  
Aristurtle is filled with echinacea and lavender. Echinacea is a native perennial whose mature rootstock is considered the medicinal part of the plant, long used by Native Americans as an immune system tonic. Echinacea is also an antimicrobial. Lavender is originally a Mediterranean shrub cultivated for its aromatic flowers. One of the queens of herbs, it relieves nervous tension headaches and insomnia.
Aristurtle is a little shorter in length than the other animals, (and of course rounder), so depending on the person whose face he is laying on he may not cover the eyes completely as do the other animals--something to take into account as you choose your Herbal Animal!
