Have you heard about nettle leaf?

Nettle leaf is a nutrient-rich herb that has been used for generations to support overall wellness—especially during seasonal transitions. Rich in iron, calcium, magnesium & vitamins A, C, and K, it has a smooth, mild yet earthy taste similar to spinach or green tea.

How to Use
Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried nettle leaf in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Enjoy as a daily tea, or add to blends, smoothies, or soups for an extra mineral boost.

Benefits
• Supports healthy hair, skin & nails
• May help ease seasonal allergies
• Supports urinary tract & kidney health
• Gently nourishing for energy and overall vitality
• Used for joint health

Safety
• Do not use if pregnant
• Nursing women, and children should consult a healthcare provider before use

⚠️ Precautions
• May interact with blood pressure, blood sugar, or diuretic medications (so if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney disease consult a doctor before using)
• Can act as a mild diuretic—stay hydrated

Available in-store—stop by Zen & Now Wellness to shop for nettle leaf.

Do you know the benefits of cacao? Cacao is the pure, minimally processed form of chocolate—rich, earthy, and packed with nutrients your body will love.

Benefits include:
• High in antioxidants to help fight inflammation
• Supports heart health & healthy blood flow
• Naturally boosts mood (thanks to magnesium + feel-good compounds)
• May improve focus and energy without the crash
• Rich in iron, magnesium, and fiber

Who Can Use It:
Cacao powder is generally safe for most adults and can be enjoyed daily in moderate amounts.
• Children: Safe in small amounts (keep in mind it contains natural caffeine-like compounds)
• Pregnant/Nursing: Best used in moderation—check with your healthcare provider if unsure
• Sensitive to caffeine: Start slow, as cacao can be stimulating

How to Use
• Blend into smoothies or protein shakes
• Stir into warm milk for a nourishing hot chocolate
• Add to coffee for a mocha twist
• Mix into oatmeal, yogurt, or overnight oats
• Use in baking and homemade goods

Pro Tip: Pair cacao with a natural sweetener like honey, dates, or maple syrup to balance its slightly bitter taste.

Rich, grounding, and indulgent— Cacoa is now available at Zen & Now Wellness in an organic powder form and in an organic chaga cacao chai herbal tea blend.

Hello Zen & Now Wellness family! If seasonal allergies have you dealing with congestion, cough, or irritated airways, mullein might be the gentle herbal support your body needs.

Mullein has a light, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor and been used for generations to support respiratory health and is especially helpful when pollen levels are high.

Benefits of Mullein:
• Supports clear, open airways
• Helps soothe dry, irritated throats
• Encourages the body to expel excess mucus
• May ease coughing and chest tightness
• Naturally calming to inflamed respiratory tissues

Who Can Use It?
Mullein is generally considered a gentle herb for most people when used appropriately.

• Pregnant or nursing?: There isn’t enough reliable research to confirm safety—always consult your healthcare provider before use.

• Children: Often used in small, appropriate amounts, but it’s best to check with a pediatrician or herbal professional first.

How to Prepare Mullein Tea (Loose Leaf):
• Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried mullein leaf to a tea infuser or directly into a cup
• Pour 8 oz of hot water over the herbs
• Cover and let steep for 10–15 minutes
• Strain thoroughly using a fine mesh strainer or cloth (this is important to remove the tiny hairs)
• Enjoy 1–3 cups daily as needed during allergy season

Available In-Store:
