Birch bark (betula lenta, sweet birch to be specific) has a flavor profile comparable to root beer. The notes are woody, wintergreen, sassafras, molasses, and make a sort of "cola," flavor. 

Birch bark tea has been used historically to relieve stomach pain and and reduce cold symptoms, sweat out fevers, and help move out bowel obstructions. The wintergreen aroma and flavor comes from the natural methyl salicylate that functions like aspirin for soothing sore muscles, joint pain, and conditions like rheumatism.  Birch bark also helps flush the urinary tract and helps the kidneys with detoxing.

Maca is a root from the Peruvian Andes that has a nice malty flavor. It is used medicinally for energy, mood, libido, and reproductive health. They don't necessarily have a nutritional synergy between them, moreso their flavors come togeher very well for a spectacular dessert.
