We have what you need to fight the virus! Variants don't matter!

We want you to know how much we appreciate your orders, it helps our small family business stay here for you!

This is the time of year that there is a big need for formulas for Virus/Colds/Flu. A fresh batch of Super Garlic Immune formula 16 oz. is now available. This is the top formula for Virus/Colds/Flu and we encourage you to stock up now, while we have it. It is best for us to ship it before the freezing weather comes in, so please keep that in mind and order soon. Virus variants don't matter, Super Garlic Immune Formula covers them all!

My husband & I had Covid back in October and I was grateful that we were stocked up with the formulas we need. I can feel the healing happen and I like to hit it really hard to get over things faster than most people. I don’t love the taste of Super Garlic Immune Formula, but after taking it so many years I don’t think it is so terribly nasty to me anymore! I have taken it as often as every 15 minutes when things are bad, moving to once and hour, and then as I feel the healing happen start getting it further between doses. I would suggest for people to get at least one 16 oz. bottle per person in the house, two if you have the funds.

Below are some great formulas to have on hand this time of year. My husband can’t handle the garlic formulas, so we rotate him through some of the other formulas. He does much better when he hits it hard too, taking something every hour when things are bad and spreading it out and improvement happens.

Please get your orders in while inventory is good on these items, and so that you have them when you need them!

Herbal remedies for Flu & Coronavirus

---

     Western Botanicals has some great formulas including an anti-plague formula called Immu-Defense - available in syrup and capsules. This is the virus killing formula that will help with the flu and Coronavirus that is going around. Capsules are great for people that can’t handle the taste of the syrup, take it as a preventative, and in higher doses when sick.

    Suggested supply as a minimum is one 16 oz. bottle of syrup per person in the household. Three bottles of capsules per person if you can't handle the syrup. We have both, since my husband can't handle the syrup. Dr Christopher's Super Garlic Immune Formula is the Anti Plague formula. We have it in stock, I like to plan on at least one 16 oz. bottle per person.

    For those of you that like to make your own herbals and stretch your money like I do, I’ll share with you how to make Dr. Christopher’s famous Anti-Plague. Be sure to save your brown bottles, to remove the labels use a hair dryer to heat the label and peel it off. Making Anti-Plague is a big project, but once you do it you realize if you can make Anti-Plague you can make anything!

Dr. Christopher’s Liquid Anti-Plague Formula

Using 4 oz. as a part will make about a gallon. If you are buying one Anti-Plague kit it uses 4 oz. as a part.  Plan on the below, buy the bigger bags if you are going to make a bigger batch:

8 parts apple cider vinegar - 32 oz.
5 parts glycerine - 20 oz.
5 parts honey - 20 oz.
2 parts garlic juice, fresh - 8 oz
2 parts comfrey root concentrate, use fresh root for best results* - 8 oz.
1 part wormwood concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part lobelia leaf concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part marshmallow root concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part white oak bark concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part black walnut hull concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part mullein leaf concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part scullcap leaf concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part uva ursi, hydrangea or gravel root concentrate - 4 oz.

*if using fresh comfrey use a bit more to come up with the same concentration as the dried. So in the above I would use about 12 oz or so to make up for the water content in the fresh comfrey.

     I start on Monday making the garlic/apple cider vinegar and finish up on Saturday with combining everything.

    First make the garlic juice. I can get 8 oz. of garlic juice out of a pound of garlic when using my Green Star Juicer.  Other juicers will likely need more garlic to get that much juice. Add garlic juice and pulp to the vinegar and shake 2-3 times a day for 4 - 5 days to get the rest of the goodness out of the pulp. Note that it often turns green looking, I don’t know why but most people tell me this happens.  With all the Anti-Plague I have used over the years it hasn’t killed me!

     If you don’t have a juicer use this alternative method: for the example of parts above amount use 2 1/2 lbs. of garlic - peel, blend in blender with vinegar (do not liquify).  Let set for 4 - 5 days, shaking several times per day.

To make the concentrates:

     Each concentrate should be made individually. Use only stainless steel or glass pots.  Start by soaking the herb in enough distilled water to cover it for four hours and over- night if it is a root. After soaking add more distilled water so that the total added equals 16 oz. water per 4 oz. of herb. Mullein is quite fluffy and you will end up adding a lot more water to it, and after the soaking you may need to add more water to some of the herbs as well, since it will have soaked it up. This is ok, just keep following the directions.

    The recipe calls for fresh comfrey, when I have used the dried bulk comfrey, they did not scrape off the outer root before drying. This then becomes a weird mess once you combine the comfrey with the other herb concentrates. Just not worth it! Find someone with some root they will share with you. Scraping the root is part of the fun!  Still soak it overnight since it is a root.

    Simmer the herbs on very low heat in a covered pan or double boiler for thirty minutes.  Let cool for 30 minutes and then strain the liquid into a clean pan, squeezing all of the liquid out of the herb. I like to use a potato ricer for this.  Next put the liquid into a double boiler or on very low heat uncovered and simmer down to one fourth of the original volume (4 oz. if that is the portion you started with).  Go ahead and add a bit of distilled water if you reduced it too far. 

     Only after all the ingredients have been prepared should the liquids be mixed. It takes me 2 days to get the concentrates made. I do some on Thursday and the others on Friday, then I refrigerate the concentrates until they are ready to mix. Be sure they are all the same temperature before combining. Combine the herbs first, if you do get some clumping going on after adding the comfrey, then blend it in a vitamix and strain well. Add the garlic and vinegar mixture, glycerine and honey last.

     On Saturday I squeeze out the garlic from the vinegar, make sure there is a total of 40 oz., if not then add more apple cider vinegar to make bring it up to 40 oz. combined ACV/garlic juice. Add the honey, glycerine and liquid herbs to the ACV/garlic juice and mix well. Bottle and label and keep in a cool place. I keep mine in the back of the fridge so they are out of the way but at a controlled temperature. Dr. Christopher talks about it being good for ten years or more and I have used ten year old Anti-Plague and it works! Now you know how to make it!

    If this sounds like too much work for you we have Dr. Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula available in 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz, or Western Botanicals Immu-Defense available in 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz as well as capsules. I have found that when I get sick I need a full 16 oz. bottle to get well. I like to keep at least one 16 oz. bottle per person on hand.

     Our last newsletter talked about Elderberry being great for  killing virus bugs as well, I have been using it daily and haven't been sick all winter. If we run out of the anti-plague formulas, get some Elderberry Extract!

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

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.

When 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.

Order online at Herbs First, or phone in your order 801-228-1901.

Have a great month!

Western Botanicals Immu-Defense Formula, are you ready for the Plague?

    Immu-Defense was formerly named Anti-Plague. This is Western Botanicals version of Dr. Christopher’s famous Anti-Plague formula which is available in capsules and syrup. Immu-Defense stimulates the immune system, and is wonderful for clearing up respiratory infections, as well as colds and flus.

    My husband was really excited when Western Botanicals made Immu-Defense available in capsules since he can’t handle the taste of the syrup.  The syrup is quite strong and some people love it. I hate the taste, but love what it does for me and have become accustomed to it. The results have been amazing over the years in helping us to get well from bouts of the flu, bronchitis, etc. It has really helped our immune system because we rarely have problems with sickness like we dealt with in the past.

    I have a friend who gives the syrup to her son when he has an asthma attack and it stops it right away! When our son was very young we gave him a daily dose of the Anti-Plague because he was such a sick little guy. After a year he became our healthy one and still is at twenty-six!

    We take a dose of Immu-Defense any time we have been exposed to people that are sick or if we feel we have something coming on. It works well to boost our immune system to help fight off any invaders that are attacking our system. My husband keeps a bottle of the capsules at work because someone is always sick. The capsules are a great alternative to the syrup so that you don't end up with garlic breath, and they are easier to pack around with you.

Both Western Botanicals Immu-Defense and Dr. Christopher's Super Garlic Immune formula (formerly Anti-Plague) are affordably priced. Order Immu-Defense in capsules or syrup or Dr. Christopher's Super Garlic Immune Formula.

    Next week we will share the Anti-Plague Formula to make your own syrup. This is great for people with more time than money!

Cold and Flu fighters and Immune System Builders

    Many years ago I would be sick for Christmas and into the new year, usually for a total of six weeks. That was back when I was a sugar queen and didn't follow the mucusless diet. Dr. Christopher taught that if you ate right you didn't have to worry about plagues and I'm happy to say that with following the diet and being off of sugar I rarely get sick.

The top formula for colds and flu is Super Garlic Immune Formula and we used to go through lots of it at my house. Anti-Plague is about the worst tasting thing I have ever tasted, but is oh so good for you. I could feel myself getting better when I ate this. I take a tablespoon every 15 mintues to half an hour when things are really bad. It has powerful and amazing healing qualities. Buy Christopher's Super Garlic Immune formula in 4 oz and 16 oz sizes, or Western Botanicals version  Immu-Defense Syrup in 4, 8 and 16 oz or capsules. The capsules are great to have around for people that can't handle the strong garlic taste of the liquid, but I know lots of people that love the taste too!

Both Dr. Christopher’s and Western Botanicals have some great formulas to choose from when it comes to treating infants, children and adults. Since we are in the midst of winter and more and more people are getting sick, now would be a good time to order some formulas to keep everyone healthy.

I take something at the first sign of sickness such as sniffles, sore throat, fever, or just being exposed to sick people such as at school, church, work or shopping. Western Botanicals Immune Boost Syrup works to boost the immune system as well as kill bugs, and it so great tasting and easy to get kids to take.  Immune Boost is available in alcohol extract, great tasting syrup and capsules.

Dr. Christopher's Infection Formula helps move the toxins out of the blood stream and is a great infection fighter. I like to switch off the formulas I take so that my body doesn't get used to it. The Infection Formula has always been one of the top formula choices to have on hand. Order  Infection formula capsules.

I am still working on weak lungs from years of bronchitus in the past due to a steel mill that used to be in our community. It was a happy day when they closed it down and dismantled it.  I continue to take Dr. Christopher's Lung and Bronchial Formula during the winter months to keep my lungs strong. It is great formula for people with asthma, etc. and I can attest to the fact that it really does a great job of keeping the lungs nice and open. Lung and Bronchial Formula is available in capsules and extract.

A must have formula for any family is Western Botanicals Herbal Ear Drops. A 1 oz. bottle will last most families at least a year. My kids would get ear infections late at night and I would put a few drops in each ear and put a cotton ball in their ear to help hold the oil in. Usually with in 15 minutes they would quiet down and get a good night’s sleep. I keep it refrigerated and warm the bottle it in a glass of hot water. I recommend getting a new bottle every 2 years to keep it fresh. Order Herbal Ear Drops.

Cold Tonic is the recipe that was given out when I was going to The School of Natural Healing. Purchase all the ingredients fresh from the Grocery Store, it take two weeks to make, and is another great infection fighter to have on hand.

Cold Tonic

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1 part fresh chopped Garlic Cloves
1 part fresh chopped White Onion
1 part fresh grated Ginger Root
1 part fresh grated Horseradish Root
1 part fresh chopped Cayenne Peppers or the hottest peppers available, i.e. habanero, African Bird, etc.

Fill a glass jar 3/4 of the way full w/equal parts by volume (i.e. a cup of each) of the above fresh chopped and grated herbs. Then fill jar to the top with raw apple cider vinegar. Close and shake vigorously and then top off the vinegar if necessary.

Shake at least once a day for two weeks, then filter the mixture through cheesecloth and bottle and label. When you make this tonic shake it every time you walk by it, at least once per day but the more the better. All the herbs and vegetables should be fresh and organically grown if possible.

This tonic is extremely powerful, 1 tsp for kids and 1 tbsp for adults. Gargle if you have a sore throat and swallow. Do not dilute, take it straight.

Feel free to email me, or call me with any questions 1-801-228-1901.

Have a great month!

Do it yourself healing success stories...

The thing I like most about using natural medicine at home is when something happens we can take care of the problem right away, instead of having to go to see a doctor.  Our early experiences were with ear infections.  Having gone the doctor route at first with our son and with his ears never getting better it was a relief to finally find Western Botanicals  Herbal Ear Drops that ended that cycle.  We built up his immune system with home made Anti-Plague (Dr Christopher's Super Garlic Immune Syrup) and he became our healthy one. 

     My niece  had an experience a few weeks ago when her little 16 month old son was suddenly crying hysterically. She found that a wasp had gotten under his shirt and had stung him quite a few times.  She has been using the essential oils lately and grabbed the lavender essential oil and put it on his tummy and rubbed it around. Within seconds he settled right down and was fine.  It is great to see nieces and nephews learning more and using these great products with their families.

    Lavender essential oil soothes bites, itching and inflammation.  It is a well known burn remedy, cooling the burn and aiding in healing without scarring.  Use it on sunburns to soothe and heal without peeling.  It is a very relaxing oil, use in the bath, use it with fractionated coconut oil on the shoulders, massage it in and feel the muscles relax.  Put it on your kids pillow at night and they will quickly fall asleep.  Use it when you don’t know what to use, what do you have to lose?

    Another niece told me that her ten year old son is going through one of those clumsy stages and tripped one night badly scuffing and bruising his leg.  She put the Garden Essence Blue blend on his leg and in the morning there was no sign of the injury from the night before.  She diffuses Garden Essence X-Plague all winter long to keep the bugs away and it does a good job of things and smells great too!

    I like to keep a roller bottle of Garden Essence Blue mixed with fractionated coconut oil on my night stand because sometimes  I wake up during the night with my neck hurting.  I’ll roll it around my neck and shoulders and rub it in and drift back to a good night’s sleep. 

    My cousin will order three of the 4 oz. jars of Dr Christophr's Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment at a time.  They use it liberally on boo boos that happen with their four kids.  She is starting to use the essentail oils and loves how quickly and effectively they work.  She loves the quality of the oils and the affordable pricing that makes it easy to have on hand for her family. 

    What are your success stories?  If you don’t have any, then now is time to get started.  Check out our sale pricing on all of the products we carry. Order some and start having your own success stories! 

Have a great month!
