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!

The Flu of 2013

I have been rather proud of myself that I have stayed healthy for so many years. I don’t know what happened this year, but I joined the flu club and it was no fun at all.  I decided to use some essential oils internally to see if that would help me to kick it faster. Along with Anti-Plague capsules and Lung and Bronchial I took Oregano, X-Plague and Respiratory Problems, about 3 drops of each in an empty capsule about three times a day. Oregano boosts immune system to fight infection, cold and flu. Respiratory Problems blend is used for pneumonia, upper respiratory problems, and especially useful for viral infections.  X-Plague is highly anti-viral and antiseptic to help protect the body from the onset of flu. I used the X-Plague/Glandular combo on my neck, feet and chest as well. I kicked it in a day, the day after I felt great and went on with life, but then relapsed on the third day which was much worse than the first. Not fun.

   The first night I woke up in the middle of the night with that heaviness in my chest that says, you are in trouble!! laid in bed for a few minutes thinking about the herbs that I have and what would be best to knock it out of my chest fast. I remembered that I had a bottle of Herbal Antiseptic which contains many of nature's finest and most potent natural germ and bacteria fighters: Myrrh gum, Goldenseal root, White Oak bark, Olive leaf, Garlic bulb, Plantain leaf, Black Walnut hull, Habanero Cayenne pepper, Tea Tree essential oil. Herbal Antiseptic formula kills germs on contact and protects wounds from infection and is intended for external use, but I felt like I needed to take it for my lungs.  I put a dropperful into an empty capsule and took 2 capsules of Lobelia with it to help loosen up the phlegm.  Within an hour I was coughing up the gunk and the heaviness went away.  It kept trying to get into my lungs, so I kept taking it for a few days to help me get over it along with the Adrenal Formula to help build up my energy.

   This is one nasty flu bug going around and I sure am grateful to have so many good herbs and oils to help me get over it faster. Essential Oils are 30% off this month, a great time to stock up and save on your favorite essential oils.
