Using Herbs

I have been enjoying the benefits of using herbs in our family for over 15 years now.  I enjoy being able to find something that is far better for your body, something that God created, rather than the typical over the counter stuff.  I am talking about using herbs to help boost your immune system and heal your body.  My anthem these years has been that our bodies do have the ability to heal themselves if under the right conditions.  Adding the right herbs usually does the trick!

I have pretty much raised all three of my sons on herbs and because of this they have each only been on antibiotics 2-3 times in their whole life!!  This is a huge benefit, because if they ever do need antibiotics for something serious the antibiotics should work just fine.  Since they haven't been using them their whole life they are not immune to their healing properties. 

My favorite place to shop for herbs and get information is the Bulk Herb Store.  Their website is the most informative and least confusing of any that I have ever seen.  They have great articles with instructions on how to safely use herbs.  They also sell combination of herbs that are premixed.  I use these to make teas and tinctures.  To make the teas I have a coffee pot that is reserved for tea only.  For 12 cups I use a coffee scoop and put in 3-4 scoops of the dried herbs and brew.  So yummy!!!  One of the most used mixes that we use is the Double-E Immune Booster.  I use this as a tea mostly, but if I am on the run then I use a tincture that I made from the dried herbs.  Instructions on how to make tinctures and other remedies can also be found on their site.

I have many posts planned for this week on my favorite remedies and how I use them.  In the meantime check out all the articles at the Bulk Herb Store...
