I buy most of my herbal products from Mountain Rose Herbs. They have an amazing supply of organic herbs, tinctures, capsules, essential oils, and so much more. Herbs can be bought in small quantities or ordered in bulk (a great way to save even more dollars and helpful to do with friends). The prices are very reasonable and they offer great customer service. I have always been happy with my products.
Mountain Rose herbs also offers a monthly newsletter full of great information and recipes. Here is a copy of this months. I am looking forward to making a few herbal sleep pillows to cozy up to this winter and trying the curried sweet potato soup. The newsletter is free, so sign up!

Miscarriage
Sadly, I suffered a miscarriage and subsequent D&C last week, thus the lack of posting once again. I thought I would take some time to share some remedies that have physically and emotionally helped me through the recovery process.
*Recovery Tea: I have been making a daily recovery tea. It has consisted of these herbs: red raspberry leaf (this I put in daily), alternate days with either nettle or oatstraw, lemon balm (used daily), and cinnamon. The red raspberry is a uterine tonic and helps to balance hormones - I have been surprised how quickly my post-op bleeding has been tapering down (I actually started drinking this right when I found out I had miscarried). Nettle and oatstraw are very nourishing, nutrient rich herbs which help with the healing process. Lemon balm is a nervine; it calms the nervous system and helps balance emotions. Cinnamon is a circulatory aid and will help the circulate blood to the uterus to encourage the healing process. I will continue this tea for about 3-4 weeks post-op.
*Vitex: I have made a simple tea with vitex berries. I drink a cup daily Vitex can take about 3 months to really kick in, but it is an excellent hormone balancer, working on the endocrine system to obtain balance. It does not contain hormones.
*Milk Thistle Tincture: Milk thistle seed is an amazing herb that can heal and actually help to regenerate nerve tissue. I have been taking this daily to help protect my liver from all the medications it was exposed to during surgery and to help support it as it is processing all the extra hormones in my system.
*Partridgeberry: I have ordered some of this herb and will start it as soon as it arrives. It's a great complement to raspberry leaf and can be brewed with my recovery tea. It also helps to balance the reproductive system.
*Chamomile: This tea I brewed the first few nights post-op to help me sleep. I made sure to use loose flower heads and it was a wonderful sleep aid.
*Blood purifying mix: In a few weeks when I am feeling better, I will be adding a daily does of tea that has yellow dock root, burdock root, and dandelion root. This combo will continue to help support the liver process and rid my body of extra hormones. It's also a good blood purifying mix.
*Homeopathics: I have been using a number of homeopathics including arnica montana (helps reduce soreness and bruising), hypericum perf. (helps with nerve injury), pulsatilla (helps balance emotions), Wise's Pain Tablets #417 (helps with hypersensitivity to pain and emotion), and a number of Bach Flower Remedies to help with emotions and stress; rescue remedy, aspen, hornbeam, olive, and mimulus. I think the first two remedies really helped control pain as I only needed one ibuprofen follow my surgery. I was surprised by the lack of discomfort I had. I started the homeopathic remedies the day before the surgery.
*Noni Lavender Lotion: one of my all time favorite remedies. I rubbed this on all the sore muscles after surgery including my back, tummy, and neck. The evening after surgery, I started having tingling in my face, probably from how they positioned my neck while the procedure was done. I rubbed this lotion on the tingling areas and within a few hours they were gone.
*Rest: I was blessed to have my mom here for the first 6 days. I tried to avoid the stairs at all costs and staying off my feet as much as I could. This has helped so much. I am also avoiding any heavy lifting, including my toddler for a few weeks.
*Supplements: I continue to take a blood builder to keep me from becoming anemic; it also includes kelp which helps to balance hormones. I take cod liver oil and an adrenal supplement. I have continued my green's mix and colostrum. I have added wild bee pollen which helps with immunity and balancing the reproductive system. I also have continued with my liquid B supplement and have added to that a green tea nano supplement.
*Bone Broths: I have been taking homemade chicken broth or beef broth daily, as these are great sources of nutrients and aid in the healing process.
*Accupuncture: I will be starting up some accupuncture in a week, which I did before and during my first pregnancy which bore me my wonderful and precious son.
Thank you for your patience as I have not been able to keep up with my posting schedule. I hope to resume my normal posting schedule in a few weeks.

Herbal Remedies and Supplements I Keep on Hand for my Child
There are a number of great herbal supplements that can be used for children, often in lieu of conventional medicine. Many can be used for children as young as one. Here is a list of what I keep on hand for my 22 month old.
Herbs for Kids Products: I have been quite pleased with this organic brand of herbal supplements and have been using them on my son since he was about 14 months old. I have provided the link to the site that will include use instructions. Here are a few standards that I like to keep on hand.
*Echinacea - I use this at the first sign of sickness.
*Astragalus - This is great to use for building up the immune system. If you know you are going to be around a lot of germs, give them a dose the day before, day of, and day after exposure.
*Cherry Bark Blend - Good for dry irritated throats
*Horehound Blend - Good for respiratory and lung support
*Temp Assure - This is a great blend to support the body during a fever (I even used it for my husband once in a pinch). My personal rule of thumb is not to medicate a fever for a child that is under 100.5. Fevers are used by your body to kill of germs and only get dangerous if they go too high or for too long. Our modern day habit of treating low grade fevers with fever reducing medications actually does more harm than good, making it much for difficult for your body to develop immunity against the germ and to kill off the germ, thus increasing the risks for relapse.
*Chamomile Calm - This is a great blend for teething and for days where there has been a lot of excitement (like Christmas or all day at the zoo) and a calming influence is needed at night for sleep.
Quantum Nutrition Labs: I cannot say enough good things about these supplements. I have been using this brand for about 4 years and actually had privilege to be seen by Dr. Marshall at his Southern California clinic. This are extremely high quality supplements and worth the investment.
*D 3 serum - I like to use this a few times a week to build immunity. We get a lot of sun in SoCal, so I don't feel the need to use it daily for my son, but it's great for times of sickness or winter, when he is not out in the sun as much.
*Vitamin C - I use this daily, especially since my little guy is not eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegies yet.
*Greens Mix - This is a great daily supplement as well; I use it for calcium support.
*Colostrum Powder - I use this when my son starts to show the first signs of illness, is having an eczema breakout, or has been exposed to germs.
*EFA oil blend - This can also be given on a daily basis and is good brain support.

Elderberry Syrup...
Yes, that season of colds and flus is here. We all woke up a bit stuffy today, so I decided it was high time to mix up some homemade elderberry syrup. There are lots of variations of recipes out there, but this is the syrup that I made today:
*1 cup dried elderberries (You can get these from Mountain Rose Herbs.)
*4 cups of filtered water
*10 whole cloves
*2 cinnamon sticks
*1 tbsp of fresh grated ginger
*2 cups of raw honey
Combine the first five ingredients in a stove top pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down to a simmer and allow to simmer for 30-40 minutes until the liquid reduces to about half. Once the simmering is completed, strain into a jar and allow to cool to about 90 degrees. Next add the raw honey (you want to be sure that the liquid has cooled to 90 degrees so that when the raw honey is added, you retain the healthy benefits of the honey.) Store in the refrigerator. Discard after a month.
Adults can take 1 Tbsp daily. Child's dose will need to be decided by weight. There are many ways to determine a child's dose and parents should use whatever formula they feel most comfortable using. These can easily be found on the internet. Clark's Rule and Young's Rule are just two examples of methods that can be used to determine your child's dose. This syrup should not be given to children under the age of two. Pregnant and lactation women should consult their practitioners.
This is a great immune syrup to take during cold and flu season. It's delicious and your dose can be taken alone or used to top ice cream, strudels, crisps, pancakes...well, you get the idea!
In our home, we tend to rotate through our supplements and do not take most things on a daily basis. If you chose to do this with the elderberry syrup, this is a great supplement to take when you know that you will be around a lot of people. If we are going to an event, I will usually have us take it the day before, day of, and day after to help keep our immune systems boosted while being exposed to germs.

Baby on the Way...
You may have noticed things have been a bit quiet here the past month or two...there has been good reason for that! We have a baby on the way. It's been a challenging first trimester so far with the "morning" (more like "all day") sickness. Now that I am 11 weeks, I hope to be turning the corner soon and postings should be back on track again. Thank you for your patience!

Blackberry Leaf Tea...
I found out the hard way that flu season has definitely started. Our family was hit with a stomach bug this week - mainly causing intestinal distress, if you catch my drift.
Only one of us had a fever and thankfully that was kept under control with an herbal tea of yarrow, peppermint, and elder flower (this tea was made for my husband). My son so far has not had a fever, but I do have on hand TempAssure by Herbs for Kids, which has some of the same herbs to help support the body when dealing with a fever. An aside, which really needs to be a post on it's own, fevers can be good! They are your body's way of killing off germs. As a rule of thumb, I do not treat a low grade fever (below 101 for adults, 100.5 for kids) with tylenol, but instead will give supportive herbs, like the ones mentioned above, which encourage sweating and eventually help to break the fever. In my husbands case, he started to have the fever early evening and by the next morning it was gone.
Back to the intestinal distress! Blackberry leaf tea is a very mild herb and wonderful for treating diarrhea. I was able to brew this for my husband and my son (who is a year and a half) and in both cases, it stopped the diarrhea in it's tracks. For my husband, I mixed some peppermint tea in with the blackberry to make it more appealing for him and for my son, I mixed it with some water flavored with a touch of cherry juice concentrate.
A great way to make sure your loved ones are well hydrated during times like these, is to have them drink plenty of coconut water, which is naturally full of electrolytes. Another great option is Recharge, a natural electrolyte drink. You want to avoid sugary "sports drinks", as the sugar will only serve to lower your immune system as it is working hard to fight off the bug.

Sambucol
The start of fall, back to school, cool weather...this combination often signals the beginning of cold and flu season. This is the perfect time to make sure that you have plenty of Sambucol on hand! Sambucol is a brand of elderberry syrup that has had multiple studies done on it's effectiveness against flu viruses. It is also extremely effective for fighting colds. It comes in both adult and children's strength (children can start to use it at the age of 2). I recommend this particular brand because of it's proven effectivenss. It can be purchased from multiple sites on-line, including Amazon and Vitacost.
This is a standard in our household and it has proven effective a number of times already this year! You can take it daily as a preventative or take it immediately when the first cold/flu symptoms are felt.

Arnica Spray...
Hylands carries a brand of arnica spray that is a must have in a home where you have kids. Arnica is an herb that helps to prevent bruising. I recommend the spray for children and you can pick it up for about $7. You just want to be careful not to use it on broken skin, as the spray has alcohol in it and can be irritating or sting broken skin.
Last night my little boy smacked right into a hard wood corner with his forehead and started to bruise and swell right away. I applied a few sprays of arnica to his forehead immediately. The swelling was gone in a few hours and this morning he has only a small bruise. SO much better than it would have been! So, moms, keep a bottle handy and spray all those bumps and bruises!

Buying Local...
Here is a great read about why winter tomatoes don't taste like "real" tomatoes. Take a minute to read through this article; it will certainly motivate you to buy local and organic. I had no idea that there are 110 different fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides that are allowed to be used on tomatoes grown in Florida, many of them being some of the worst chemicals on the EPA list.
Just another reason to buy local and in season. A great way you can save some of your summer tomato bounty is to dry them. They will keep many of their nutrient this way and can be used many ways through the winter; in pastas, on pizza, as a pesto, or even pureed into a bean dip!

Some reasons to buy organic food...
There are a lot of wonderful reasons to either buy or grow your own organic foods. I thought I would discuss a few today, as organic food and gardening is a growing trend.
*Organic foods typically contain more nutrients, vitamins, and minerals than conventionally grown foods. This can also be true of heirloom varieties. Sadly many conventionally grown items are bred to carry a long shelf life (which often means breeding out important enzymes). The best way to ensure the highest level of nutrients is to grow it organically yourself or buy fresh and local organic produce.
*Organic produce is pesticide and chemical free. This can be especially important for children, who are more susceptible to pesticides and chemicals, which can have significant health consequences.
*When it comes to meats, organic is so important. You will be getting meat that is free from chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics. The use of antibiotics in meat is especially disturbing and is helping to create antibiotic resistant bacteria. This resistance is passed from the meat to the consumer and is only becoming an increased concern across the world as more and more antibiotic resistant bacteria is cropping up and antibiotics are becoming less effective. Consumers must demand antibiotic free meat if they wish to help save the use of antibiotics for future generations (that and decrease their own dependence on antibiotics in lieu of more natural treatments like echinacea, oregon grape root, and goldenseal).
*Purchasing organic foods from your local farmer encourages the growth of local farms which will provide healthier food options and take better care of the land. Organic farming practices are earth friendly and actually help to regenerate the earth.
*Buying organic produce will help to have less contaminants enter our water systems. Our waterways are overflowing with chemicals, antibiotics, and pesticides from commercial farming. As the demand for organic grows, this will decrease the demand for commercial and help to create cleaner, purer water.
These are just a few reasons to buy organic produce (local if possible!). Take some time to visit your local farmer's markets!

Buying Seconds...
A great way to stretch the grocery budget is talking to your local farmer and asking about seconds or crop over production. GREAT deals can be found this way and the surplus you get can be dehydrated, frozen, fermented, or canned to get through those winter months!
