SINGLE
TINCTURES
MILK
THISTLE TINCTURE
Silybum marianum
1 oz.
$8.75
2 oz. $16.50
Natural
support for the liver, useful following any administration of
medications, steroids, heart/flea protection, vaccination, anesthesia... Milk
Thistle can be used to increase the secretion and flow of bile from the
liver and gall-bladder. Its traditional use as a liver tonic has been
supported by research showing that it contains constituents which
protect liver cells from chemical damage. It is used in a whole range of
liver and gall bladder conditions including hepatitis and cirrhosis. It
may also have value in the treatment of chronic uterine problems. A
wealth of research done in Germany is revealing exciting data about
reversal of toxic liver damage as well as protection from potential
hepatotoxic agents.
A number of
chemical components of the herb are now being shown to have this
protective effect on liver cells. They are all flavones and
flavo-lignins, the best studied being silymarin. Silymarin has been
shown to reverse the effects of highly toxic alkaloids, such as
phalloidine and [[alpha]]-amanitine from the Avenging Angel mushroom (Amanita
phalloides) as well as protect liver cells from their impact.
As its name
implies, it promotes milk secretion and is perfectly safe to be used by
all breast feeding mothers
OREGON
GRAPE ROOT TINCTURE
Berberis aquifolium
1 oz.
$8.75
2 oz. $16.50
Oregon Grape is
similar in action to both Golden Seal and Barberry. Its main use is in
the treatment of chronic and scaly skin conditions such as
psoriasis
and eczema.
As skin problems of the sort are due to systemic
causes within the body, the tonic activity of Oregon Grape on the liver
and gall-bladder may explain its potency. It can be used in stomach and
gall-bladder conditions, especially where there is associated nausea and
vomiting. As a laxative it may safely be used in chronic constipation. I
particularly use this tincture for seasonal skin problems.

TINCTURE
BLENDS
ARTHRITIS BLEND
1 oz. ~ $ 9.50
2 oz. ~ $18.50
Several herbs work synergistically (just like
a blend of EOs :) to reduce inflammation and pain associated with
arthritis. The herbs in this blend are considered to be the most
effective for arthritis.
Alfalfa, Cayenne, Devil's Claw, Feverfew, Ginger, Gingko Biloba,
Licorice, Nettles, Turmeric, Willow Bark, Yucca
Alfalfa
Contains many minerals, aids digestion,
and is a natural anti-inflammatory.
Cayenne can be very hot and some people are sensitive, so test it
first. Taken internally cayenne stimulates the heart, regulating the
blood flow and strengthening the arteries and capillaries. Cayenne
also contains capsaicin, a pain-relieving chemical. This also
triggers the body to release endorphins, natures own opiates. Take
cayenne as a tincture for fast acting absorption, and include the
spice in your food.
Devils Claw, (natural cortisone) contains a glycoside called
harpagoside that helps to reduce inflammation in joints. Helps the
body eliminate uric acid. Best taken in the tincture form
especially for inflamed joints. Should be avoided during pregnancy.
Ginger root -- In addition to its circulatory stimulant properties,
ginger is anti-inflammatory and this makes it useful in the
treatment of joint and muscle aches and pains.
GINGKO BILOBA
has been shown to help with circulation
and improve blood flow. This is important for arthritis. Improving
circulation is VERY important. It will help bring oxygen to the
affected areas and take away harmful deposits which have built up.
This is one reason I developed the CIRCULATION Bath EO Blend.
Licorice dissipates heat and alleviates fire toxicity; modulates,
harmonizes, and optimizes the effects of other botanical medicines.
(not for long term use if hypertensive)
Nettle
Contains amines including histamine, choline,
acetylcholine and serotonin; minerals including calcium, potassium,
silicic acid and iron. It strengthens and supports the whole body.
In addition to its major role as a skin herb, nettle improves
elimination of wastes via the kidneys, in particular uric acid,
making it a useful cleansing remedy and helpful in gout. Nettles can
reduce a patient’s need for NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs) by up to 70 percent.
Turmeric root
-- is active against a range of
bacterial and fungal infections; a superb liver remedy; helps to
normalize blood cholesterol and keep blood thin; is a potent
anti-oxidant and a powerful anti-inflammatory herb, which is also
mildly analgesic and will strengthen connective tissue. This makes
it useful for a range of joint problems.
White willow bark contains salicylic acid that has similar
anti-inflammatory and pain relieving actions to aspirin without the
side-effects on the stomach and digestive system in general. It is
taken for joint pain, headaches and to reduce fever. In addition to
salicylic acid, the bark contains tannins and flavonoids.
Yucca root
Yucca diminishes the amount of toxic
buildup around and within the joints and effectively diminishes
inflammation.

DETOX
Healthy Skin & Coat Formula
Burdock
Root, Dandelion Root, Licorice, Nettle, Red Clover, Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock Root.
1 oz.
$8.75
2 oz. $16.50
A cleansing and
nutritive herbal tonic formulated for dogs and cats with skin or coat
problems or for maintenance of a healthy coat and skin. Gentle
cleanser after anesthesia, exposure to chemicals or after steroid use.
Helps rid the body of toxins and other build-ups.
BURDOCK ROOT:
a blood purifier and a detoxifier, useful for all skin problems.
Its mucilage helps prevent toxins being absorbed from the digestive
system. The toxin-laden fiber then exits the body. Useful
for inflammatory conditions.
DANDELION ROOT:
The blood cleansing properties of this simple plant, and its
stimulating effect on the stomach, liver and bowels, make it a very
valuable plant for all disorders of this kind. Dandelion is also
one of the highest natural sources of potassium, as well as numerous
other vitamins and minerals. This herb is a most valuable
general tonic and perhaps the best widely applicable diuretic and
liver tonic available.
LICORICE:
Contains glycosides that are similar in structure to the natural
steroids of the body. Supports and enhances the activity of
various endocrine organs to reduce inflammation and muscle
spasms. Soothes and protects inflamed tissue; helps balance the
other herbs in the formula.
NETTLE:
Affects a wide range of problems and acts as an excellent general
detoxifying remedy and whole body tonic. Rich source of trace
elements, absorbing and accumulating them. The high content of
silicon present has made nettles highly beneficial in stimulating hair
growth and improving the condition of the hair and especially the
skin.
RED CLOVER:
Strong blood purifying action. It is an alterative, meaning that
it restores proper function, while supporting natural waste
elimination via the bowels, kidneys, lungs or skin.
SARSAPARILLA:
Especially helpful for itchy and inflamed skin. Contains
glycosides as with licorice, helps to stimulate the body's metabolic
processes, including sweating and urination (exrete toxins).
Helps energy and physical performance.
YELLOW DOCK ROOT:
Treats mild skin conditions that have resulted from poor elimination
of wastes. Cleans the liver, relieves constipation, dissolves
mucous by moving it through the kidneys. Blood purifyer and
cleanser.
