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!

Lung and Bronchial formula - are you breathing well?

    I have been struggling with coughing the last few months on my bike rides, and it got really bad with all the smoke from the fires that have been happening in the western part of the United States. I don’t know why I didn’t think to use Dr. Christopher’s Lung & Bronchial Formula, but when I finally did it cleared it up fast. I have had lung issues in the past and it always helped to keep them clear and strong. With breathing in the smoke lately and winter on its way I'm going to stay on Lung & Bronchial formula for a while to make sure my lungs stay strong.

    Lung & Bronchial formula contains herbs that have been used historically to help relieve irritation in the respiratory tract, lungs and bronchial system. This is an aid for emphysema as well as other bronchial and lung congestions such as bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, etc. This formula is extremely valuable in strengthening and healing the entire respiratory tract. It promotes the discharge of mucous secretions from the bronchopulmonary passages. Thus, it helps to clear the oxygen passageways. Dr. Christopher's Lung & Bronchial formula nourishes the lungs & supports the respiratory system. Available in capsules, extract and bulk as Resp-Free powder.

Using Lung & Bronchial for Hayfever

    I have used Lung and Bronchial Formula for many years and it is one that I have reached for often. This hay fever season  I keep getting phlegm in my throat, where I am coughing and clearing my throat often, as well as being stuffy.  I decided to see if Lung and Bronchial would take care of all of these symptoms. I have been taking it for three weeks now and have been pleasantly surprised by the fact that Lung & Bronchial breaks up the phlegm, and clears my nose as well. I am no longer coughing or have that choking feeling I sometimes get when the phlegm is thick and sticky.  This formula keeps the lungs and bronchial system clear and is very useful to people with Asthma, Bronchitis, Tuberculosis, CPOD and Hayfever! Order Lung and Bronchial capsules, extract or bulk as Resp-Free.

    For the uncontrollable itchiness that hits me in my throat, nose, eyes and ears, I still take Immucalm, which has always worked wonders for that symptom. These are two great natural products that aren’t going to make you sleepy or affect you adversely in any other way.  I love that I can take care of myself with herbs. Herbs are affordable and the only side affects are the ones that they are used for!  Order Immucalm capsules today!

    Quite a few people have been asking for the HCG for weight loss lately.  We still have a small supply, you will have to call to place an order for it.  Feel free to call me if you have any questions about any of the products we carry.  801-228-1901.

Have a great month!

Herbal Formula for Healing the Lungs

    I like to listen to Dr. Christopher’s Herb Lectures when I am running errands and I have learned a lot over the years.  It is interesting how something he says will click when you know someone that can be helped with the information.  Dr. Christopher was talking about healing the lungs and gave a formula for it.  I had to stop the car to write it down.  When I got back to my computer I was curious if it was the Lung and Bronchial Formula and it was.  The only change is what we sell in prepared form no longer has the comfrey in it.  He stated that this formula can heal the lungs of any problem.  He also mentioned to take 2 - 3 cups of Western Botanicals comfrey root tea every day to greatly aid in the healing.

    COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe.  It is a disease that the drug companies are targeting lately, and I have seen many commercials for drugs for this illness.  I know two people that have this disease, one was a smoker and the other’s lungs were damaged due to acid reflux. Hopefully they can rebuild their lungs with this wonderful formula.

    Dr. Christopher always advises people to cleanse when they are dealing with a serious health issues, as well as follow Dr Christopher's Mucusless Diet.  You can learn about this as well as information on healing just about any disease on the Herbal Legacy website.

    Dr Christopher's Lung & Bronchial is available in vegicaps & glycerine extract.  The original formula is available in bulk powder by its original name of Respfree and contains: Comfrey root, Mullein leaves, Chickweed, Marshmallow root and Lobelia. This combination of herbs has been used historically to help relieve irritation in the respiratory tract, lungs and bronchial system. This is an aid for emphysema as well as other bronchial and lung congestions such as bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, etc. This formula is extremely valuable in strengthening and healing the entire respiratory tract. It promotes the discharge of mucous secretions from the bronchopulmonary passages. Thus, it helps to clear the oxygen passageways.

    I love taking care of myself and my family with natural medicine. Problems can be treated  quicker, and natural medicine is affordable and it works!

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.

Herbs for Allergies and Hayfever Season

Allergy Season started early due to a milder winter this year and that is not good news for people that struggle with seasonal allergies.  I am one of those people.  I sometimes feel like I must have done something really really bad at some time in my life to be punished with this!  It is truly a horrible thing to go through. I am figuring out what works for me even though I end up having a few of those days that I would like to just die.  Those of you that have allergies likely have days like that too!  Not fun.

    A few years ago the Neti Pots were all the rage on the talk shows and it cracked me up to see this procedure done on so many shows.  Add a small scoop of salt to the pot and add water and rinse each nostril - I add xyletol to the salt which helps to kill bacteria.  It sounds pretty strange to let water run from one side of your nose and out the other, but if you haven’t tried this then you may be missing out on a big piece of the puzzle for allergy and sinus sufferers. I’m amazed at the difference in my sinus health, this is something I was a bit wishy-washy on for awhile, but I am hooked and sticking with it now. Before using it daily I would have one Eustachian tube that would clog up and affect my hearing, but that is not the case anymore.  It only takes a couple of minutes a day and is very affordable to do.  So if you have allergies and sinus issues this is something that is well worth adding in to your daily routine.  Note that tap water in some areas have bacteria in it, so it may be best to boil the water or use distilled water.

    A lot of people will be happy to know that Christopher’s Sinus Plus Formula is back in stock.  Sinus Plus works as a decongestant and natural antihistamine to dry up the sinuses and clear up the allergies.  If you are looking for natural relief, you have found it.  Available in capsules and extract.

    Immucalm is one I use throughout allergy season, it calms the “itchies” wheather it is in your throat or your eyes.  My eyes were super itchy last night and I took some Immucalm as I was going to bed.  It wasn’t long before I felt the itchiness just drift away.  I slept well and woke up feeling great, what a relief! Immucalm is available in capsules and extract as Kid-e-Soothe. 

    Lung and Bronchial is one that I need on those days that I’m coughing and have mucus in my throat which is common for people with allergies.  Lung & Bronchial is wonderful for people with asthma to keep the lungs clear on an every day basis.  I use it during allergy season as well as the winter months to keep my lungs heatlhy.  Available in capsules.

    There are some days that the allergies make me very tired and lethargic and this is due to the body fighting so hard so overcome the problem.  Those are the days to take some extra Adrenal formula.  I always take it in the morning, but will add a dose between 1:00 - 2:00 in the afternoon to help me get through the day.  This is also my favorite to take on vacation to help overcome jet-lag.  Available in capsules.

    Since we have been out of Christopher’s Sinus Plus I had the opportunity to try Western Botanicals Allergy formula and Sinus Allergy Formula.  People are different and some things work better than others, but I have found that their Sinus Allergy Formula works very well for me. It’s always nice to know if we are out of stock on Christopher’s that Western Botanicals Formulas do a great job.  Both formulas are available in capsules, alcohol extract and syrup.

    Allergies hit my eyes extra hard due to the fact that I have dry eyes.  This has not been a fun thing to have and I have been working for years on my diet and herbal supplements to figure out what I need to take care of this problem.  Recently in talking about Nature’s Way EFA Blend for Children that we suggest for ADD/ADHD kids, I noticed that it is for Eye and Brain Function.  I decided that I would start taking this and see if it would make any difference in my eyes.  I started it a month ago, which is when my allergies were first manifesting themselves.  I am quite amazed at the difference it has been to my eyes.  I had been taking them twice a day, but lately have found that I do better taking it three times a day.  I have to use lots of eye drops during the day and night to keep my eyes hydrated enough, and am finding with the EFA Blend that I am not needing to use the eye drops as often.  The oils in the blend are anti-inflammatory, inflammation is a big part of the dry eye issue.  I look forward to seeing what this will continue to do for my eyes, so far I am very impressed.  Available in capsules.

    If you struggle with seasonal allergies I hope that you will enjoy using some of these great formulas.  You can order online at Herbs First or call in an order at 801-228-1901.

More formulas to stock in your herb cabinet

Last weeks blog was about some great basic formulas to stock in your herb cabinet. When you have success using herbs then you are ready to learn more and stock additional formulas for your health and wellness. I can’t begin to tell you how great it is to be able to open up my cabinet to pick out what I need at any given time. It is well worth it to have herbs on hand when you need them and this is a great month to stock up on Christopher's formulas while they are 40% off.

Adrenal Formula - it took me awhile to figure out how I feel when I need the Adrenal Formula, it is when you are exhausted like when you have been burning the candle at both ends. I think this describes a lot of people, so if you can identify with this, put this one in the cupboard and use it.

Attention Focus - I love this formula, this is a Western Botanicals formula and when we added their formulas to the website this formula was one of the reasons. Attention Focus is available in syrup which is great for kids, alcohol extract and capsules. I reach for Attention Focus when I am having one of those ADD days and I’m sure everyone has one from time to time, flitting from one project to another and not making any progress on anything. I understand more about my ADD son when I have a day like that. A great formula for people with ADD or occasional ADD.

Blood Circulation Formula - This is for High or low blood pressure. Last year when I was under a lot of stress and the usual formulas weren’t working I realized that I had high blood pressure. This formula has brought it down to where it should be and I feel great.

Female Reproductive & Hormonal Changease - a must have for all women. There are many articles on women’s issues on the Herbal Legacy website and most often one or both of these formulas are what is recommended. You will be happy you have it when you need it. Hormonal Changease is a must have for us gals that are getting older to help us age gracefully and go through menopause with ease.

Lung & Bronchial - This formula is extremely valuable in strengthening and healing the entire respiratory tract. I take this one all winter to keep my lungs strong and clear. A good choice for asthma sufferers.

Mindtrac - for a bad day, week, month or year, Mindtrac is a great alternative to Psychiatric drugs. I never would have thought that I would need a formula like this and can’t even relate how great this formula is. This is a must have for those hard times, and everyone has hard times. Great great formula!

Pancreas Formula - for diabetes as well as hypoglycemia. I have had a lot of feed back from people with diabetes getting off insulin. A friend that is diabetic was struggling with affording the medication and was amazed at how affordable the Pancreas Formula is and how well it works. The natural way is always better.

Relax-Eze - This one has been a lifesaver for me over the years. Dr. Christopher talks about it being for frayed nerves and I can attest to the fact that this is very calming on the nerves. I’ve also used it for nerve damage when a shot at the dentist affected some nerves, it was the only thing that would do anything for the pain which took a full six months to heal. Great for sleep problems too.

Slumber or Sweet Dreams - nice to have something on hand for those nights when you just can’t get to sleep. Mindtrac is a great on too if you just can’t turn your brain off at night. I find it helpful to switch products every few nights when I am having sleep problems.

Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green - Vitalerbs is a synergistic blend of popular whole nutritional food for the body. Jurassic Green is packed full of phyto-nutrients, whole food vitamins, trace minerals, active enzymes, chlorophyll, balanced amino acids and other important nutrients needed by the body. Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green is a great way to help maintain good health.

I could go on and on and if you look at the photo of my herb cabinet it is full of great herbal formulas. Here are the links to the Christopher Catalog and Western Botanicals Catalog. I encourage you to print them out and mark the formulas that would be beneficial to your family and then work towards filling your herb cabinet.

January - a good time for a 3 day cleanse

I live in a very beautiful state, but in the winter we get what is called a temperature inversion where it is warmer in the higher elevations which traps the pollution in the lower elevations. We experience this every winter and the air quality gets so bad that at times the news reports are telling people to not do things outside if they don’t need to. My husband and I like to go on walks in spite of the cold weather, but after a few days of breathing the guk we could both feel it in our lungs and decided to not walk until the weather changes. We take the Lung and Bronchial all winter to help keep our lungs clear and then in this weather we add either the Infection Formula or the Anti Plague capsules. Luckily neither one of us has gotten sick and I credit it to the fact that we always have the herbs on hand that we may need.

I have talked to a lot of sick people lately and I think it is because after two months of indulgence people’s immune systems are shot. If you are one of these people a good way to turn things around is with a three day cleanse. Here is an excerpt taken from the Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet by Dr. John R. Christopher.

“Supreme cleanliness is the first step toward a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.

The retention of body waste has an insidious effect on our health than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress.

To begin the three day cleansing program, the individual is required to undergo three days of detoxification therapy, then proceed with the mucusless diet:

First thing in the morning upon arising, drink 16 ounces or more of prune juice (unsweetened, if possible). The prune juice is not primarily to empty the bowels, which it will do, but rather to draw into the intestines from every part of the body such toxic matter or body waste as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels.

After beginning with the sixteen ounces of prune juice, within one half hour take an eight ounce glass of undiluted apple juice. Swish each mouthful thoroughly (called chewing). Then, 30 minutes later drink a glass of plain water (preferably distilled), followed 30 minutes later with more apple juice.

The general procedure is: 16 oz. of prune juice first thing in the morning, then, 8 oz. of apple juice 30 minutes later, and 8 oz. of distilled water after that; repeating the juice and distilled water each 30 minutes throughout the day. One gallon of apple juice is consumed each day for an average size adult, or one ounce per pound of body weight. (This of course is an approximate and suggested dosage, as age, ability to hold liquids, etc., determine the capacity for each specific case.)

Breaking up the mucus during the juice cleanse generally causes constipation throughout the three days. Use more prune juice or take Dr. Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula.

Repeat this detoxification for 3 consecutive days. Thus, approximately three gallons of mucus and catarrh will have been eliminated and will have been replaced by three gallons of juice. This has resulted in speeding up the re-alkalinizing of the system.

During the three-day cleanse, take one or two tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver ducts, etc.

On the fourth and subsequent days, we begin taking vegetable and fruit juices, along with raw fruits and vegetables. Then follow the mucusless diet as close as possible. Do not be concerned if you feel weak during or after this detoxification. Our bodies are using the energies for internal housecleaning, soon an increase of energy will occur as a result of a cleaner healthier body.”
