Jell-o is a favorite treat to some people, especially kids, but did you know it’s medicinal? It’s not used medicinally, but it does have medicinal traits. Gelatin and pectin, for example, prevent obesity and control diabetes.

Medicinal jellies have been used in traditional medicine and have evolved into many forms, including what is popularly known now as gummies. Jelly is known to be more bioavailable to the human body by bypassing the first-pass metabolism, which is one reason it’s a popular application in the pharmaceutical world.

Chinese Traditional Medicine has used herbal medicinal jellies for many purposes, but mostly, overall health. Using any of these jellies will help your body in more ways than one, but each uses an herb that will help a specific body part.

Brain

The blue in blueberries is what makes it beneficial to our brain. There are flavonoids in blueberries known as anthocyanins that provide them with their bright blue color and their neuroprotective properties. The anthocyanins help protect brain cells from damage caused by free radicals, and they help reduce inflammation in the brain. Blueberries are also highly antioxidant, which helps improve the blood flow to the brain and improves functionality.

To make a Blueberry Jelly, make your own blueberry juice (or purchase premade) and replace the herbal infusion in the recipe below with blueberry juice. Use the blueberry scraps from your homemade juice as a jelly topper!

Blueberries are great for protecting your brain, but if you already feel brain fog creeping in, you need more than prevention. You need regeneration. That’s where Lion’s Mane shines. This powerful mushroom boosts nerve growth factor (NGF), helping to repair and regrow damaged brain cells, something no berry can do. If you can’t forage Lion’s Mane yourself, you can get it ready-made and highly potent from Nicole’s apothecary.

Hair

Fenugreek has miraculous properties that can support the health of your hair. It contains derivatives diosgenin, gitogenin and yamogenin, along with alkaloids, flavonoids, and vitamins that have proven to not only prevent hair loss, but make hair thicker, fuller, and stronger.

To make a Fenugreek Jelly, use the recipe below as a base. Make the herbal infusion by boiling 1 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in 5 cups of water for 5 minutes and steeping for another 5 minutes. You can also whisk 5-10 drops of fenugreek extract along with another tablespoon of fenugreek seeds into the jelly mixture.

Joints

Bone broth contains compounds that are highly nutritious to our body, specifically our joints. The liquid extracted from bone, bone broth, contains nutrients and amino acids such as glycine and proline, which our body uses to build collagen. Compounds like chondroitin and glucosamine are also provided, which enhance the natural chondroitin and glucosamine produced in healthy cartilage.

To make Bone Broth Jelly, simply boil 4 pounds of beef bones in water for 12-24 hours, adding water when the level gets low. In the end, you should have about 8 cups of broth, and by adding gelatin, you can make a stiffer jelly.

Heart

Rich in bioactive compounds, pomegranate is used to improve cardiovascular health. The polyphenols, specifically punicalagins, protect the heart from developing heart disease by eliminating oxidative stress and reducing inflammation in the heart. Pomegranate also helps prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries by keeping LDL cholesterol low, improving blood flow, and lowering blood pressure.

To make a Pomegranate Jelly, use the recipe below as a base and substitute the herbal infusion with pomegranate juice.

Gut

There is a specific jelly recipe for the gut, and it’s Kiwifruit Jelly with Chenpi (aged citrus peel). This specific recipe has been the subject of studies related to gut health and obesity. This jelly recipe has been shown to reduce inflammation in the gut and reduce oxidative stress levels. The phenolic compounds and insoluble fiber, along with the vitamins and minerals, in kiwifruit improve gut health. Chenpi is known to prevent obesity, hepatic steatosis, and modulate the gut microbiota.

Boil 10 grams of crushed chenpi in ¾ cup of water for 40 minutes and use it as your herbal infusion in the recipe below, and add the juice of 1 squeezed or pureed kiwifruit.

Blood

Grass Jelly is a famous medicinal dessert used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and health food practices. It is traditionally regarded as positively affecting our blood health and circulation. The plant Chinese Meona used to make grass jelly contains bioactive compounds like bisbenzylisoquinoline chlorophyll, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins that make it antibacterial and antioxidant. These compounds give Grass Jelly a cooling effect that helps cool down the insides of the body and provides energy to the blood.

To make grass jelly, make an herbal infusion by boiling either fresh Chinese Mesona leaves and stalks or grass jelly powder in 8 cups of water, reducing the heat and simmering for 2 to 12 hours.

Skin

Stinging nettle is an incredible source of vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to our skin. Vitamins like A, B-complex, C and K and minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and zinc can be found in the leaves of stinging nettle, which all help restore the cells of our skin.

For stinging nettle jelly, put 2 ounces of fresh stinging nettle leaves into 4 cups of cold water, bring it to almost boil, turn off the heat and let steep for up to 12 hours. Use this infusion as a substitute in the recipe below.

Stinging nettle is amazing for your skin, but let’s be honest, no one likes getting stung.
You can skip the harvesting and the 4–6 week infusion time and get the benefits right away with Nicole’s ready-made Stinging Nettle Tincture you can get from here.

A Jelly for Your Whole Body

We are going to make a jelly with jelly; Royal Jelly! Royal Jelly is one of the most medicinal natural foods available, and it’s produced by bees. Worker bees secrete a creamy liquid that they use to feed to the larvae and their queen. This liquid is known as Royal Jelly.

Royal Jelly has immense health benefits to humans, specifically women. According to many sources, it can regulate the physiological function of various systems and has been shown to have antiaging, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and neurotropic properties.

To give you an idea of how powerful Royal Jelly is, it consists of 50-60% water, 18% proteins, 15% carbs, 3-6% lipids, and 1.5% mineral salts and vitamins. Roughly 185 organic compounds have been found in royal jelly, including adenosine, acetylcholine, fatty acids, polyphenols, proteins, royalactin, and 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid. To add to all of that, hormones such as testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, and estradiol are also in Royal Jelly.

For women, Royal Jelly is beneficial for reproductive health and alleviating PMS or menopause symptoms. It helps to balance hormones, which, in turn, improves skin health.

The featured herb in this recipe is lemon balm; you’re welcome to choose any herb you find fit. This recipe may be tricky to make for some. The boiling is very important and should be kept at a hard boil while keeping it from bubbling over. Also, the less sugar you use, means a longer boiling time and the liquid will reduce more.

You can definitely use fresh or dried lemon balm in this recipe, just like it says. But if you want your jelly to pack real strength, consider swapping it with a lemon balm tincture instead.

Tinctures extract both the water- and alcohol-soluble compounds from the plant, making them far more potent than a basic infusion.

All you need is 40 drops of the Lemon Balm Tincture to replace the herb entirely, and your jelly just went from soothing… to powerful.

👉 Grab the Lemon Balm Tincture here if you want to take this recipe to the next level.

To make this recipe, you will need a pot, a whisk, and final containers for use. You can either put this into canning jars for spreading or into a dish to cut into cubes.
