Peach leaf is for the tissue states of heat and excitation…inflammation, irritability, restlessness, overreaction. They cool hot bodies and temper bubbling rage. Brings ease to allergies of all kinds, anxious tummies, bug bites. May help folks struggling with insomnia.

Peach, shines brightest for nausea…morning sickness, heat nausea, the miserable aftermath of a long night. Especially where Ginger, with their warming quality, would only make things worse. Peach is a safe and reliable remedy for children, too. Try them for the cranky, overheated kid and watch the transformation.
