Little bottle of herbs saves a trip to the hospital

Essential oils are affordable and easy to use!

My last entry was about how great I am doing using the Fenugreek for my hot flashes. I don’t have hot flashes at all anymore and stay a nice even temperature all day and all night long. Sweet relief! Since I take so much I can go through a bottle of capsules pretty fast so with the bulk on sale this month I decided to see what it was like just mixing it in water. I started with a level teaspoon and it upset my stomach if I took it on an empty stomach. I have found that I do well on 3/4 of a teaspoon two to three times a day. I sometimes don’t get a dose in the middle of the day and have done fine, no flashes. If I feel like I am too warm then I remember that I need to take it, but I have had none of the hot flashes that are so uncomfortable.

Since the essential oils are on sale this month I decided to be adventurous and order some oils I have never tried before. I got the Digestion blend and when I got the stomach ache from the Fenugreek I rubbed the Digestion Essential Oil on my stomach. Within ten minutes I was completely better and went on with my day. Last night I had the same problem with the Fenugreek on an empty stomach before I went to bed, so I rubbed it on my stomach and went to sleep. This morning my husband mentioned the lightening storm that we had last night, and I said, we had a lightening storm? Everyone was talking about it on Facebook, so it must have been quite a storm that I entirely slept through! I’m going to have to remember to use Digestion the next time I have trouble getting to sleep.

I got the No Mo Pain in the roller ball as well as the 15 ml bottle so I can remix it myself. I love this blend, I’ve mainly used it for muscle pain the last two weeks and look forward to using it for other problems. It works fast and smells great!

X-Plague has been a favorite of mine since we added the oils to the site. With school starting soon, this would be a great one to use to keep the immune system up and protect the kids from all the germs out there. I like to mix 60 drops in with a bottle of the Glandular Massage Oil and put it on the tonsil area of the throat. That would be an easy thing to do every morning before the kids head out to school Mixed in with the Glandular Oil it will last a long time and be a great value for the money and for keeping the kids and yourself healthy!

My son loves the smell of Lemon Oil and when he was young he would have a bottle of Lemon Essential Oil in his pocket and get it out and smell it when he felt like it. Lemon Essential Oil is a stimulant to brain and helps to clears thoughts and aids concentration. Being that he is ADD I guess that he felt this without realizing it was helping him. I wish I had known about Vetiver back then, what a great pure essential oil for ADD/ADHD kids it has turned out to be!

I bought a few other blends and haven’t had the need to use them yet, but I look forward to seeing what they can do for me. I like how fast and effective pure essential oils are. I bought some for my niece to use for herself and kids and she is having great results too.

We sell Garden Essence Essential oils, they are pure therapeutic grade oils, the best available Compare them to any of the network marketing oils, ours are affordably priced at a fraction of the cost.

Clearing up an Acidic System

This time last year was very stressful for me when my father passed away and dealing with all that comes with the passing of the second parent. For many months before he died I was on Mindtrac and I have continued to stay on it due to the stress that we continue to go through since the loss of my husbands job 16 months ago with his going back to school.

It is funny how our bodies will react to stress in different ways and it is up to us to figure out what to do about it. My family has way too much going on these last few weeks of the year and this weekend my body let me know in a quite uncomfortable way. My system became quite acidic and anything I ate just didn’t set well with quite distressful consequences. I was popping capsules of Soothing Digestion, but it just wasn’t doing the job because the distress started above the stomach and all through my whole system. I finally started taking spoonfuls of Slippery Elm & Licorice that I had left over from the candida program. It only took a few days of drinking it in water to repair the damage and get me feeling good again. It is the same formula as the Soothing Digestion, but since the problem was starting above my stomach it wasn’t doing the job. This little combo is a great one to have on hand for diarrhea, acidic stomach, etc. Use 75% Slippery Elm and 25% Licorice Root found in the single bulk section at Herbs First. The Licorice Root adds a nice flavor and this combo is so soothing you feel it working just about as soon as you get it into your system. Had I gone to the doctor for this problem I would have been put on an acid-reflux medication. Nice to take care of it at home and have it all better in a few days. Had medication been prescribed I likely would have gone on for quite some time if not years without the result that was given me in just a few days with the herbs.

I love learning about herbs and being able to take care of myself and my family. Having a good variety of herbs and formulas on hand helps me to be prepared to take care of problems when they happen. I find natural medicine to be quicker and cheaper and best of all it works!

Herbal Formulas for Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Crohn's Disease

There are many people suffering from Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Crohn's Disease who haven’t gotten the help that they need from the medical doctors. Two wonderful herbs for healing this type of problem are Slippery Elm & Licorice Root. The bulk powder is a great way to use these herbs, order twice as much Slippery Elm as Licorice, such as 8 oz. Slippery Elm and 4 oz. Licorice root. Combine them and then add it to water, mix with a stick blender and drink down. The taste isn’t bad and drinking this three or more times a day is going to have an amazing affect on the whole system, from the throat all the way through till it comes out the other end. Two different formulas are available with these herbs in it for these ailments: Soothing Digestion or Colon Comfort, the capsules are easier to take on trips or at work or on the go. These formulas are a real life saver and a must have for people dealing with these horrible diseases.

Another thing that needs to happen is a change in diet and sadly enough the majority of the people aren’t willing to make that change. I know because I have lost family members, friends and neighbors to a variety of diet caused diseases, and most of them would not make the effort to change. Dr. Christopher’s Mucusless Diet is the recommended diet, I’m not totally there yet, but I have come a long way over the years. At minimum look at your diet and start changing out the bad foods for their healthy replacement. Over time you will notice how much better you feel eating on this plan. Daniel’s Challenge website has many free videos to teach you how easy it is to eat more raw healthy foods.

Do you need Gas-Eze or Soothing Digestion???

My answer to Do you need Gas-Eze or Soothing Digestion??? is that you need to have both formulas on hand. I bought the Gaz-Eze
or the first time a little over a year ago and it has just sat in my cupboard since then. A few weeks ago my son’s gut was suddenly quite painful and he said he thought it was gas. I got out the formula and said, here try some Gas-Eze. He said he would be fine and walked away, only to come back an hour later asking to try it. He took it, the problem settled down and he woke up fine in the morning. About the same time the next day my gut started hurting and after a few minutes of excruciating pain I took some Gas-Eze. It started to settle down after about fifteen minutes and I was fine within the hour. It must have been some weird bug. I can definitely say that Gas-Eze did what it was meant to do, eze the gas.

Both Gas-Eze and Soothing Digestion contain one herb in common, Slippery Elm. Slippery Elm has always been well known as a great herb for intestinal issues. I like to use it if I am acidic or have diarrhea or if my stomach is just upset. The Slippery Elm and Licorice are a great little duo of herbs for healing anything from leaky gut syndrome, repairing the ravages of Candida and even ulcers. I like to keep the bulk powder on hand and mix it with water, 2 parts of Slippery Elm to 1 part Licorice. The Licorice makes it quite tasty, though I do not mind Slippery Elm alone, and if that is all you have it does a wonderful job. The capsules are handy to have when traveling or when you just don’t feel like slurping down the powdered herbs. I have found that it will correct an uncomfortable situation pretty quickly, and for more intense problems, taken throughout the day, usually by the next morning things are back to normal. For more sever problems such as leaky gut, ulcers and candida it needs to be taken for a longer period of time, but well worth the investment to clear up those issues.
