Olive leaf, wow, amazing!

---

  

I had a customer asking about Olive Leaf extract today which got me looking into it a bit more. I had been on it a few years ago recommended by my health care practitioner. Olive Leaf is broadly anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial, and it covered the issue I was working on. During that time I was on it I had been gradually losing weight, and then when I went off it I gradually gained weight. I’ve had some stressful things going on in the past few years and with working on my own health issues never even considered that the OIive Leaf was helping me with my weight.  I felt that as the health issues got better that my weight would get where I wanted it to be, so I didn’t worry about it.

When I looked at it today, some things jumped out at me about Olive Leaf that I had no idea about. Here is what I found on healthline:

Olive leaf extract is a natural source of wellness with therapeutic properties that are:

• gastroprotective (protects digestive system)
• neuroprotective (protects central nervous system)
• antimicrobial (inhibits microorganism growth)
• anticancer (reduces risk of cancer)
• anti-inflammatory (reduces risk of inflammation)
• antinociceptive (reduces pain stimuli)
• antioxidant (prevents oxidation or cell damage)

These properties mean that olive leaf extract may help with weight loss, heart health, and herpes breakouts.

Olive Leaf extract:

• reduces cardiovascular risk, like atherosclerosis
• lowers blood pressure
• helps treats type 2 diabetes
• supports weight loss
• eliminates free radicals
• boosts immunity
• fights herpes
• reduces inflammation

     Amazing right? It sounds like Olive Leaf would be good for a lot of people. I originally bought the 4 oz. bottle of Western Botanicals Olive Leaf extract, and also got a pound of the cut herb and made up a bunch on my own extract to refill my bottle. It is easy to make an extract and save money over buying it prepared. For people that need their money to go further this is a great option. Olive leaf is available in capsules, extract 2 oz. and 4 oz, and bulk cut and powder, 4 oz, 8 oz. and 16 oz. sizes (scroll down on link and select size and type wanted).

How to make an Alcohol Extract

    Herbal Preparations and Natural Therapies, Debra Nuzzi St. Claire recommends using 100 proof vodka, which is readily available and is equal to the required solution of 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent water. Use four ounces of herb to one pint of alcohol. The herb should be finely cut or powdered, placed in a clean glass jar. 

    After pouring the alcohol over the herb, the jar is tightly covered. Shake the jar for a minute or two each day. At the end of two weeks, strain the tincture through cheesecloth, a jelly bag, or a coffee filter. If you happen to have a wine press, you could use that. "It is best to put up one's tincture on the new moon and strain it off on the full moon so that the drawing power of the waxing moon will help extract the herbal properties". Store herbal tinctures in dark glass bottles away from heat and light.

    At Herbs First we have bulk herbs from Acai to Yucca root and almost everything in between.  Feel free to call me if you have any questions and to place and order 801-228-1901.

Where do you get your Calcium?

---

    I’ve been using Dr. Christopher's bulk Calc Tea powder for many years, I add a teaspoon to my smoothie in the morning. I’ve fallen a number of times in the past three years and not broken any bones. One of my falls I hit my collar bone and was amazed that it didn’t break. I had a feeling that my bones must be pretty good! I recently had my bone density checked and found that my bone density is way above that of people my age, and I attribute that to the good herbal calcium that I eat every day.

    Dr. Christopher always taught people to use herbs to get the right kind of calcium for building strong bones and teeth. This is vitally important for the developing child as well as all of the rest of us, for all of our lives.

    “Dr. Christopher’s Herbal Calcium Formula/Calc Tea in bulk is a wonderful natural calcium capsule, extract or tea or powder made up of horsetail grass, oat straw, comfrey root and lobelia. As explained in the book "Biological Transmutations," the silica in horsetail grass converts to calcium, and the other herbs work in close conjunction with this master calcium herb. We need calcium for nerve sheath, vein and artery walls, bone, teeth, etc. This combination is all pure herbs. It is also used for cramps, "Charlie horses," and for all calcium needs in the body.

     Children with crowded, crooked teeth who later must have the wisdom teeth pulled because of a too narrow jaw are lacking calcium in the body. The pregnant woman should increase her natural calcium intake now for two people, so as to build for the child a good wide jaw and tooth material. Sugars, pastries, soft and alcoholic beverages, breads, candies, etc., leach the calcium out of the body, causing varicose veins, cramps, Charlie horses, loss of teeth, nervous upsets, etc. [Herbal Home Healthcare book page.185]”

    Dr. Christopher’s Herbal Calcium is available in capsules, extract and a child version called Kid-e-Calc. It is also available in bulk under the name of Calc Tea in powder and cut. We also have a page where we sell a “kit” to make 3.5 lbs of powder or cut/tea for larger families. Any way you use it, this is going to be the best calcium you can put into your body! Here’s a link to the Herbal Legacy page to learn more about Herbal Calcium.

Two more great formulas for Cold & Flu Season

We talked about Dr. Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula and Western Botanicals ImmuDefense in our blog a few weeks ago. These are great formulas and work really well. I like to have a variety of herbal formulas on hand so that my body doesn’t become immune and stop responding so I have a few other favorites I rely on.

Western Botanicals Echinacea and Goldenseal will boost the immune system and assist in fighting infections. This is a really great and simple formulation that is very effective in getting things turned around when you take it at the first sign of illness. Don’t wait and let things set in, take it right at the beginning and you can avoid getting sick. Available in capsules, 2 oz and 4 oz extract and 2 oz and 4 oz syrup!

Dr. Christopher’s X-INFX formula. I had to laugh a few weeks ago, this formula keeps changing names and I had to call and ask how do I pronounce this name?  I sure wish the FDA would quit insisting on name changes with these great products, because honestly, I am having a hard time keeping track of what some formulas are currently named!  This in the famous Infection Formula, formerly INF and Lymphatic Formula. Whatever the name, this is a great formula! It helps to clear the lymph system so that the body can fight infections. It is available in capsules and bulk powder and is a must have for your herb cabinet!

Have you tried Deep Heat Ointment for muscles issues?

   Fall marks the time when homeowners are out cleaning up the yard to get it ready for winter. We stained our fence a few weeks ago and I can honestly say that staining the fence was hard work. My husband and I worked on it together using paint brushes and rollers. After rolling a few of the 6’ slats I realized that was hard on my back. I suggested that he do the upper fence and I would do the lower sitting on a stool. That worked much better than doing the whole 6’ height. We are on the tail end of the leaf cleanup now and I think we are about done with the yard for the year.

   I’ve been watching a neighbor work on his house the last few weeks, he had a big project going on and it appeared that his back was hurting. He confirmed that he was struggling with all the work.

   My favorite ointment for back problems and any other sore muscles is Western Botanicals Deep Heat Ointment. It is a combination of their Deep Heat Oil and CTR Ointment and it’s a very healing blend. The smell is amazing too. I love how it penetrates into the skin and you feel that deep heating right into the muscles to help relieve the pain and soreness. Available in 5 oz and 16 oz sizes.

Is it Cold & Flu Season or Sugar Season??

    The month of October starts the sugar season, which really is Cold & Flu Season!!  Dr. Christopher always taught people that if they ate right then their bodies would be strong and not susceptible to all the germs that are causing the illness to spread. I have found this to be true. In the past I would buy Halloween candy the first part of October and I would end up eating it all. I would buy more for the kiddo’s and pick some up the day after Halloween at half price. Then continue on with the high sugar consumption through Thanksgiving and Christmas and on until the end of the year! I would get sick and stay sick for at least six weeks and always during Christmas and that is no way to spend Christmas every year!

    I would make a batch of Dr. Christopher’s Anti Plague formula (Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula) every 18 months. This is about a gallon of the formula, and as a family three of us could go through it that fast. My husband couldn’t handle the liquid formula, so I was happy when Western Botanicals came out with it in capsules now called Immu-Defense available in liquid. It honestly takes at least one 16 oz. bottle to kick a really bad illness, so please keep that in mind when ordering!

     I just looked and I still have 4 full bottles of the last formula I made in 2011. I gave away a bottle last year to someone in need, so haven’t even used it all ourselves in all those years! Eating right makes all the difference in the world! I will still always have this formula and other great formulas on hand for fighting Sugar/Cold and Flu Season, because being prepared is a big part of staying healthy!

     With the cold weather already starting it would be best to stock up on the liquid formula now. First because it has problems with freezing and second because both companies will run out of it, so please don’t be caught without the great formulas that you need to keep your family healthy this holiday and winter season!

      I love talking to my customers, please call me if you have any questions. We sell a kit to make your own Anti-Plague, I’d be happy to talk you through it.

Single herb capsules and extracts, so many to choose from!

Western Botanicals is a very reputable company. They test all of their herbs for purity and contaminates. Anything that comes in with problems is sent back. The herbs are always the best available, often organic and wild crafted.

You can rest assured that when you buy Western Botanicals you are getting the best herbs available. This goes for their whole product line. I have been using them along with Dr. Christopher’s for many years. If you enjoy using single herbs I know you will be impressed with the quality!

Western Botanicals Single Capsules

Western Botanicals Single Extracts

I looked in my cupboard to see how many single herbs I have and was amazed how many I have. They are very useful for healing and worth learning about and keeping on hand.

Here are a few that I use, just a small list to give you an idea of how wonderful single herbs can be. I have some in extract and some in capsules and I’ll let you know which ones I use, but they are both great to use. The links go to The Herbal Legacy website that is run by The School of Natural Healing.

Cayenne – I have both capsules and extract. This is a Dr. Christopher favorite and the one he feels turned around his heart problems. He liked to take the powder in water and I have done that from time to time, but I struggle with the hot in my mouth. I have the extract and will use it in an emergency, since it can immediately stop a heart attack and stroke. I use the capsules when mosquitos are out, if I am getting a migraine with those weird eye symptoms or if I’m cold.

Dandelion – I use both capsules & extract, bulk is also available. Amazing herb! I used this back when I wat hit with arthritis and had gout in my feet. I wouldn’t wish gout on anyone, it is very painful. Dandelion helped to break up the uric acid crystals and make life bearable. Click here to read my arthritis story.

Ginger – love this one and use capsules, also available in extract. I would take it all throughout my period from right before it starts to the end and no cramping. I use it for travel and is the great for car/air sickness if taken beforehand. It really works and doesn’t make you all drowsy like the Dramamine does!

Kava Kava – I use capsules at night – 2 at bedtime, its relaxing and I don’t have problems with leg cramps or Charlie horses. I wake up feeling good in the morning. Available in bulk and extract as well.

Lobelia – I have extract. A lifesaver for people with lung/bronchial issues. I’ve woken up in the night with a heaviness in my chest and had the feeling I need to get up right now and take Lobelia. After taking it I’m able to cough up the phlegm and get back to sleep.

Black Walnut & Pau D’Arco – I have used both Black Walnut extract and Pau D'Arco extract  when I was doing the Candida program. It took me a good 9 months of being faithful to finally overcome that crazy situation. I feel so much better now and it is wonderful to not have those crazy sugar cravings and other awful candida symptoms!

Use the search box and the website and put in what you are looking for. It will give you the sizes and types. Some single herbs are available in syrup as well as capsules and extract, 2 oz & 4 oz. sizes. Capsules are bottles of 100 for the single herbs. Bulk is cut, powder and whole, 4, 8 & 16 oz. We are here to help you, give us a call to place an order or ask a question.

Comparing Conventional Medicine to Natural Medicine

Dr. Christopher taught his patients how to eat right and use herbs to in order to be healthy. I love that there is so much information about eating right and using natural medicine on the internet. We have been striving to eat right and using natural medicine for many years and my husband remarks to me how much healthier we are than many people that we know. He tells me how grateful he is that I take such good care of him! I say back to him, “thank you for cooperating”!

I have talked to quite a few people that are trying to get their family on track with eating wholesome foods and using herbs, but many are really struggling with this! The battle is real, but just make those changes little by little and you will get there!

The choice is: are we going to keep eating whatever we want, and use conventional medicine to only get worse and worse, or are we going to change our diet and use the herbs and essential oils to help us maintain optimum health??

Dr. Christopher often said, this is a do it yourself plan. Learn what to do and then do it!
Comparing Conventional Medicine to Natural Medicine

Main Focus of Conventional Medicine: Destroy, kill or cut out a disease or malfunctioning body part.

How Conventional Medicine uses Symptoms: Different methods are used to suppress or remove the symptoms. The symptom is thought of as a disease and is treated as such, never getting to the cause of why those symptoms are present.

Conventional Medicine Method: Attack, kill and remove disease using drugs, radiation or surgery. Alter or remove malfunctioning parts or organs such as mastectomy, hysterectomy, tonsillectomy, radiation, etc.

Products used in Conventional Medicine: Drugs made from chemicals, animal waste and toxic elements. Many side effects which starts the drug cycle of more and more medication to alleviate the symptoms.

Modalities used in Conventional Medicine: Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, steroids, dialysis, colostomies, insulin, etc.

Emotions some people have that use Conventional Medicine: Negative attitude, coping, fear, anxiety, depression. The complete feeling that your life is in someone else's hands.

Many people that use Conventional Medicine: Feel that they are an unlucky victim that caught a disease. Feel helpless and want others to "fix" them. Total lack of control and responsibility for the predicament they find themselves in.

Main Focus of Natural Healing: To create a healthy person.

What we do with Symptoms in Natural Healing: Let our body guide us in the healing process by listening to the symptoms.

Natural Healing Method: Create a proper living environment so that the body can heal itself. This is accomplished through changes in diet, cleansing and nourishing with herbs, positive thinking and lifestyle changes.

Products used in Natural Healing: Wholesome foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, vegetable juices, herbs and essential oils. No side effects.

Modalities used in Natural Healing: Wholesome food program, cleansing and detoxification, exercise, hydrotherapy, emotional therapy and lifestyle changes.

Emotions people have that use Natural Healing: Positive attitude toward healing through following wholesome food programs, cleansing and nourishing. Control of your healing.

People that use Natural Healing: Recognize the fact that past habits created the level of health, and take responsibility of making the changes necessary to heal themselves. Being in control.

    As you can see there is a big difference in how these medicines work. I  choose natural medicine and have always had great results with them. I don't want to have my body parts cut out or replaced, I want to keep what I have in good working condition!  It is my hope that this blog will help people realize their health is in their hands, and that our bodies can heal if we feed it what it needs.

    At Herbs First we sell Dr. Christopher's, Western Botanicals and Garden Essence Oils and they are the best I have ever used. Pure and simple, they work. I hope that these products and this newsletter will help you on your road to continued good health. We don't just sell products, we know how to use them and we use them ourselves!

Time to order bulk herbs

Single bulk herbs are 10% off and it is a great time to start thinking about making some winter remedies to help keep your family healthy. Making your own remedies is very easy and you get so much more for your money.

I have been making Dr. Christopher’s famous Anti-Plague (click link for instructions)  for over 25 years. I used to make it about once every two years, but now we are much healthier and the kids are grown-up, so a batch will easily last me 10 or more years. I have used 12 year old Anti-Plague and it works just as good as a fresh batch! It might sound a bit involved, but just break it down into chunks. I would take 5 days making it and put it together on the last day. Once you make this you will feel empowered to make other things too! Order the herbs and other items to make Anti-Plague.

Elderberry Syrup (Elder Berry) is a great one to take during flu season. This is easy to make and a great remedy to help keep everyone from getting the flu. Learn how to make Elderberry Syrup.
Learn how to make an alcohol extract.
 

I’ve been making my own BF&C Ointment for over ten years. I found that I was allergic to the beeswax that is in all of the ointments, so I started making my own ointment using coconut oil as the base. I use it on all of my joints and on my face, neck & upper chest area. It’s keeping my skin looking great and people can’t believe that I am now 60! In this blog post I was using a smaller bottle of coconut oil. I now use two 84 oz. bottles of coconut oil from Costco, melt them, split the 16 oz. bag of BF&C cut between two - 2 quart jars and follow the same routine using the dehydrator to heat it for several days to a week. Coconut oil keeps longer than most oils, so it has been a great one to use to make the BF&C ointment.

Here’s a link to our Herbal Calcium kit. It’s easy, just order one of each item, mix them together and you have it! I add it to my smoothie and you really can’t taste it. A great way to get a plant-based calcium for your family. 

I have made other extracts and oils, feel free to email me, or call me. I love to talk to customers and am happy to answer your questions!

How to Make Dr Christopher's Hawthorn Berry Heart Syrup

By Dr. John Christopher

What You Need:
Dried or fresh hawthorn berries
Distilled water
Vegetable glycerin
Grape brandy
Amber/dark brown bottles

Step-by-Step:
1. If you are lucky enough to have a hawthorn tree, pick tons of berries off of your tree or use dried hawthorn berries that you will need to reconstitute with distilled water until they are their natural size. Fill a stainless steel pot with the berries to about 2 inches away from the top of the pot and then pour distilled water over the berries. There should be one inch of water above the berries.

2. Simmer the mixture for 20 minutes, making sure it never boils. Set the mixture aside in a warm place to steep for 20 minutes.

3. Strain off the liquid and transfer it to a clean container and set it aside. Now mash the simmered and strained berries with a potato masher or some similar utensil.

4. Cover the mashed berries with new distilled water covering
them with an inch of water above them.

5. Simmer these mashed berries and water for 20 minutes, then steep the mixture for 20 minutes, then strain off the liquid as before.

6. Mix this liquid with the liquid from the first straining which was previously set aside and measure the amount of liquid you have. This mixture of the liquids from the two strainings must now be simmered down slowly to 1/4 of its original amount. For example if you had one gallon of liquid, it must be simmered down to one quart.

7. Stir the mixture often while it is simmering down so it will not stick to the bottom of the container and burn. Do not boil. Even if hours are required to reduce the liquid to 1/4 of the original amount, only simmer slowly to do the job correctly. (This is when patience will be your greatest virtue!)

8. When the simmering is finished, measure the now concentrated liquid carefully and then add to it 1/4 of its own volume of pure vegetable glycerin and also 1/4 of its own volume of a good quality grape brandy (Christian Brothers or some comparable brand name) and mix together. For example, if the liquid concentrate after simmering measures 1 quart, then add 1 cup of the glycerin and 1 cup of the brandy.

9. Pour the mixture into dark brown glass bottles, date and label. If desired, when the bottle is tightly sealed, you can turn the bottle upside down and dip the top in melted sealing wax.
You can keep this formula for years at household temperatures. The dosage is 1/2 tsp 3 times a day. It is best taken over a period of several months or years to achieve results, being a tonic formula. Appropriate for all ages.

After you make your own hawthorn berry syrup, you will have a very powerful, healing syrup for yourself and your family.

Everyone could benefit from this syrup, and it tastes so good too! It’s rich in bioflavonoids, antioxidants, nutrients, and active compounds that can truly help transform your heart over time.

Herbal Formulas for Pain

   In the news again is the drug abuse problem with OxyContin. Over 190,000 people have died from this one medication alone. I have never filled a prescription for pain medication even though it has been prescribed after dental treatment and surgeries.

Herbal Formulas for Children

My kids were fairly young when we totally switched over to using Dr. Christopher’s herbal formulas.  I wish that we had known sooner what we know now about taking care of ourselves naturally.  It is very empowering to be able to handle health situations at the time when things are happening. I hate when people say I think my kids are getting sick and I mention things they can do, but they don’t follow through. This doesn’t need to happen. If we give them the herbs as soon as we think they are getting sick, then most of the time it will stop it or at worst shorten it.

    Dr. Christopher has a great Kid-e-Line of extracts for children which are appropriate to give from newborn to elderly.  

    Dr. Christopher’s Kid-e-Calc is a wonderful natural calcium formula designed to meet children’s specific growing needs. As explained in the book, "Biological Transmutations", the silica in horsetail grass can be converted into calcium in the human body, and the other herbs work in close conjunction with this master calcium herb. We need calcium to build and maintain nerve sheath, vein and artery walls, bone, teeth, etc. This combination is helpful for cramps, ("Charlie horses"), successful pregnancies, and building as well as maintaining healthy bones, teeth, hair, skin and nails for children and adults.

    Dr. Christopher’s Kid-e-Col is a mother's favorite formula for her new born baby. This formula is time tested and a blessing for infants. A great combination of Catnip and Fennel for colic, teething pain, flatulence, spasms, etc. This is one I give as a gift when I hear a baby has colic.  Parents are always amazed at how quickly it works to soothe little tummies.

    Dr. Christopher’s Kid-e-Dry is specifically for controlling or overcoming bed-wetting and to strengthen the entire urethral canal, kidneys, bladder, etc. you won't have to beg your child to take this great-tasting extra each day. 

    Dr. Christopher’s Kid-e-Mem helps to promote proper brain function. We all want what's best for our children. Childhood is an important time to learn & grow.

    Dr. Christopher’s Kid-e-Mune was designed to enhance the body’s ability to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. Many herbalists use Echinacea for its ability to build resistance to infections of the respiratory and digestive tracts and strengthen the body’s resistance against many common ailments such as bronchitis, the common cold, sore throats, canker sores, cold sores, etc. Give at the first sign of illness to stop problems quickly before they develop.

Here are two of my favorite kid’s formulas from Western Botanicals. I think you will agree that it is good to have some Herbal Ear Drops on hand to treat those middle of the night ear infections!

    Western Botanicals Herbal Ear Drops soothes and reduce the painful effects of earaches. Also used to decrease lymphatic swelling associated with congestion and infection. Contains Garlic bulb, Mullein leaf & flower, Lobelia herb & seed, pure Olive Oil.  I recommend getting the 1 oz. bottle and replacing it every two years. This one bottle will save a family so much grief from the misery of ear infections and the high cost of running to the doctor.

    Western Botanicals Immune Boost Formula Syrup - the primary ingredient in Immune boost is Echinacea which has been scientifically proven to stimulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, destroy harmful bacteria and speed wound healing. This very powerful and potent herbal combination should be used at the first sign of illness to stop it in its tracks! No child can resist the taste and you will be amazed with the results. Available in 2 oz.  4 oz. syrup and capsules.
