AFFORDABLE BULK HERBS

You can now buy just a small amount of many! Only $2.00 per ounce each makes it possible for you to obtain a variety.

IMPORTANT ~ If ordering more than a few ounces of any one herb, please email me to make sure I have it, and often I can order that much for you. But will need to know about large quantities before I can promise anything.

Currently, I have CHINESE BULK HERBS.

SIBERIAN GINSENG (eluthrerococci or wu cha seng wu jia seng). This is a RARE medicinal herb. Yes, many products are labeled Siberian Ginseng, but few are the real thing. My sources tell me, this is it! Siberian Ginseng has been scientifically tested by the Russians to enhance athletic performance, is an adoptogen and helpful in autoimmune hypothyroidism and probably other autoimmune diseases. Good support for the adrenals without over-stimulating them, as this is a mellow Ginseng. It is said to reinforce memory, improve functions of the brain, speed recovery time of sore muscles, reduce stress, etc. Dietary supplement. Currently I have this herb in powdered form.

PLEASE NOTE: All items $2.00 or under require a minimum order of at least 2 more items of equal price or 1 of higher (because the postage has been coming out of my pocket.) Thanks.

MORANDAE (bai ji jian) This is the herb NONI JUICE is made from. Reputed to help irregular menses, female infertility, strengthening the sinews and bones, tonifies the kidneys and fortifies yang. Best to use with other herbs, such as Chrysanthemum. Dietary supplement. Currently - chuncks.

EPIMEDIUM SAGITATUM (yin yang huo) Although this herb is not for long term use, it can be very helpful in rebuilding weak adrenals, enhancing metabolism and strengthening bones (through bone reabsorption). Stimulates the immune system, has been useful in hypothyroidism, especially when combined with most any of the herbs on this page. Never take Epimedium on an empty stomach as this causes vomiting and dizziness in some people. Also, combine with other herbs which will not only reduce this effect, but is helpful and synergistic. Use in small quantities but worth it. Dietary supplement. Currently - Out of stock but I can make a special order. Email me.

ZINGIBERIES or GINGER (gan jian) This is one incredible herb, reputed to offer many varieties of assistance. It inhibits prostaglandins (pain instigators) by breaking down proteins (it's a proteolytic enzyme) which counteracts inflammations, pain, and swollen tissues. And as many know by now, has been scientifically proven to be great for motion sickness and a queezy stomach in general. Some have also found a good dose of Ginger helps headaches including migraines (this herb goes up), can even replace aspirin for some, increases absorption of most meds therefore check to see if dose might require adjustment & lowering, good for water retention, lowering cholesterol, antihistamine, has helped some with fibromyalgia, increases bile production, decreases fat absorption, breaks it down and helps keep it from turning into arterial plaque, possibly better than garlic (no more bad breath!), ETC. This is a blood thinner so check your meds. Dietary supplement. Currently - pieces.

ELDERBERRY SYRUP/ SAMBUCOL --

& THE FLU

(Coming Soon)

After I read scientific studies on the power of Elderberry Extract (not pills!) over the flu, and developing a case of the flu myself, I gave elderberry a try.

Now in the past I have used golden seal and echinacea to treat influenza for years -- ok decades. :-) It was always more efficient for me than allopathic meds had been for others. (Just my personal experience.) The point being, I was pretty well sold on the herbs I had all ready been using. However, there were never studies making claims as powerful for them in comparison to elderberry, specifically Sambucol.

Keeping that in mind, I tried Sambucol Elderberry extract next time I came down with the flu. I was happily surprised to find my own results matched closely with the claims I had read via scientific studies!

Yet one friend told me, "I tried that elderberry when I had the flu last time, and it wasn't as great as you said it was for you." I had to think. Why did it work for me and not her? Of course, knowing her nature a bit :-) I asked, "How often did you take it? What doae?" To which she replied, "One teaspoonful twice a day." ~~ Well, that certainly is not enough to achieve the goal.

At the time I could not find the paper which gave the exact dose, but I remembered it was quite a bit. Therefore I took a teaspoonful every hour or two at first, then lessening it to two teaspoonfuls every hour (same day), and finally every three hours. When I awoke the next morning I initially thought I was completely over it. I wasn't, but that's how much of a difference it made! After all, I had the full-blown flu before I even started, so this was excellent results IMHO. But I still had a 'small' fever. Therefore I continued to take it, 1 teaspoon about every 2-3 hours the rest of that day. Next day, I had no flu symptoms at all!

Later I found a paper on the studies (below), and discovered my dose was very similar to what was recommended, just that I took it more often this way.

Now mine is only anecdotal and I can't make promises for anyone else. Here are the studies I read:

On Dr. Weil's site he states:

"The study that first demonstrated Sambucol’s effects was published in the winter 1995 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Scientists treated both children and adults who developed flu while living on a kibbutz in Israel. Of 27 patients in this double-blind study, some were treated with Sambucol and some with a placebo for three days. Children took two tablespoons daily and adults took four of the pleasant-tasting liquid. No one had received flu shots. Of those who took Sambucol almost all recovered completely within two to three days. Those taking the placebo recovered in six days. The active substances in Sambucol believed responsible for its effects are three flavonoids with antiviral properties.

A more recent laboratory study of three different Sambucol formulations, tested on blood from 12 healthy donors, showed that they increased production of inflammatory cytokines, which are immune system mediators. This finding indicates that Sambucol might help activate a healthy immune system and possibly be useful for boosting immunity in cancer and AIDS patients. The research took place at the Immunology Laboratory for Tumor Diagnosis, Department of Oncology, Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem, Israel."

Of course, more studies are asked to be preformed (aren't they always?). All I can say is, it worked for me, everyone is individual. I won't go one winter without it anymore.
