for our environment.
But how do we manage to teach them these values in today’s world when our children are bombarded with indoctrinated messages from the media, peer groups and other outside influences?
The Herb Chronicles – Adventures with Freyja is your secret weapon!
How will the Herb Chronicles help improve your child?
1. When fussy eaters can choose their own, healthy ingredients, they are more willing to eat it. This is especially true if they know the benefits and have grown their own herbs and vegetables.
2. Children take pride in things that they make themselves. Feel the excitement when they start making things with their knowledge of healing herbs! It builds amazing self-confidence and is great for the soul.
3. Education and understanding is a powerful persuader. When children interact with and understand the food they eat (and realize the time and effort involved) they are much happier to eat it.
4. The puzzles were designed to test their comprehension and learn new words. They need fun stimulation to develop their brains. Bonding time is also created.
5. These books will teach them about complex issues like acceptance and empathy, and how to react to certain real-life situations as part of their moral development.
6. When children develop their imagination, they learn to think outside of the box. This is a crucial skill for problem-solving in real life.
7. Children develop resilience by seeing characters make mistakes. When the characters correct their mistakes and get right up again, it teaches them to bounce back from setbacks.
8. Develop your child’s senses: touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight, by helping them discover the real plants in your herb garden. You don’t need to have a large space for planting. Even watching plants growing in a window sill will do!
9. You can transfer your passion for natural, healthy and holistic living to your children in a FUN way!

Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS)

Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), a complex sugar derived from plants, is widely used in Japan in more than 450 different food products. Unlike the refined sugar, FOS is actually good for you. In fact, it offers so many health benefits that it is now being marketed as a nutritional supplement. Also known as neosugar or inulin, FOS is abundant in Jerusalem artichokes and is found in smaller amounts in many different fruits and vegetables.

Flavonoids

More than 4,000 flavonoids (or bioflavonoids, as they are sometimes called on supplement labels) have been identified, and scientists suspect that there may be many more still to be discovered in nature. Flavonoids give color to fruits, vegetables, and herbs and are found in legumes, grains, and nuts as well. They are also potent antioxidants some are even more powerful than vitamin C or vitamin E in preventing cell damage caused by unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals). So far only a few flavonoids have been investigated for their healing potential.

Boron

The trace mineral boron is necessary for facilitating and boosting the rate of absorption for other minerals in the bodynamely the mineral calcium, the mineral magnesium and phosphorus. The loss of these minerals through the urine is controlled and regulated by the mineral boron. The health of the bones is maintained by boron acting alongside the mineral calcium and the vitamin D – their combined action also prevents the onset of osteoporosis. Food sources that are rich in boron include raisins and almonds, prunes and all fruits in general. The boron content of meat and fish is very low. Boron is best supplied by diets which have plenty of fruits and vegetables, eating such foods offer the body protection against the onset of disorders like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, as well as problems like rheumatoid arthritis. No toxic effects have been evident from the consumption of boron in amounts normally found in supplements.
