Dr. Christopher's Anti-Plague Formula, are you ready for the winter bugs?

Dr. Christopher's Super Garlic Immune Formula
Dr. Christopher’s famous Anti-Plague formula has been used by my family for over 25 years! The name has changed and at Herbs First we carry both Dr. Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula as well as Western Botanicals Immu-Defense formula in capsules and syrup. Both formulas are similar and work the same. This is the top selling winter formula because it stimulates the immune system and knocks out colds, flus and other “plagues”.  It also can be used as a tonic and preventive.

Western Botanical Immu Defense capsulesWhen my son was a toddler he would be sick for three weeks, well for two days and then start all over again with being sick for three weeks. I had a friend introduce me to the Anti Plague formula and I gave it to my son daily for a year. He was able to break out of the cycle as soon as we started him on it and became our healthy one! I like to make my own, which is about a one week process. You can learn how on the blog.  It's a lot of work but worth it if you need so save some money!

Order what you need while availability is high, as these formulas tend to run out when the plagues start going around! 

I love taking care of myself and my family with these great herbal formulas.

Ginger for travel, cramps and pain.

Western Botanicals Ginger Root capsules
    Ginger has been a great herbal choice for me. I started using it for motion sickness about ten years ago. Before that I had used the common over-the-counter drugs, but found that they made me very drowsy. When I switched to Ginger, I found that it worked better than the drug without the drowsiness. My husband and I went on a cruise earlier this year. This was our first cruise and we had no idea how we were going to do and were quite worried. We took our ginger and were just fine on the plane, ship and on the tours. Great for people of all ages!

    I used Ginger for menstrual cramps and found it to be much better than anything else I ever tried for cramps. Similar to travel sickness I found it best to start taking the Ginger before the cramps began. Then I could get through my whole period with no pain.

    Ginger is safe, effective and affordable and comes in capsules, bulk powder, cut, and extract.

Lung and Bronchial formula - are you breathing well?


Don & Kathryn biking    I have been struggling with coughing the last few months on my bike rides, and it got really bad with all the smoke from the fires that have been happening in the western part of the United States. I don’t know why I didn’t think to use Dr. Christopher’s Lung & Bronchial Formula, but when I finally did it cleared it up fast. I have had lung issues in the past and it always helped to keep them clear and strong. With breathing in the smoke lately and winter on its way I'm going to stay on Lung & Bronchial formula for a while to make sure my lungs stay strong.

Dr Christopher's LUng & Bronchial Formula    Lung & Bronchial formula contains herbs that have been used historically to help relieve irritation in the respiratory tract, lungs and bronchial system. This is an aid for emphysema as well as other bronchial and lung congestions such as bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, etc. This formula is extremely valuable in strengthening and healing the entire respiratory tract. It promotes the discharge of mucous secretions from the bronchopulmonary passages. Thus, it helps to clear the oxygen passageways. Dr. Christopher's Lung & Bronchial formula nourishes the lungs & supports the respiratory system. Available in capsules, extract and bulk as Resp-Free powder.

How to retain your hair color naturally!


Dr Christopher's Herb Lectures CDs    Dr. Christopher has the answer for most every problem and he happens to talk about retaining your hair color in the Herb Lectures CD’s.  Yarrow is the herb he talks about using as a hair rinse for people with blonde hair.  He tells the story of women he knew that had beautiful strawberry blonde hair that over the years turned white.  His friend came in one day to see him and her hair was back to being strawberry blonde. She quickly mentioned that she didn’t dye it, that she was reading over her notes about using the yarrow tea as a rinse to bring the color back and was so happy that it really worked! Dr. Christopher also mentions on the CD to use Rosemary tea for darker haired people.
Don and Kathryn Mechling   As I get older I work harder and harder at maintaining my health and looks. I have never liked the idea of dyeing my hair, I can’t stand the smell of the chemicals and don’t want them seeping into my body. About five years ago I decided that I would start using the Rosemary tea to see if I could maintain my hair color. I had some sparklies back then and I still have some sparklies in my hair but I think I have far less now than I did five years ago when I started using the rinse. This photo of my husband and I, Don is 61 and I just turned 58. I think you will agree that the Rosemary tea hair rinse is working!
   Making Rosemary or Yarrow hair rinse is easy. I take 8 oz of filtered water, throw in a heaping teaspoon of rosemary and bring it to a boil. I turn off the stove and let it steep for half the day, or whenever I get around to bottling it. I put it into an empty 8 oz BF&C Shampoo bottle, add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to it and put it in the shower. One batch lasts me a week. I don’t wash my hair every day, but do shower and wet my hiar and then put the rosemary tea on it. I rinse it out at the end of my shower and let my hair air dry. I love having a natural solution to a real life problem.

    Everyone loves samples, and if you have ordered in the last month or so you received some samples of Dr. Christopher’s most popular formulas. We have had some great feed back from customers who have tried them and liked them. We hope you will too!

Complete Tissue and Bone sample    Complete Tissue and Bone Formula capsules are always in supply at our house. You never know when you might need their healing goodness. This formula contains a synergistic combination of herbs for bones, flesh and cartilage. Bones play a major role in our body. They provide structure, protect organs and anchor muscles. Dr. Christopher's time-tested Complete Tissue & Bone Formula supports bones, skin, tissue, hair, nails, teeth & gums.
Lower Bowel Sample
    Lower Bowel Formula was designed to encourage the elimination of waste and assist the motor activity of the intestines in a natural way. In most cases, improper diet has caused the peristaltic muscles to become sluggish, and in some cases, to quit working. It will take six to nine months with the aid of the Lower Bowel Formula for the average individual to clean out the fecal matter and to rebuild the bowel structure sufficiently to have the peristaltic muscles working.

Mindtrac sample    Mindtrac contains a synergistic blend of whole herbs for optimum mental and emotional balance. Feeling sad, down, blue, not thinking straight and miserable are ways we may feel from time to time. Taking a natural approach for a chemical imbalance and to rid negative thoughts is essential, as whole herbs will not have the long-term side effects that many chemicals do. MindTrac formula supports brain function, properly assisting the body with delivering nutrients to the brain, aids in calming the nervous system and supports the body’s natural response to stress.

Vitalerbs Sample    Vitalerbs are a nature balanced whole food vitamin and mineral supplement for the body. Vitamins and minerals play a key role in boosting the immune system, growth and development, mental aptitude, physical fitness and in supporting the body’s systems.3 The market is flooded with standardized supplements, which extract leading active ingredients but Dr. Christopher's Vitalerbs is the ultimate whole-food formula, perfectly balanced the way Mother Nature intended.

Western Botanicals Formulas Available in Capsules and Liquid

Western Botanicals Immune Boost
    I love the fact that most of Western Botanicals Formulas come in both capsules and liquid. The capsules are vegetarian capsules and the liquid are alcohol extracts and syrups. How do you choose which form to take?? That depends on you, they all work equally as well.

    Capsules are great for people that can’t tolerate the taste of herbs. Not all liquid herbs taste bad, but some people just can’t get handle the thought of having to taste something so different, so stick with the capsules if this is the case. Capsules take about 15 to 20 minutes to dissolve, and once in the system they get right to work. The important part is to just take them and let them do their thing!

    Alcohol extracts are extracted into alcohol and will get into your system quickly. Alcohol extracts are a great choice for long-term storage, because they will keep indefinitely if kept in a cool dark place. They are going to taste hot due to the alcohol, so keep that in mind if you are giving them to pets or children who may not be able to handle the alcohol. If need be and you have alcohol extract, you could put it on the stove and bring it down by half and then add glycerin and maple syrup to it to make it into a syrup. I did this recently and it worked well.

    Many of Western Botanicals formulas are available in syrup and are preserved in glycerin and often with honey or maple syrup as an additional preservative and essential oils as a flavor enhancer. I have used quite a few of the syrups and they really do taste great. These are what I would use for children, pets, elderly people and anyone who can’t handle taking capsules. They get into the system quickly since they are liquid. Syrups have a shorter shelf life and I keep the syrups in the refrigerator to help them stay fresh longer. I would buy only what my family can use in a year or two, they are not for long-term storage.

    I love taking care of myself and my family with these great herbal formulas.

Three Squirts Resolves Month Long Laryngitis


Herbal Throat Soothe    I was talking to a friend at church the other day and noticed that she has quite a bad case of laryngitis. She said that it had been going on for a month and that three anti-biotics hadn’t done anything for it. When I got home I just couldn’t stop thinking about her, and knowing that I had something that could help I got out a new 1 oz. spray bottle and put some of Western Botanicals Herbal Throat Soothe in it and took it over to her. She asked if it tasted bad and I said it wasn’t too bad and to just give it a try.

    A few hours later I was got a facebook personal message: “I cannot believe this after a month of NO VOICE  three squirts later I have a voice. There is no way but it's true I woke up from a nap and came out and started talking. I stopped looked at Dale (her husband) and we both laughed and said no way. I can't thank you enough for the voodoo brew. I'm shocked. I did gag the first squirt LOL.  I'm not good at weird tasting stuff. But I'm a believer!”

    Another message she posted on my facebook page: “Thank you~thank you . I'm laying in bed scratching Jovi (her dog) and talking OUT LOUD to her just to make sure I really do have a voice - after almost a month I can talk !!!! I don't know what was in your special recipe, but I have a voice finally. So happy!”

Herbal Throat Spray    Western Botanicals Herbal Throat Soothe is available in 4 oz, 8 oz & 16 oz. bottles and Herbal Throat Spray is a 1 oz bottle. Western Botanicals Herbal Throat Soothe/Spray are identical and contain a powerful combination of herbs specially formulated to provide soothing immune support for your throat health. Herbal Throat Soothe/Spray soothes tight, irritated, inflamed throats, and is an effective cough suppressant and expectorant. This unique formula will relieve a sore throat while facilitating faster recovery.

    I’m glad I had something on hand that could help my friend, and I had no idea it would help that fast! I keep the spray bottle by my bed and it helps this time of year with the yucky throat I sometimes get with allergy season! This is just one of the great formulas that we carry from Western Botanicalsl Click to view Western Botaniccals Quick Reference Guide to see all the wonderful healing formulas.

Natural Remedies for Pain and Inflammation

    My husband and I have gotten into biking since last August and we just love it! This year I got a new seat and didn’t realize that it was too far forward for me. My knees started hurting and I finally just put the old seat back on until I get things figured out. Unfortunately my knees were still bothering me and I figured out through a web search that I have runner’s knee, aka patella-femoral pain syndrome. This is pain in the kneecap and it is not fun. In order to heal I would have to stop cycling for awhile to let it heal. I didn't like that plan but decided to take a few days off and eat some healing “foods” to get my knees back to feeling better.

Western Botanicals Turmeric Combo    In reading about Western Botanicals Turmeric Combo I felt it would work the best to heal the pain and inflammation.  The Turmeric Combo contains: Turmeric, Frankincense, Ginger Root, White Willow Bark, Devils Club Root, Lobelia and Cayenne which are all wonderful herbs on their own, but in this formula they work synergistically together for quick relief. I am truly impressed with pain relief that I have had with just a few days on this formula. This has been a big seller at Herbs First and now I know why! I plan on taking until the healing is complete.
Garden Essence Oils Pain Anti Inflammatory blend
    I am also treating my knees topically with my Coconut oil based BF&C ointment with Garden Essence’s Pain Anti-Inflammatory oil blend mixed in. Using the ointment with the Pain-Anti-Inflammatory blend and taking the Turmeric Combo the pain very slight when I tap on my knee caps. I only had to take a few days off to get the healing going and have no pain while riding and I am even taking my grandson with me in the bike trailer!

    I love how fast the herbs and oils worked to relieve the pain and get me cycling again! I try to stay away from doctors and having the herbs and oils on hand for quick healing makes this possible!

Herbs For Seasonal Allergies


Locust Tree    The lovely tree pictured is in my back yard and is in full “pollen bloom”.  With this pollen in the air it means sneezing, watery itchy eyes, runny nose, itchy irritated throat, all similar to common cold symptoms to make your life miserable. Too many people suffer with this every year and the prescription and over the counter medications cause drowsiness to make things even worse. There are many herbal formulas available that treat the sysmptoms without all the bad side effects of medication.

Dr. Christopher's ImmucalmDr. Christopher's Immucalm/Kid-e-Soothe has been a great one for us over the years to calm the itchiness that drives you crazy.  It is great for allergy flare-ups, arthritis, allergic reactions, bug bites and stings, etc. Often our immune systems work against us and Immucalm gets right to work calming and soothing the reaction.

Western Botanicals ImmuSoothe
Western Botanicals ImmuSoothe helps calm the onslaught of numerous symptoms all at once: runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, sneezing, and sinus congestion. Many of the natural ingredients found in this soothing formula are known to have a calming effect on the body's immune system. Give your immune system the boost it needs, especially when fighting off seasonal allergies.

Western Botanicals Seasonal Sinus formulaWestern Botanicals Seasonal Sinus formula works quickly to relieve the symptoms without the side affects, relieves sinus congestion and draining associated with allergies. It is also an immune booster to fight bacterial and viral infections, because sometimes you think it is allergies when it is a cold.

Dr Christopher's Sinus Plus
Sinus Plus works really well to clear up the Sinus congestion, especially when combined with the Sinus & Lung extract. This very powerful formula consists of Brigham tea, Horseradish, and Cayenne and acts like a catalyst to Sinus Plus Formula capsules.


Western Botanicals Herbal Throat SprayWestern Botanicals Herbal Throat Soothe was made with the perfect blend of natural herbs to help relieve an itchy or scratchy throat. It can also assist in soothing a nasty cough, and is available in a handy spray bottle, sold as Herbal Throat Spray which helps get this soothing blend right to the throat, where it is needed most.


Western Botanicals Herbal Snuff The herbs in Western Botanicals Herbal Snuff can relieve head pressure and clear your sinuses. Herbal Snuff works quickly and effectively. If you need a fast-acting, deep-cleansing simple solution, Herbal Snuff will give you results! If you are brave enough to try it you will love it!


   I have noticed that with my change in diet I don’t have nearly the problems with seasonal allergies that I used to have, and I have less symptoms every year. I saw the biggest difference when I got off of sugar, so I would highly recommend looking at a diet change if you are tired of dealing with this problem year after year.

Herbs to use instead of Viagra

    As men age gradual changes occur in sexual functioning. Levels of the male sex hormone testosterone tend to decrease, reducing sex drive “libido” and other male reproductive function. My husband has been having difficulty with this and we have been trying different combinations of herbs to fix the problem.  We have finally come up with a couple of formulas that work for him.
Dr. Christopher's Male Tonic
    Dr. Christopher's Male Tonic formula has been used historically to support the reproductive functions of the male body. My husband takes the Male Tonic 2 capsules twice a day. We had hoped that this one formula would be all he needed, but as sometimes is the case, he needed more help.
Western Botanicals Sensual Enchancement Formula
    Western Botanicals Sensual Enhancement formula supports sexual desire, energy and performance and is formulated to assist with a heightened sense of sexual arousal. My husband tried to use this formula just on nights when he wanted it, but found that just the occasional use of the formula did not create the effect he needed. When he started taking 2 capsules every evening then at the times when he had the desire the full function is happening.

    Everyone is different and so this is something that people need to experiment with to determine what will work for them. Such as trying the formulas separate, together, and the number of dosages needed per day to get the function you desire.

Dr. Christopher's Male Tonic formula is available in capsules.

Western Botanicals Sensual Enhancement formula is available in capsules, extract 2 oz & 4 oz and syrup 2 oz. & 4 oz.

Thank you for supporting our family owned business. Orders over $25.00 are receiving a discount on shipping, the more you order, the more you save!

Lemongrass Essential Oil, so many uses and so affordable too!

Garden Essence Oils LemongrassGarden Essence Oils Lemongrass essential oil is used to detox lymph and cellulite and cleanse oily skin and hair. Lemongrass essential oil gives relief from stomach disorders, insomnia, respiratory disorders, fever, aches, infections, rheumatism and edema.  The defensive antioxidant activity of the lemongrass essential oil protects against antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Here are some of the uses of Lemongrass Essential Oil.

Acne: Lemongrass is both astringent and antimicrobial which will help to resolve acne. Add one drop to a little coconut oil and dab on blemishes twice a day.

Athlete’s Foot:  Lemongrass essential oil can help fight fungal skin infections, use a drop of oil in a teaspoon of carrier oil and rub on feet several times a day.

Body aches: Lemongrass essential oil helps in alleviating the pain and discomfort caused by headaches and migraines due to its analgesic properties. The phytonutrients present in it improve the blood circulation and help in relieving spasms, muscle cramps, sprains, and back aches. It is valuable in treating sports wounds, including dislocations, internal injuries and bruises.

Cellular Health: Lemongrass possesses antioxidant qualities that help in protecting the body cells from the oxygen-derived free radicals. It also helps in the cleansing of blood and strengthens the spleen to discard the tarnished red blood cells. It supports the function of the thymus gland which helps to produce white blood cells. It helps in stimulating regeneration of cells. The folate and potassium content in the stem and leaves of lemongrass aids in DNA synthesis and promotes cell division.

Detoxification: Lemongrass essential oil helps in cleansing and flushing harmful toxic wastes out of the body, as a result of its diuretic properties. Detoxification helps in better regulation of various organs of the body, including the liver and kidney, while also helping to lower the levels of uric acid. The diuretic effect of lemongrass helps in increasing the quantity and frequency of urination, which helps in maintaining digestive health, eliminating accrued fats, and assisting in maintaining a clean system.

Edema: Lemongrass essential oil is effective in curing the condition of water retention or edema. It has a cleansing effect on lymphatic congestion and helps to soothe the swelling.

Fatigue: Mix a few drops of lemongrass oil with a teaspoon of coconut oil and massage into temples. This works wonders to give a natural energy boost.

Fever Reducer:  Lemongrass can help to fight infections that cause fevers and toxins. Add a few drops to carrier oil and apply to the back of neck, chest and the bottom of feet.

Headache Relief: Apply several drops of oil to temples at first sign of a headache.

Heartburn: Mix several drops of Lemongrass with coconut oil and rub over the throat and chest area for relief.

High Blood Pressure: Because lemongrass oil is a vasodilator it can help reduce blood pressure and clear plaque from the arteries.

Infections: Lemongrass essential oil works as an antiseptic, antimicrobial and anti-fungal, and is effective in treating infections such as ringworm, sores, Athlete’s Foot, candida, scabies, and urinary tract infections, by inhibiting the growth of pathogens.

Insomnia: The calming quality of lemongrass essential oil helps to relieve anxiety, irritability and is helpful in calming the muscles and nerves.  This can help improve the duration of sleep and the quality. Add a few drops of lemongrass essential oil to the bottom of feet before bed.

Mood Enhancement: The fresh and earthy scent of Lemongrass makes it a great addition to a diffuser. Lemongrass oil can boost confidence, mental health and help to keep depression at bay.

Muscle Relaxant: Make a lemongrass massage oil that will work to reduce inflammation and bring relief to sore muscles.  Add 6 drops of lemongrass essential oil to one ounce of carrier oil and massage gently into affected areas.

Nervous System: Lemongrass essential oil is a nervine and has been proven to be an excellent tonic for the nervous system. It stimulates the mind and helps in combating convulsions, nervousness, vertigo and various neuronal disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. It is used in therapeutic baths, which assist in calming the nerves and help in alleviating the symptoms of anxiety and fatigue caused by stress.

Respiratory Disorder: Lemongrass essential oil is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for its healing effects in treating coughs and colds. Helps in providing relief from nasal blockages, flu and other respiratory disorders such as bronchial asthma.

Rheumatism: Lemongrass is effective in relieving the pain and discomfort caused by rheumatism. It can be applied topically on both lumbago and sprains and helps in relieving neuralgia and other painful conditions.

Skin Care: Lemongrass essential oil has been treasured as a skin tonic and makes an effective cleanser for oily or acne-prone skin, due to its astringent and antiseptic qualities. It helps in strengthening the skin tissues and toning up the pores while also sterilizing them. Always use a carrier oil with Lemongrass.

Stomach Disorders: Studies have shown that Lemongrass essential oil has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties which help fight the infections caused by various pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori and Escherichia coli.

Topical Pain Relief: with its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, Lemongrass essential oil offers immediate pain relief while reducing inflammation.  Add 2 drops of lemongrass to one teaspoon of carrier oil and use where needed.

It amazes me all the different ways that Lemongrass essential oil can be used. One little bottle that costs less than $8.00 and has so many uses! It smells great too. Be sure to add it to your order today!

Bentonite Clay - Eat It and Wear It


Bentonite Clay in dog bowl of water    We first learned about using Bentonite Clay about two years ago. We have used it off and on and lately my mantra has become, if I don’t know what to do, use clay! The best part is, every time I have been stuck and not known what to do and used the clay it worked!  My dog was obviously not feeling well this weekend and after a day of not eating and throwing up I finally just mixed the clay in with her water. I don’t think she drank very much of it, but the next day she was feeling much better and the day after that was back to her old self and saved us a trip to the vet.

small jar of Bentonite Clay    I like to keep a small jar of clay to use on my face. I love how it makes my face look and feel and for pennies over you can buy at the store. Having this little jar saved me on our recent trip. I had a huge zit break out on the side of my nose that was quite painful. I applied the clay several times a day and it kept the problem to a minimum and cleared up quickly.

Bentonite Clay jarWe keep a large jar of clay to use for bigger problems. I recently had a rash on the back of my knee and had been trying everything we had from the Coconut Oil based BF&C ointment, essential oils and grape seed extract. Nothing was working and it became very red, inflamed and painful. My husband finally suggested using the clay and he applied it to the back of my knee two nights in a row and it got it calmed down to the point where the ointment could do its work. 

    Clay has been used for thousands of years to prevent and cure ailments.  It is very effective in removing toxins from the body including radiation, clearing up dysentery, food poisoning diarrhea and other digestive problems. Bentonite Clay is very alkaline and is very useful in neutralizing heartburn, reflux, and upset stomachs.  It contains over 60 trace minerals and makes a wonderful electrolyte replacement that helps with hydration.  To use, put one teaspoon of clay in a large glass of water and mix.  Let it sit for 30 minutes, mix and drink the clay, or let it settle to the bottom of the glass overnight and drink the liquid and throw out the clay.  Drink lots of water to help flush out the toxins it is collecting. The dry clay can also be capsulized.

    We were amazed to learn about the external uses of Bentonite Clay to heal burns, road rash, broken bones, sprains, insect bites including brown recluse spider bites, ear aches, infections including MRSA and more.

Western Botanicals Bentonite Clay    After two years we are sold on using the clay, especially when we don’t know what else to do. The Western Botanicals Bentonite Clay we sell is from the Redmond Clay company. I like to keep several bags on hand as they won't go bad.  Buy some and see what it will do for your family!

    Hydrated Bentonite Clay is made with two parts water to one part clay. To prepare the clay pour one cup of dry clay powder into a quart-size glass jar. Add a cup of water and pour it into the jar, then put the lid on the  jar and shake vigorously. Add another cup of water to the mixture, shake it again, and leave it on the counter  overnight.  By morning the clay will be fully hydrated and ready for use, with a consistency similar to mustard. I always have some wet clay on hand for immediate use in time of need.

Read our past newsletter about Bentonite Clay. Follow this link to a great PDF booklet from Redmond Clay telling more uses of the clay as well as some great photos.

Quick and affordable way to heal an ear infection fast!

    When our kids were little and before we were into natural medicine every doctor’s appointment seemed to be for an ear infection. The worst part was that it would crop up on Friday night about 10:00 o’clock, and there was no “Instacare” back then. My son had such issues that he lost some hearing in both ears due to the problem.
Western Botanicals Herbal Ear Drops    Once we learned about Herbal Ear Drops the doctor visits stopped and the infection problems were cleared up overnight. Western Botanicals Herbal Ear Drops cost less than $20.00 delivered, and a bottle will last two years if kept in the refrigerator. As soon as we realized that our child had an ear infection we would put a few drops in their ear canal, covered with a cotton ball. Within a few minutes they would be peacefully back to sleep and would be fine in the morning. I would always follow up with a dose in their ear the following evening and everything was fine after that. Herbal Ear Drops contain Garlic bulb, Mullein leaf and flower, Lobelia herb and seed, pure Olive Oil and is so soothing and healing.
    Is an ounce of prevention worth about $20.00 to you? This little bottle will save you far more than that if you have kids or grandkids in the home. I sure wish we had known sooner about this great formula. Order some today!

Headache Formula great for emotional issues too!


Western Botanicals Headache Formula
I had a great experience with Western Botanicals Headache Formula in December. I had been going through some emotional issues and my head really wasn't in a good place. I woke up in the night with a very bad headache and I went into the kitchen and grabbed the Headache Formula. I took two and went back to bed and within about 15 minutes I felt a shift in my brain that totally changed my thought processes. I couldn't believe the difference how I felt emotionally and how much better I have done since then. It was such a relief to have the shift happen. I read through the ingredients and what they are good for and really feel like it was providence that I got a headache and took this formula. We all go through trials and I'm glad to have found something to help me through these difficult times.
