Stage 2 - Pain & Guilt

Just as the shock begins to fade, the pain sets in. This stage is when the reality of the loss sets in. The pain may be extremely difficult to handle, and it may feel physical as well as emotional. You may even start to feel guilty about something you could or should have done for the person (even if it's illogical). 

Remember, grief is not linear. Progress is full of ups and downs.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

At East starts with peppermint, prized as a digestive aid by Native Americans for millennia. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, peppermint "calms the muscles of the stomach and improves the flow of bile, which the body uses to digest fats." At Ease also incorporates cinnamon, cardamom, lemon balm and ginger, a collection of herbs said to aid digestion, by Ayurvedic practitioners. Rounding out the blend are antioxidant rich licorice, fennel and Burdock root, all considered to be digestive powerhouses by adherents of traditional medicine. 

At Ease

Heart to Toes starts with a dose of turmeric (Latin: Curcuma longa), long prized by Indian Ayurvedic practitioners and regarded as one of the most effective natural antidotes to stiff, sore joints. Fennel, another of the herbal components has also long been thought to ease the joints, (and adds a licorice-like flair to the blend.) Not to be outdone, we've also included Burdock Root, another noted joint reliever thanks to fatty oils that deliver an anti-inflammatory boost. 

Heart to Toes

Eucalyptus is widely used as a natural cold remedy and is a common ingredient in cold and cough products. Some research

has shown that eucalyptus relieves cold symptoms like cough frequency, nasal congestion, and headache by decreasing inflammation and mucus buildup.
