Are your kids going back to school with focus problems?

Summer has flown by and the kids will be heading back to school soon! If they struggle with focus, Western Botanicals has three formulas to try. Everyone is different, so it is nice to have several to choose from. I love that Western Botanicals formulas come in capsules, alcohol extract and syrup, so there is a formula that everyone can take.

Attention Calm has been historically used for ADHD - Attention Focus has been historically used for ADD.

Western Botanicals Attention Calm formula supports mental focus and clarity and is wonderful for people who are concerned about the side effects of a less holistic approach. Difficulty focusing or calming down is often associated with the nervous system. The herbs in Attention Calm are very calming and contains Ginkgo leaf, Passion leaf and flower, Oregon Grape root, Black Cohosh root, Valerian root, Blue Cohosh root, Wild Yam root, St. John’s Wort herb, Grape seed, Hops flowers, Scullcap herb, Lobelia herb/seed pod, Chamomile flower, Wood Betony herb. Available in capsules, extract 2 oz and 4 oz and syrup 2 oz and 4 oz.

Western Botanicals Attention Focus formula is used for attention problems where mental focus and clarity are a concern without hyperactivity. Trouble focusing can often be tied to the nervous system. Attention Focus Formula addresses those symptoms and contains Ginkgo leaf, Passion Flower herb & flower, St. John's wort flowering top, Grape seed, Oregon Grape root. Available in capsules, extract 2 oz and 4 oz and syrup 2 oz and 4 oz.

Western Botanicals Brain Circulation formula is a great aid for mental fogginess, poor memory, stroke recovery or for an afternoon mental pick-me-up. The herbs in this formula promote more blood and oxygen circulation to the brain helping brain function. Brain Circulation contains Ginkgo leaf, Kola nut, Calamus herb, Ginger root, Gotu Kola herb, Rosemary leaf, Habanero Cayenne pepper. Available in capsules, extract 2 oz and 4 oz and syrup 2 oz and 4 oz.

As with so many health concerns I want to reiterate that diet is a large factor in any attention dysfunction and should be primary in assisting in focus and mental clarity concerns. Refined foods and processed sugars should be avoided. Whole natural foods need to be the primary food source. Please address these issues along with using a formula to aid the problem.

Please call me, I'm happy to take your order and answer your questions!

How Safe Is Your Medicine Cabinet?

    It is a sad story when you hear about people dying from an overdose of medication.  My son had a classmate who’s sister had sprained her ankle and the parents left her home to recover while they worked.  She was hurting from the sprain and took too much Tylenol over a number of days and died.  Most people don’t understand the dangers that are lurking in their own medicine cabinets, and kids certainly don’t either.  The best way to avoid this is to only have safe medicines in your home and we have found herbal medicine and essential oils to be safe and effective.  We are able to treat far more ailments at home than most people, and it is comforting to know if the kids get into the herbs or oils they aren’t going to hurt themselves.

    Western Botanicals Pain Relief Formula is a non-narcotic pain reliever, particularly suited for chronic pain. Relaxes and calms nervous irritation associated with pain. A good natural option is sometimes hard to find, Pain Relief Formula is helpful for head aches, back pain, muscle pain and joint inflammation. Available in capsules, extract and syrup.

    Western Botanicals Attention Focus and Attention Calm are a wonderful alternative to pharmaceutical options on the market.  Attention Calm is used for Attention Deficit problems where mental focus and clarity are a concern with hyperactivity.  Attention Focus is used for Attention Deficit problems where mental focus and clarity are a concern without hyperactivity. Available in capsules, extract and syrup.

    Western Botanicals Depression Formula: It is important to always deal with the underlying causes with depression.  Depression Formula along with regular exercise can be helpful in dealing with depression. The primary ingredient in Western Botanicals Depression formula is St. John's wort, which is known as a potent antidepressant. Clinical trials and studies have shown that St. John's wort is the herb of choice when dealing with depression. Available in capsules, extract and syrup.

    Western Botanicals Sweet Dreams Formula: A natural, non narcotic, non-alcohol based herbal product which helps to relax the body, mind and spirit allowing you to gently drift into sleep. Used effectively by children and adults. Not habit forming and completely non toxic to the system. Available in capsules, extract and syrup.

Making a Killing The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging. Herbal Formulas to use instead of medication.

I’ve been greatly concerned about the amount of people that are taking psychotropic drugs. When my son was in elementary school one of his teachers had been successful in getting just about every kid in class on some type of medication for ADD. We did give in for three weeks and could see that our son would have been on between three to five medications before the teacher and doctor were done with him. Its just crazy how the schools have teamed up with doctors to drug our kids. Please watch the video Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging so you can understand more about how these drugs came about and how dangerous they really are. This movie is in its entirety and worth the time invested in watching it.

For ADD kids Western Botanical Attention Focus along with Nature’s Way EFA Blend for children is a great combo. Most people find that they need to about double the recommended amount of the EFA Blend, start out with 2 caps twice a day and go up from there to find the right dosage for your child. This one is well worth it, my niece calls these smart pills and she can really notice the difference when her son doesn’t take them. Western Botanicals makesAttention Calm and Attention Focus and most people have found the Attention Focus to work well for their ADD kids. I love this formula and it is great for any age child or adult and is available in a great tasting syrup and capsules as well as alcohol extract.


I have talked about Mindtrac a lot in the past because I have found it to be such a great formula that works right away for anxiety and depression symptoms. The first time I took it I couldn’t believe the difference it made for me. The reason I like using Mindtrac for anxiety and depression is that it really works and is noticable with the first dosage. When I realize I don’t need to take it anymore I just stop taking it, and there are no withdrawals or side effects from stopping. Sometimes I need it for a day or a week, and lately for more than a year and that’s ok. I know many people that have been taking Mindtrac for many many years and this is far better than the drug choices out there with all of their side effects. Available in capsules.

Relax-Eze is a great one to take along with the Mindtrac because it helps to calm and repair the nerves. Dr Christopher talks about Relax-Eze “Here is a formula we have used with great success for well over thirty years (at least 60 years now). It is used for relieving nervous tension and insomnia; it is mildly stimulating and yet lessens the irritability and excitement of the nervous system and also lessens or reduces pain. This formula contains herbs that feed and revitalize the motor nerve at the base of the skull (medulla area and upper cervicals), and also herbs that help rebuild or feed the spinal cord. This group of herbs will also rebuild the frayed nerve sheath, the nerve itself, and its capillaries. The herbs in this combination are food for your valuable--and in many cases, shattered-- nerves.” [from Herbal Home Health Care, used by permission] Available in capsules and glycerin extract.

With all of the herbal options available for anxiety, depression and ADD we hope that you will inform yourself as well as those you love that they don’t need to resort to dangerous psychotropic drugs.
