I get emails from people
saying, “ I just bought (fill in the blank) bulk herb, what do I do
with it?” Using bulk herbs is a great way to save money, but it is a
good idea to know how you are going to use bulk herbs before you
purchase them. Here are some of the ways that I use bulk herbs.
Powdered herbs are easy
to capsulize and you can save the most money capsulizing single
herbs. Sixteen ounces of powder will fill about 1500 “0” sized capsules. I find that the “00”
are easier for me to hold and get into the little capsule
machine. A pound of powder will fill about 1000 “00” capsules. In
the photo I have just capsulized twenty-four Kava Kava. I like to keep Kava Kava in my
night stand, it is a great one for relaxing to get to sleep, especially
helpful when my muscles are sore.
Another way I use
powdered herbs is mixed in with my Jurassic
Green. To my fresh squeezed orange juice, I add Maca Root which
contains over 55 naturally occurring, beneficial phyto-chemicals
including important hormonal precursors and sterols. It is a mood and
energy level booster and great for both men and women. Acai is a little
purple berry packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and Omega
essential fatty acids. Its antioxidant levels outranks nearly every
other food on the planet, including; pomegranates, blueberries, and
goji berries and sure helps the taste of my concoction. Ginkgo is good for
mental function and blood circulation. Calc Tea is Herbal Calcium, I
buy the mix your own
formula and mix them all together and re-bag and remark the mylar
bag the herbs come in. The mix your own formula kit is a great way to
get your Herbal Calcium - one kit will make 3.5 lbs of powder which
lasts my husband and I six months. My morning drink tastes fine
to me and it is a great way to get more nutrition into my body.
Making a single herb
extract is easy and something that I do quite often. Alcohol is the
best way to preserve the medicinal value of the herbs and the extracts
stay good for many years. Pictured I have Black Walnut and Pau D’Arco that I
had left over from my Candida
Cleanse a while back. Black Walnut is an herb Dr. Christopher
recommends for people that have problems with fungus or tumors and
cysts. Black Walnut is high in potassium and people get tumors and
cysts when they are low in potassium. Pau D’Arco kills bacteria, fungi,
viruses, and parasites. Green Tea is a
powerful anti-oxidant that inhibits the growth of cancer cells, and
kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. The last one is the Elderberry extract,
Elderberry is a well known immune booster, flu and virus fighter, as
well as being high in potassium. Now would be a perfect time to get
Elderberry going to have some ready for winter!
To make an alcohol extract use 16 oz. of Vodka per 4 oz. of dried herb. Put it in a glass jar with a lid and shake it three times a day for 2 weeks. I cover it with a towel to keep the light out. Strain it and put it in a glass jar, marking what it is and when you made it. It will be good for many years, indefinitely if kept in a cool dark place. We have empty amber bottles available 1 oz. 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz. sizes very reasonably priced.
Another way to use bulk cut herbs is to make a tea. Add a teaspoon of
bulk herb of choice to a cup of water. Boil the water and then pour it
over the herbs. Steep for ten to fifteen minutes, strain, sweeten if
desired. I got this great little french press for Christmas one year
and love it. It makes 4 cups of tea, the plunger is up when making the
tea and then push it down to keep the herb from getting into the tea.
Love it and you can buy one just about anywhere!
Bulk herbs are 5% off for August, there is very little mark-up in bulk herbs, so 5% off is a big deal! We have so many bulk herbs it takes 22 web pages to list them all. Many herbs are available in both cut and powder, 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz sizes. They come in reclosable mylar bags.

It is definitely more affordable to buy essential herbs in bulk. I just learned about capsulizing and used oregano for my first try.
