Specific Herbs/Products

Why do some of your herbal formulas contain cayenne?
Cayenne is an excellent herb to boost circulation and to carry other herbs through the blood stream to the desired destination. Cayenne is effective in removing blockages where circulation has been cut off. When circulation is cut off, infection and disease result. I put cayenne in selected formulas because it is necessary to achieve the final result.
   
Why does the echinacea herb taste hot or spicy?

This is a common mistake made about echinacea. If your echinacea tincture (liquid) is made properly, you will experience a numbing in your mouth for a few minutes. Most people mistake this for a hot or spicy taste.

   
Why does your Smokers’ Helper make my throat feel scratchy? (This applies also to my Relaxation formula.)
This is the signature taste of the herb lobelia. The scratchy feeling lasts only a few minutes. If your herbal product is said to contain lobelia but doesn’t make your throat scratchy, then you don’t have lobelia in your product.
   
How does the Immune Booster boost immunity?
The blend of herbs in this formula assists the immune system in what it does naturally. The nutrients in these herbs allow your immune system to manufacture more macrophages and T-cells in the blood to code and destroy bacteria, viruses or other toxins.
   
If I use the Liquid Stitches, do I need to still get stitches?

Use common sense here. The Liquid Stitches will definitely help with the bleeding, infection and healing. If the injury is small enough, you can use some surgical tape to help close the opening. If the wound is large, you should seek medical treatment.

   
Does your Passion Oil work like Viagra® ?
I have heard that it does work well in restoring circulation to the male and female genitals and that it enhances orgasms.
   

What is a good herb that will help me to relax?

Lobelia, hops, catnip or valerian all work well in relaxing the body. You may want to try my Relaxation Formula, Relaxation Bath Salts or my Get-to-Sleep Tea.
   
How does the Smokers’ Helper work to help you quit smoking?
This formula has an herb that contains the plant alkaloid lobeline, which is similar to nicotine. When you experience the urge to smoke, just take a dose of this herbal liquid and the craving leaves. With this approach, the cravings decrease and soon you are smoke free. This is a nontoxic and inexpensive alternative.
   
Why are herbal formulas bitter or hot tasting?
The bitter and hot herbs contain the medicinal plant chemicals. The sweet herbs are known as nutritional herbs. These are herbs like strawberries, blueberries or raspberries etc. To mask the flavor (signature taste) of the herb would be to weaken the strength of the herb.
   

What is the difference between homeopathic and herbal liquids?

Herbal liquids contain (or should contain) only plant ingredients. Herbal liquids use the full power of the herb. Homeopathic liquids use only the energy essence of the plant. It uses a distilled version of the herbal liquid and may contain non-plant ingredients such as bug parts or animal sex organs.
