Happy Earth Day – my newest intern herbalist Holt

Herbal Wisdom, , , ,

What a great way to celebrate Earth Day. Preparing some Elecampane, Inula helenium, root with my 4 1/2 month old grandson. Start ’em young is my motto. He is one healthy herbal baby!

Our 5 yr. old neighbour, Ember, was helping dig jerusalem artichoke tubers, also known as sunchokes, (Helianthus tuberosus) – a great source of natural inulin, when we came across this forgotten elecampane plant with some very healthy roots!

Elecampane is such a wonderful herb for lung conditions and parasites. There are more uses of course, but I want to get this posted while it is still Earth Day, so that will have to do for now.

Nature’s Sunshine uses this herb in these formulas: Artemisia Combination and Caprylic Acid Combination. Both of these combinations are part of the Candida Clear Pak and the Para Pak.

Elecampane is also part of the ULC-R formula for ulcers. Elecampane kills helicobacter pylori bacteria, which is a cause of ulcers, and can lead to more serious stomach issues  if not correctly addressed.

Pneumonia and Lung Healer-Chinese

Immune Tips, Success Stories, , , , ,

Paul has had pneumonia every year for 20 years – usually in November. Lorene Benoit recommended that after the antibiotics he was on again, he take LH-C  to build up his lungs so they do not keep re-infecting, along with Lobelia to clear the congestion, thin the mucous and stop the coughing.

Within a couple of days he finally started feeling better. Since then, a few months now, whenever he gets congestion he takes 10 drops of Lobelia and it works like a miracle – he coughs up a bunch of stuff and is good to go. He is going to sstart on some LH-C again to hopefully prevent another infection this year.
