Cranberry: Health Benefits
Cranberries are loaded with unique antioxidants and other phytonutrients that may protect against heart disease, cancer, and a variety of other diseases. Cranberries have also been shown to prevent or reduce urinary tract infections. The proanthocyanidins (PACS) in cranberries prevent the adhesion of certain bacteria, including E. coli to the urinary tract wall. The anti-adhesion properties of the cranberry may also inhibit the bacteria associated with gum disease and stomach ulcers.
Blackberry Leaf: Health Benefits:
Blackberry leaf is approved in Germany for treating mild inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. This makes it beneficial for relieving sore throat, mouth sores, and gum inflammation.

Raspberries are rich in phytonutrients, which provide many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The phytonutrients in raspberries help lower our risk of chronic diseases that are associated with chronic oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. These chronic diseases include obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. These same antioxidants have anti-cancer properties as well.

Apples’ strong antioxidant benefits are also related to their ability to lower the risk of asthma in numerous studies, and their ability to lower the risk of lung cancer.

The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40–90) gave to Althaea officinalis.
