Theme: Rethinking How to Take the “Herbs” Your Body Truly Needs
Hello, this is ＜Ohana Fantasia＞.
Have you heard of Ricola, the classic Swiss herbal candy?
It has been loved for decades and is crafted from a unique blend of 13 carefully selected herbs.
Over the years, Ricola has expanded its lineup with variations such as mint and cranberry, making it a timeless favorite across all generations.
The brand originated in 1940—an 80-year-long heritage of herbal craftsmanship.
For example, the cranberry version combines the traditional 13-herb extract with a concentrated syrup made from lingonberries (cranberries), a European-origin berry cultivated in North America.
Lingonberries were once used medicinally by Native American communities—a reminder of a healing culture rooted not in “manufacturing” medicine, but in “discovering” it.
A philosophy very much aligned with natural medicine.
The 13 herbs that make Ricola’s signature blend are:
・Horehound
・Burnet
・Speedwell
・Mallow
・Lady’s Mantle
・Elder
・Marshmallow
・Peppermint
・Sage
・Yarrow
・Cowslip
・Plantain
・Thyme
Cowslip is so rare in the wild that harvesting is restricted to protect the species.
Herbs have long been valued as natural remedies, and today you can even enjoy sugar-free options—making herbal wellness even easier to incorporate into daily life.
Even if you don’t grow herbs at home, simply enjoying a herbal candy now and then can soothe the throat and gently relax the mind.
I personally grow peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and garden sage.
To be honest, it’s less “cultivating” and more “trying not to let them die” (laughs).
Tear off a leaf and chew it, and the flavor opens up beautifully. They work great in teas and salads, too.
The true charm of herbs lies in their aroma and flavor—sensory healing that quietly resets your mood.
In a world where stress builds easily, adding a touch of natural herb power to your routine can make your body and mind feel surprisingly lighter.
