Red window shades and green plants outside stand out from the rest of the street view of Oktovriou, a street in Tripoli, Greece. The bright colors are almost demanding you to step in the store. I promise you, once you go in you won't regret it. You're welcomed by the kind and friendly owner, Alexandra, and you can smell the mix of fresh herbs, spices and essential oils. It's almost like you've entered to a wonderland. Well, a wonderland for people who love spices, herbs, superfoods, and everything natural. In addition, getting in to this wonderland is way easier than using the underground passage.

The name of the store, Φυσικά (Fisika), is Greek and with my Greek language skills and the help of Google Translator, it means "naturally". The kindhearted owner, Alexandra, founded the company two years ago. Before that she worked at a small store with traditional herbs located in a small village called Vytina that's about 20 minutes away from Tripoli. What made her to found a company of her own and Φυσικά was the desire to help people with their health issues through natural products and find cures to regular health issues, such as, headache, blood pressure, and heart problems.

Fysika has more than 150 different herbs. Yes, you read right, 150, and Alexandra has tried each one of them. So she knows what she's talking about. What you don't find from here, you most likely don't need it, or it doesn't exist.

If you aren't  familiar with herbs or superfoods, or you aren't a spirulinagreeniefoodieyogiguru, then there's no need to be sad. You're still more then welcome to the store. Alexandra will introduce you to the products and give the best instructions or recipes with whatever herbs, spice, or superfood you're interested in.

 I was lucky enough (and you too, you awesome readers) to get to share with you one of her recipes. This recipe includes Ceylon Cinnamon, that is know as the "true cinnamon". In addition to many other health benefits that ceylon cinnamon has, this recipe will boost your metabolism, help to loose weight and lowers blood sugar.
