Bay bean, scientifically known as Canavalia maritima, (also commonly referred to as beach bean, seaside bean, or coastal jackbean) is a tropical herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family, Fabaceae. It is native to coastal regions of the Americas, including parts of Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America.
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES
-
Anti-inflammatory: Bay bean contains compounds that are believed to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Traditionally, it has been used to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis. Some studies suggest that extracts of Canavalia maritima may exhibit anti-inflammatory activity, although further research is needed to confirm these effects and understand the underlying mechanisms.
-
Analgesic (Pain-relieving): The plant has been used traditionally as a pain reliever. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that bay bean may help alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle aches, and headaches. However, scientific studies confirming its analgesic effects are lacking.
-
Antioxidant: Bay bean contains antioxidants, which are compounds that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants play a role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases and slowing down the aging process. While the antioxidant activity of Canavalia maritima has been demonstrated in some studies, more research is needed to determine its effectiveness in humans.
-
Anti-diabetic: There is some evidence to suggest that bay bean may have potential anti-diabetic properties. Studies have shown that certain compounds found in Canavalia maritima may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. However, further research is required to elucidate the mechanisms of action and evaluate its efficacy and safety for managing diabetes.
-
Anti-microbial: Bay bean extracts have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and fungi in laboratory studies. This suggests that the plant may have potential as a natural antimicrobial agent. However, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of bay bean in treating infections in humans.
-
Traditional Uses: In addition to the aforementioned properties, bay bean has been traditionally used for various purposes, including promoting wound healing, reducing fever, and improving digestion. However, scientific evidence supporting these traditional uses is limited.

Fun and uplifting
I've read reviews that said this one made them relaxed but I found it energising, like a gentle mood lift that makes you feel a bit elated. Very fun to share with friends :D

Great Company, Fantastic Tea
I have just received the Horehound Tea I ordered. The shipping was so quick, and the packaging was awesome. I have only had one cup, but the tea is so good. I know I will be ordering different teas from your company. Oh, and the little gift was a very nice surprise. I look forward to trying the Love tea. Thank you .

Fun to experiment with
It definitely produces more vivid dreams though lucid dreaming is something that I'll have to practice— so keep in mind it's not a guarantee and the herb affects everyone differently! It seems to be mildly hallucinogenic which is fun too. Would also reccomend smoking this one instead of drinking it as tea because the flavor is extremely intense even when sweetened. On that note, this one had a different, less finely ground texture which made it burn very slowly and evenly (though it might've just been my batch since I noticed the same difference in texture in the other blends i ordered)

Oh my dream!
So, I am not really a smoker. I occasionally smoke cigars. I decided to order the pre rolled to see if its better than making a tea. I have the Mexican dream herb and when I tell you my night was like a movie! I did not smoke the whole thing, just a few puffs an hour before bed. I had wild vivid dreams. Things I cant imagine happened in my dreams. I really was amazed of where my mind went that night. It was like I was in an action thriller. I never have experienced a dream so wild. However after the first night I noticed that my dreams are never as intense as the first night. Nevertheless, I am amazed. I will be ordering more.

Egyptian Blue Lotus
I love this herb I felt drawn to it. I always wanted to drink or smoke blue lotus, it’s definitely connected to the third eye and crown chakra also ancient Egypt. I love how they are located in the same state as me so huge plus. Everything is organic and the effects was awesome very relaxing and calmed my mind so my soul could speak. It’s definitely aphrodisiac lol. I felt very positive and up lifted when I used it during a project I was working on. Great to use before bed also promotes good sleep and if you High Vibrational helps Spiritually. It’s overall great quality and quantity. I am grateful for the little wooden spoon they give a pre-ground sample blend. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite of the ones I have tried. Relaxes me but not so much that I want to nap. I recently chilled out on smoking smoking and this has helped so much! Just fill me up a paper and chill (:
