Affordable Essential Oils

I first learned about essential oils and aromatherapy over ten years ago from one of the large network marketed essential oil companies. The oils were pretty expensive and I could only afford to use one oil that I really believed in.  Since that time I have seen many more network marketed essential oil companies come into existence and I actually know several people that have built successful incomes from them.  These people are the exception, because there are very few people that make it in these companies.  The ones that do live off of all the people that would like to make it, but just don’t ever seem to get there. 

    Garden Essence Essential Oils was started by a gal who had friends involved in one of these companies.  This woman loves people, loves natural healing and wanted to be able to offer the same quality oils at an affordable price.  She was able to buy from the same quality oil suppliers that the network companies buy from, but since there are no multiple levels of payouts that network companies have, she was able to make her dreams come true to provide the best oils at affordable cost to the public.
   
    I have come to love using Garden Essence Essential Oils, and that one oil that I enjoyed using years ago is available as X-Plague for $13.20 for a 15 ml bottle compared to the other companies same blend for $42.00!  You can get three bottles for less than the cost of one!  Our Digestion costs $13.20 and works so fast - the network companies version $41.50.  The list goes on and on and I am using more oils than I ever have before.  I still feel like I am at the learning stage of things, and find that it is a lot easier to buy and try than it ever was when I belonged to the network company.
   
    I like to add extra Rosemary to my bottle of BF&C Hair and Scalp Massage oil and it seems like I am getting less gray in the area that I use it in.  I enjoy using Grapefruit as well as lemon and lime essential oils in my water.  Grapefruit is cleansing, lemon and lime are good ones to take to restaurants to kill bacteria that may be in the food and protect from food poisoning.  Sometimes I will add stevia to make a sweet drink, though most often I just drink plain water at home.

    My husband and I use Frankincense and Lemongrass mixed into a bottle of Glandular Massage Oil and use it on our thyroid area.  I had radioactive iodine at age 20 and was never told that I shouldn’t be around anyone for a week.  Now my husband’s thyroid function is a bit low as a result of being around a radioactive wife. Of anything I have ever done I sure wish I could go back and not have that done!!  Big mistake.  The essential oil combo we are using over time will help correct things and we of course use the Thyroid Maintenance along with it. 

    The network companies are a treasure trove of success stories of people using the oils.  I like to learn what I can from them and then use our affordable Garden Essence Oils to aid in the healing. We hope that you will give them a try. They are 30% off in May, making them even more affordable. We hope you will enjoy using these wonderful essential oils.  Pricing is good through 11:00 am Mountain Time on May 31.

Raspberry Ketones For Weight Loss and Maintenance

It seems like every few days Dr. Oz is talking about weight loss, I almost find it comical.  It really isn’t a laughing matter to be overweight and some people will go to strange measures to lose weight.  Just today I saw on several news stations reports of women going on a feeding tube for ten days to lose up to 10 to 15 lbs at a cost of $1500.00.  

    I like to use the most natural methods to help me lose and maintain my weight.  Dr. Oz talked about Raspberry Ketones a few months ago and mentioned that it helps burn fat.  Watch the video to learn how it works to help the body shrink the fat cells.  Raspberry Ketones use a weight loss hormone called adiponectin that helps the body want to be thin.  Many people see results fairly quickly, and have found that once they go on them they want to stay on them because it works.

    About a month ago our warehouse sent me a list of new bulk items to add to the website, and I was amazed to find that Raspberry Ketones was one. In searching the internet I found pricing from $10.00 for a bottle of 60, 100 mg. capsules, on up to $50.00 a bottle!  When I looked at what it costs for the Raspberry Ketones I knew we could help people save a lot of money.

    As usual here at Herbs First we have the highest quality products at the most affordable prices. A 4 oz. bag of bulk pure Raspberry Keytones sells for $24.00.  1/4 teaspoon is equal to about 120 mg.  A 4 oz. bag has over 900 servings at one quarter teaspoon each.  You can see that for $24.00 you are getting a huge supply for the money.  We also have an 8 oz. bag for $40.00 and a 16 oz. bag for $64.00.  You can order Raspberry Ketones here.  This is pure Raspberry Ketones, with no additives or fillers.

    I have been taking the Raspberry Ketones for a couple of weeks and I feel like it is making a difference, though I have to say I’m giving it time to really see what it does for me. This is a natural and affordable product that has been shown to shrink the fat cells. Time will tell for me, and I will report later on in the year what my personal findings are.  We wanted to make it available to you, since it is an all-natural product that many people have found works well for them.  Please send us feedback if you decide to try Raspberry Ketones.

    Note that Ketones and Ketone is the same.  On the bag it says Ketone.  Most articles I have seen written say Ketones.  They are one in the same.  Raspberry Ketones mix easily into juice and taste fine just mixed into water.

  Be sure to drink plenty of water while using Raspberry Ketones to help keep things flushed out.  Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and a healthy diet of whole grains and lean protein. Remember that cleansing is always a good idea while losing weight to help the fat to release the toxins, so your body will want to release the fat.

Is your child is still struggling in school?

If your child is still struggling in school I hope that you will try some great formulas that have been helpful for many children as well as adults. Please read the past articles I have written.

Making a Killing The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging. Herbal Formulas to use instead of medication.

Back to school for the ADD/ADHD child & parents

Attention Focus - our top selling formula for ADD/ADHD. Used for Attention Deficit problems where mental focus and clarity are a concern.  Available in capsules, great tasting syrup and alcohol extract.

Mindtrac - Mindtrac is a great alternative to Psychiatric drugs. Useful in treating depression, anxiety, stress and hyperactivity. I like to take it when I wake up in the middle of the night when my “worry machine” is on overdrive.  Use it for the occasional bad day, week, month or year.  This one has been a lifesaver for me!  Available in capsules and as an extract as Kid-e-Trac. 

EFA Blend for children: EFA Blend provides the fluid membrane environment that is needed for proper transmission of brain and nerve signals. The frontal cortex of the brain, which regulates attention span and cognitive processes has been shown to have only 15% of the normal level of DHA when the diet is deficient of these important fatty acids. Nature's Way EFA Blend combines the researched levels of these key essential fatty acids shown to maintain eye and brain function.  Nature’s Way EFA Blend for Children is one of the top selling aids for children with ADD/ADHD.  Available in capsules.

    I have heard from a few mom’s recently that have switched to the protocol for ADD/ADHD . It always makes me happy to hear some success stories when it comes to raising ADD kids. Mom #1 mentions that she gives her son three Attention Focus and two EFA Blend for Children in the morning and after school. They have found them to be of great help as long as his diet is healthy.  They try to make sure he gets plenty of protein, grains, fruits and vegetables. She mentions that her son doesn’t like any green vegetables, so at least two to three times a week he gets a veggie-fruit smoothie.  It is full of fresh spinach, organic spring mix and according to what is on hand such as beet greens, beets, turnip greens, arugula greens, kale etc. They add the fruit and juice to the veggies and he drinks it up.  Her son is taking pre AP classes and is getting A’s and B’s.  He is focusing better and is easier to get along with as long as he takes the supplements.  They are very grateful that the natural herbs and good eating have been so helpful for him.  Prior to the change in diet and adding Attention Focus & EFA Blend for Children he was moody and uncooperative at home, and lacked focus at school. She mentioned that they tried medication for a few days and then felt compelled to look into natural alternatives. I’m glad that they have found our protocol to work so well.

    Mom #2 has had her son on EFA Blend for Children for several years.  She says that she will vary how much he takes from time to time, but has found that for now he does well on 3 capsules twice a day.  The teacher will call and mention that her son is not doing well in school that day.  After checking, Mom notes that her son’s EFA Blend for Children are still in his pill keeper.  Days that he takes EFA Blend he does pretty well in school and at home. It definitely makes a difference!

    Mom #3 has had her daughter on Attention Focus for over three years and finds that it really helps her to get through the school year.

What color is your calcium?

Everyone knows calcium is white, right?  The kind of calcium that your body can use is actually green.  If you have been eating white calcium your whole life you may now have calcifications in your body.  Inorganic calcium will deposit into your joints, form kidney stones and gall stones  because your body can’t use that kind of calcium.  Pretty sad to think that you have been eating something that you thought was good for you and is actually harming you. Then to top it all off Dr. Christopher taught us that sugars, pastries, soft and alcoholic beverages, white breads, candies, etc., leach the calcium out of the body, causing varicose veins, cramps, Charlie horses, loss of teeth, nervous upsets, etc.  That is really upsetting if you are having any of these problems.

    Now for the good news, switching to the right kind of calcium can reverse these problems.  Where do you find the right kind of calcium?  The type that can be assimilated is from herbs, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. In other words, from real food, not the food that is fortified in the process of manufacturing, but eating it in the form it was originally grown.

    Dr. Christopher formulated a wonderful calcium blend called Herbal Calcium.  Dr. Christopher recommend herbal calcium for teething babies, pregnant women, people with varicose veins, people with nerve issues, migraines, broken bones, insomnia and more.  You can read more about it on the Herbal Legacy website.

    Here at Herbs First we carry the full line of Dr. Christopher products.  Herbal Calcium comes in capsules, extract, as Kid-e-Calc for children, and in bulk as Calc Tea.  For people that want to save even more and get a larger amount we have the kit where you buy one of each of the individual herbs and mix them together to get the correct formulation. You will end up with 3.5 lbs of Herbal Calcium for $65.00 by mixing it yourself.  This amount will last my husband and I about six months and we blend it in with our Jurassic Green and drink it down.  Note that you want to be able to use bulk herbs within a year of opening them. 

  Dr. Christopher has been teaching these principles since the 1940’s.  His booklet The Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet is free with a $50.00 herb order.  Put in the coupon code 99104 at checkout.

    Dr. Christopher always taught people that proper diet is what will keep them healthy.  He was a pioneer in his day to bring this knowledge to people. Today there are many more people that teach about eating a plant based diet to maintain health and vitality.  You have the opportunity to watch a free online video Hungry For Change. I watched it this morning and everyone needs to be aware of what is wrong with our food supply.

    One third of women and 1/4 of men in the United States are either overweight or obese.  These figures have been going up every year and it is puzzling that people don’t understand why.  People are eating “food like” products but they are the wrong kinds of foods and they are starving on a nutritional basis.  Their bodies keep telling them they are hungry because their body isn’t getting the nutrition it needs, so they eat more and more of these “foods” and are overfed and starving to death. 

    Addiction is the biggest reason for obesity. It is a chain reaction when you eat chemically laden foods that make the food taste good but have an addictive component to it.  MSG excites the brain and activates the body to store fat. Listed are some of the hidden names of MSG to look for.  Please avoid eating foods that have any of these MSG's in them:

Glutamic acid, Monosodium glutamate, Monopotassium glutamate, Calcium glutamate, Monoammonium glutamate, Magnesium glutamate, Natrium glutamate, Yeast extract, Anything “hydrolyzed”, Any “hydrolyzed protein”, Calcium caseinate,  Sodium caseinate, Yeast food, Yeast nutrient, Autolyzed yeast, Gelatin, Textured protein, Soy protein, soy protein concentrate, Soy protein isolate, Whey protein, whey protein concentrate, Whey protein isolate, Vetsin, and more.

    Fat free foods are full of chemicals and sugar to make them taste good.  Sugar is in many of the prepared foods that are available today.  Sugar causes insulin to be produced in the body to deal with all the sugar.  Insulin tells the body to store fat.  Most people eat over 150 lbs of sugar a year because it is in everything!  More sugar = more chronic disease.  Prepared foods are cheap to produce, the manufacturers don’t care about your health, they only care about making a profit and making sure you keep buying their product.

    Sugar is a drug and you keep having to eat more and more of it to get your  “sugar high”.  Food kills more people than all the drugs combined. The food manufacturers don’t care if you are sick and fat and miserable, they just want you to keep buying their “food” - they are getting rich off of your addiction.

    The good news is, plant foods are healing, detoxifying and highly nutritious. Your body is designed to be healthy.  Health is the natural state. If we let our body do what it is meant to do in an environment where all the foods are healthy choices, we can live without fear of weight gain and degenerative disease. 

    Dr. Christopher has been teaching these principles since the 1940’s.  His booklet The Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet is free with a $50.00 herb order.  Put in the coupon code 99104 at checkout.

Western Botanicals Deep Heat Ointment, Sweet Relief in a Bottle

    I’ve had a crazy few years trying to get help with a lower back issue.  Last August I went to a several Chiropractors, trying to find one that could help with the problem.  In getting the adjustments my whole back was thrown out and I was in pain for several months due to the correction that was taking place.  I took hot baths to relax the muscles but needed something that would help me the rest of the day because I couldn’t be in the tub all the time.  I got Western Botanicals Deep Heat Ointment and put it on my back, as well as on my shoulders and neck.  It was so nice and relaxing and helped me sleep so well at night!  Deep Heat Ointment quickly became my friend and it will be one I always have in my home. 

    Deep Heat Ointment is a combination of Western Botanicals Deep Heat Oil and their Complete Tissue Repair Ointment all in one bottle.  We sell the generously sized 5 oz. jar for only $13.00.   The herbs, oils and essential oils in this ointment works deep in the tissues to penetrate, warm and soothe sprains, strains, arthritis, bursitis, tendentious, muscle aches, joint pain and more.  I’m sure it will become a mainstay in your home too!
   
    I also used Christopher’s Complete Tissue and Bone Formula capsules, three capsules three times a day to aid in healing.  I’m happy to say that I am doing great now.  The problem we finally found via x-ray was that I had a cocked vertebrae.  There was no way this would have healed on its own and the five years that I searched for help and had different therapies did very little for me.  I’m happy I finally found a chiropractor that x-rayed it and found and fixed the problem.  It sure feels great to feel good again!

Eat Coconut Oil, it is the Heatlhy Oil!

The gallon sized coconut oil finally came back in stock in mid December. Coconut Oil got a bad rap for a while since it is a saturated fat, but it is actually one of the healthiest oils you can eat. Your body doesn’t store this oil, it uses it for energy, so it is a great one for people wanting to lose weight.  It has greatly helped my dry eye problems that often turned into eye infections.  I used to have a lot of brain fog and that has cleared up as well.  I eat a tablespoon twice a day on top of using it in my cooking, baking and on my veggies.

Research and clinical observation have shown that medium-chain fatty acids, like those found in coconut oil, may help prevent and treat a wide range of diseases.  Use at least three tablespoons a day in place of other oils.  The following list is a shortened list of some of the health benefits of coconut oil:

Supports the development of strong bones and teeth.

Protects against osteoporosis.

Promotes loss of excess weight

Kills viruses that cause mono, influenza, hepatitis C, measles, herpes, AIDS, and other illnesses.

Reduces severity of problems associated with malabsorption syndrome and cystic fibrosis.

Relieves symptoms associated with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and stomach ulcers.

Reduces chronic inflammation.

Relieves symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Kills bacteria that cause pneumonia, earache, throat infections, dental cavities, food poisoning, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, and dozen of other diseases.

Kills fungi and yeast that cause candida, jock itch, ringworm, athlete’s foot, thrush, diaper rash, and other infections.

Relieves dryness and flaking.Prevent damaging effects of UV radiation from the sun such as wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots.

Does not form harmful by-products when heated to normal cooking temperature like other vegetable oils do.

Has no harmful or discomforting side effects.

Is completely non-toxic to humans.

Top Goal for 2012 - Lose Weight!

---

    The new year is here and if you are one of the many people with weight loss at the top of your list, you need to know that we have a few products that can help you make that goal. We still have the hCG ezTrim available and I feel it is one of the best weight loss tools I have ever used.  I never thought I would be able to lose the weight until I used hCG ezTrim.  Unfortunately the FDA has decided that they want it off the market, so for a very limited time we still have some available.  You can learn about the diet it to decide if this product is right for you.  I love this diet, the weight loss is very fast when you follow it. Stock up now before it is gone.

    Natural Edge Fat Burners are an additional 10% off of our already discounted price.  This product has all natural sweeteners and it is a great way to get protein without the extra calories.  If you are doing Weight Watchers the Vanilla Fat Burner is only 3 points made as directed with water.  The Chocolate Fat Burner is 4 points, and let me tell you, if you need your chocolate fix, this one hits the spot.  I like to make my shakes with coconut milk, which only adds 1 point, and makes a richer creamy consistency that is incredible.  I like to add a banana to the chocolate and strawberries or other berries to the vanilla for a nice treat.  If you are going to use a shake to aid in weight loss or help you maintain your weight, then this is the one you want because of the all natural ingredients.  The extra sale this month makes it that much more affordable.  

    Western Botanicals Weight Loss Formula builds and strengthens the glands and organs of the body allowing for optimal function and optimal weight.  I find that it helps decrease the sugar cravings as well as curbing hunger.  It helps me on those days that I have the munchies, helps me get back in control and stick to my goals.  Available in capsules, alcohol extract and syrup.

    Christopher’s Metaburn Herbal Weight Loss Formula is a synergistic blend of whole herbs designed to assist the body in burning calories (fat burners) while controlling the appetite and hunger pains. This thermogenic formula has a stimulant effect, as well as cleansing with cleansing herbs and strengthening the digestive system. When losing weight the body gets depleted of vital nutrients. While most thermogenic fat burner formulas deplete the body of vital nutrition, Metaburn supplies the essential vitamins and minerals needed for proper body function.  Available in capsules and bulk powder.

    Christopher’s Appetite Formula acts as a blood purifier, aids kidneys in relieving excess fluids, feeds the body for relief from nervous tension generally caused by diets, appeases the appetite, feeds the thyroid and other malfunctioning glands and thus gains a healthier state for holding weight control. Any of the three herbal formulas will be a great addition to your weight loss plan.  Available in capsules.

    We wish you much success in 2012 in reaching your healthy weight goals!
