In our recent newsletter (if you don't receive our fantastic and not-too-frequent newsletter make sure to use the sign up form at the bottom of this page) we discussed how Stakich products can keep you healthy through the changing seasons. I love to incorporate Ginseng when cooking because it is a powerhouse of health & wellness!
This soup is a take on a traditional Chinese soup, and is great to make when you feel a cold or flu coming on, as Ginseng is a potent immune booster and enables the body to better handle stress.

1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Pepper
Directions

While both come from the same hardworking honeybees, the differences in processing, scent, and color can drastically change the outcome of your project. In this guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of yellow beeswax vs. white beeswax so you can choose the perfect match for your needs.
Unlike regular honey, raw honey is not exposed to high heat or heavy filtration, which helps preserve its nutritional value and health benefits. It may also contain bee pollen and propolis, which further enhance its medicinal properties.
Natural wellness solutions are gaining popularity as more people look for ways to support their health using ingredients from nature. One bee product that has recently gained attention in the health world is bee propolis. Known as the hive’s natural defense system, propolis has been used for centuries for its protective and wellness-supporting properties. But what is bee propolis, and why are so many people adding it to their daily wellness routine?
Not every jar, bottle, or bag is as good as it looks. A lot of the big-name stuff you see online? It’s been over-processed or blasted with heat, which zaps the natural enzymes. Some of it’s been watered down with syrups or other fillers. Sometimes, it just sits around too long and loses its freshness and flavor. When shortcuts get taken, you end up with products that don’t taste right and don’t give you the real benefits.
