Why you should use cleansing herbs

     It is interesting to see during this pandemic what people are buying at Herbs First. We are selling a lot of cleansing kits & cleansing herbs. The body has the ability to heal itself. Supporting our eliminating organs and pathways is at the heart of Dr. Christopher’s teachings. In his book, Herbal Home Health Care, Dr. Christopher says, “Well of ninety percent of all disease comes from an unclean body whose sewer is backed up. A backed up sewer means toxins have accumulated in our body.”

     I recently read a memoir of my nephew who died of cancer 20 years ago at age 19. It was very common for him to hold in his bowel movement for days and days. When he was getting colon hydrotherapy sessions, the therapist talked to him about the fact that holding in the feces is poisoning the body and she wondered if this is why he got cancer. You need to evacuate the bowels when you have the urge, or it will shut down. It is a common problem for a lot of people today.

     Bowels: The bowels absorb nutrients and water we ingest and eliminate the waste that accumulates in our body. Dr. Christopher created the Lower Bowel formula that contains herbs that are laxative, gas relieving, nourishing to correct the movement, and healing. Dr Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula is available in capsules, extract and bulk powder as Fen LB

      “When dealing with longstanding health problems, an extended herbal cleanse is an excellent pathway to follow.” This cleanse focuses on herbs that feed and support our eliminating pathway; the bowels, liver and gallbladder, kidneys, and bloodstream. Dr. Christopher's Herbal Cleansing Kits are available in capsules and extracts.

     Liver: Our liver makes bile to digest fats, stores glucose, modifies fats, stores vitamins and iron, forms blood plasma proteins, breaks down old red blood cells, recycles or eliminates them, and detoxifies substances. Dr. Christopher formulated the Liver-Gallbladder formula to support the liver. It is available in capsules, extract and bulk cut and powder as Barberry LG

     Kidneys: The kidneys aid in excretion of metabolic waste, excess salts, and toxins. They balance the water in the body, balance the pH of our bodily fluids, regulate blood pressure, and regulate red blood cell production. Dr. Christopher’s Kidney formula supports the kidneys and is available in capsules, extract and bulk powder as Junipars.

     Bloodstream: Dr. Christopher said, “Our blood stream is life itself and it is our job to keep it clean and pure so that we can have a good circulatory system for delivering food to the body properly and to carry off the waste materials.” Dr. Christopher’s Blood Stream formula is a wonderful formula to help keep the blood stream clean and functioning properly. Available in capsules, extract, syrup and bulk powder and cut as Red Clover Combination.

Dissolving Kidney Stones and Gall Stones

    Western Botanicals  Stone Dissolve Tea has been a big seller and works great to dissolve all kinds of stones in the body. People will contact me complaining that it didn’t work, and in asking them about how they took it, most often they didn’t follow the program. No surprise here, but you have to take it more than one day for it to work, even for many weeks or months depending on the severity of the problem.

    Stone Dissolve Tea is famous for its action as a dissolvent for calculi (stones). Used as directed it will dissolve stones in the kidneys and entire urinary tract. It will also assist in the removal of gall bladder stones. It sis soothing to inflamed tissue and assists smooth and painless release of the stones. The success of this herbal routine has been documented with pre and post x-rays and has helped many avoid surgery.

Suggested Use:

Day 1: place 4 tablespoons of dry herbs into two 32 oz. glass containers and fill with pure, unfiltered apple juice. Cover and allow to sit overnight refrigerated. The next morning heat one container of liquid to a boil, leaving the second container refrigerated. Allow heated tea to cool, strain and then drink the entire quart throughout the day, along with an additional 32 oz. of purified water throughout the day.

Day 2-3: Bring 2nd quart of liquid to a boil, allow to cool and strain. Consume over the next two days, (16 oz. each day) drinking an additional 32 oz of fresh, unfiltered apple juice on these two days.

Day 4: Do a juice fast by consuming 64 oz. of fresh juice (your choice) and 64 oz. of pure water. Do not eat any foods on this day, only consume the juice and water.

Repeat this program at one week intervals until stones are gone. If pain from stones increases or is prolonged, consultation with a competent healthcare professional is advised.

    We have a close family member who was suffering from Gall Stones and was in immense pain. Surgery was not an option and she called asking for help. We sent her Stone Dissolve Tea along with Western Botanicals Liver/Gall Bladder Formula. She had to follow the stone dissolve program for four weeks straight to get the stones to dissolve. She has changed her diet and is off sugar and other junk foods, takes the Liver/Gall Bladder Formula and says that she is feeling great.

     Another family member is a school teacher and when school started again he decided to cut down on drinking water so he wouldn't have to take so many bathroom breaks. He was hit with kidney stones and started drinking the Stone Dissolve Tea and drinking more water again. He was able to pass the two stones within a few days and has done well since then. He swears he will never stop drinking water and knows the importance of drinking a lot of water every day.

You can order these formulas as well as many others online at Herbs First, or phone in your order 801-228-1901.

Have a great month!

Increase your energy naturally with Western Botanicals Formulas

    Feeling tired can stem from a number of physical, mental, or emotional problems. Lack of sleep, stress, poor diet and depression are common causes for fatigue. Excess weight is a big factor in many illnesses. The more overweight we are, the more energy it requires to do everyday tasks. Exercise can especially be hard for people who are overweight, which leads to less activity.  Exercise sometimes isn't an option because we are too tired to exercise, making this a vicious cycle.

    Here are a few natural things you can do to break the cycle.

Change Your Diet. Get rid of the processed food and replace it with fresh fruits and vegetables.  Eat at least 2 fruits and 6 or more vegetable servings a day.  Eat whole grains, clean meats, and drink two quarts of water every day. Western Botanicals Weightloss formula contains herbs to strengthen the adrenal and thyroid glands, assists digestion and bowel function and supports healthy kidneys. It contains Gymnema leaf which is helpful for curbing sugar cravings. Available in capsules and liquid.

Don't Skip Meals. Eating breakfast encourages your metabolism to get started in the morning. It also encourages your energy level to get your body moving first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Stay adequately hydrated with water, which will also help improve energy throughout the day.

Be Active. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the block in the morning or during your lunch break. Walking is a great way to boost energy, even ten to twenty minutes a day can make a difference. I have found 30 day fitness challenges to be a fun way to work on building my muscles, and since it is using my body, I don’t have to buy equipment or go to a gym. Take up a fun sport, go biking, play tennis, move your body!

Get sufficient sleep. Sufficient sleep will keep you feeling refreshed and alert for the day. Western Botanicals Sweet Dreams formula is a natural, non-narcotic herbal formula that helps to relax the body, mind and spirit allowing you to gently drift into sleep. Appropriate for children and adults, not habit forming and completely non-toxic to the system. Available in capsules and liquid.

Check Your Thyroid. The thyroid gland produces, stores, and releases hormones that regulate your metabolism. A healthy thyroid gland will support strong energy levels. Western Botanicals Thyroid Formula supports normal thyroid function, available in capsules and liquid.

Add Supplements. Earth's Nutrition is a great way to get a good helping of the whole foods you need, in capsules and powder. Western Botanicals Super Adrenal Support liquid and Ginseng Plus Formula are adrenal support herbs which aid our ability to handle stress and reduce fatigue. Available in capsules and liquid.

    The liver is the largest internal organ and handles many bodily functions. Everything we ingest, breathe, or absorb through the skin is processed through the liver. It plays an important role in digestion and metabolism, regulating the production, storage, and release of sugar, fats, and cholesterol. Support healthy liver function with Western Botanicals Liver/Gallbladder Formula. Available in capsules and liquid.

With a few lifestyle changes and added supplements, your body can begin to break out of the fatigue cycle, and you can get back to doing the things you love.

Have a great month!
