Traditional Uses:
Anti-Inflammatory, Blood Cleansing, Joint Pain, Arthritis, Rheumatism, Gout, Removes Mineral Deposits in Joints, Eliminates Excess Uric Acid, Lymph Glands, Liver and Gall Bladder Detox.

Description:
Devil's Claw has anti-inflammatory and blood cleansing properties. It is useful for joint pain from arthritis, rheumatism, abscess and even injury because it removes mineral deposits in the joints. It aids in the elimination of uric acid – thus relieving gout and gouty arthritis (the kind of gout that travels beyond the foot). This herb is also used in many formulas to relieve in inflammatory liver and gall bladder problems, plus it appears to stimulate the gall bladder, making it a useful herb for gallstones. I particularly like to use this herb when I have any lymph gland swelling as it quickly opens the glands to permit drainage and to reduce swelling.

Traditional Uses:
Estrogen Balance, Blood Purifier, Improves Circulation. Caution: Do not take during pregnancy or menstruation.

Description:
This herb balances the female hormone system thus it can help relieve symptoms of either overproduction of estrogen (endometriosis, heavy or painful periods), or underproduction of estrogen (menopause symptoms). It is a blood purifier and tonic and improves blood circulation. I like to combine this herb with kelp capsules for full body balance.

Traditional Uses:
Antibiotic, Anti-Fungal, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Blood Cleanser, Strenghtens Immune System, Colds, Flu, Bronchitis, Stimulates White Blood Cell Production to Fight Infections.

Description:
This herb is a natural, broad spectrum antibiotic effective against viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa (protozoa is an organism that can cause diarrhea and dysentery). It is a blood cleanser and immune stimulant. If you are sick with cold, flu, bronchitis or whatever is going around, you will find Echinacea a wonderful, healing herb.

People ask if taking Echinacea long term can reduce its effectiveness such as can happen with prescription antibiotics, and the answer is "no". Echinacea doesn't actually "kill" the germs, it increases your own body's ability to produce white blood cells and "T" cells which fight infections.

Description:
This herb acts like a tonic for the eyes. It not only has healing properties, such as for conjunctivitis and sties, but also has preventative qualities with problems such as cataracts or glaucoma. Eyebright has antibacterial and astringent action and its effect on the eye/head area means that this herb also has some benefits for relieving sinus and head cold problems. It may be hard to believe that this herb can relieve eye infections, but it does and quickly.

Traditional Uses:
Estrogen Balance, PMS, Menopause, Hot Flashes, Digestive Aid, Gas Relief.

Description:
This licorice flavored herb has mild estrogenic properties and may ease the discomfort associated with menopause, the most prominent of which may be hot flashes. With its estrogenic properties, it will help relieve PMS and may help promote regularity where menstrual periods are erratic. Fennel is also a good digestive aid and can help relieve gas so, if you eat a bowl of beans and think you're going to pay for it, take 2 fennel seed capsules for relief.
