Herbs, Flowers and Growing from seeds.. Homesteading and Survivalism Store | Powered By ShopPad™ HerbMentor News 96: Cramp bark and Ginger Fomentation. We are currently studying cramp bark on HerbMentor.com. As the name strongly suggests, this herb is fabulous for stopping cramps. It works well for muscle cramps, like when you throw out your back, menstrual cramps or even restless legs.

After reading this article I’ll bet there will be a few of you out there thinking, “Why go to all the trouble? Why not simply pop some ibuprofen?” Most people tend to think of over-the-counter medicines as being safe. However, According to the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), each year the side effects of NSAIDs hospitalize over 100,000 people and kill 16,500 people in the U.S. alone.

I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t feel very safe to me! Cramp bark (Viburnum opulus) can be a reliable and safe alternative to NSAIDs. I often reach for cramp bark when I’ve got back pain. Have you ever “thrown out your back”? I have, countless times. After a while the muscles around the area seize up, which immobilizes you even more. Fomen-what? Need herbs? GHS Natural Health Blog.

Presented at Designs for Health Institute‘s BoulderFest, August 1999 Seminar Case Histories By-Pass Surgery First, let‘s talk about a couple of case histories. These are actual patients that I‘ve seen; let‘s start with patient A. This patient saw me one afternoon and said that he had literally just signed himself out of the hospital “AMA,” or against medical advice. He was on 102 units of insulin and his blood sugars were 300 plus. To make a long story short, this gentleman right now is on no insulin. High Triglycerides/Cholesterol Patient B is a 42-year-old man who was referred by patient A.

This man was told that he had familial hyperlipidema and that he had better get his affairs in order, because if that was what his lipids were despite the best medications with the highest doses, he was in trouble. Whenever I see a patient on any of those medications, they‘re off the very first visit. I should mention that this patient had a CPK that was quite elevated. Magnesium.

Black Seed - 'The Remedy For Everything But Death' Methow Valley Herbs: Creating an Herbal Medicine Chest for the Cold and Flu Season (with an introduction to energetics)

I know there are lots of articles about colds and flu out there. Unfortunately many of these articles have a this for that approach. Have a sore throat, take this. Have a cough, take that. Have a fever, take this. Granted, this type of herbalism is sometimes successful. But many times it's not and it can be frustrating for the person who is wanting to avoid over the counter medicines or convince their family that herbs really are the way to go. This article on using herbs for colds and the flu is not just about using this herb for that condition. We know that not all colds or all the flu are all alike. Prevention Certainly, the best way to prevent colds and the flu is to live a healthy balanced life.

Of course food and herbs can have a major role in preventing illness. At our house we love chai teas. Astragalus and Codonopsis Chai 2 parts codonopsis root (Codonopsis pilosula) 2 parts astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus) one part cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) External-Wind-Cold Ingredients: HerbMentor, by LearningHerbs.com. Bear Medicine: Oshá and Sage Infused Honey, by Kiva Rose and Rhiannon - HerbMentor. In this recipe, we’ll be looking at the classic and well paired combination of Oshá and Sage, two herbs well known for their powerful healing effects on the respiratory tract. Both are diffusive and warming, with expectorant, soothing, and stimulating effects that make them ideal in situations where there are signs of respiratory congestion, coldness, tiredness, an achy sore throat, and possibly chronic respiratory infection.

Oshá, sometimes called “Bear Medicine,” is one the most well known herbs of the American Southwest, and for good reason. The aromatic (some would say stinky) root of the plant is famous for its nigh on miraculous effect on what many call “lung grunge”, or even at the very onset of wet, boggy bronchitis or other wet, cold lung conditions. Omen’s desperate search for this plant in The Medicine Bear to cure Hannah’s pneumonia is no exaggeration, as this is an herb that has long been sought out by those of Indigenous, Hispanic, and Anglo descent here in New Mexico.
