How to Use Herbs

Herbal Remedies have been around since the earliest days of human (and animal) history. Animals have a way of instinctively knowing what plants are good for them in certain situations and through studying these animals and their affinities for specific herbs and the actions they seem to cause (and LOTS of documentation), herbal remedies have found their way to top level importance in human life and vitality. Only until recently (in the last 200 years or so) have pharmaceuticals been introduced and lobbied into taking precedence over traditional medicine. And in these last 200 years, we have come into problems with more diseases than ever before. Herbal Remedies have been documented for at LEAST the last 5,000 years. So why, now, is it so scary and taboo for people to use universe-given plants as medicine?

I want to go through the different ways that we can incorporate herbs into our daily lives, and a few of the different methods there are to taking herbal medicine.

The most common way is Tea (or infusion), as most of you already know. You would use this method for Leaf and flower herbal blends. For tea, you can use whatever base liquid you would like (water or nut milk), and you will simply:

  1. heat the water to about 175-185 degrees. (The typical dosage is about 1 tsp per 8 oz of water but you can do more for a stronger flavor)
  2. Once the water is heated you can either pour it into a french press, or tea pot, or remove the pot from heat and add herbs (with a lid) to the pot.
  3. Steep for about 5-10 minutes (you can do longer or less depending on the strength of tea you would like)
  4. Strain out the herbs, add sweetener (if you would like), and enjoy!
  5. Medicinally, most herbal tea blends are drank 3-4x/day, or you can just drink as needed for a nice boost to your body!

**I like all the fancy gadgets for teas like french presses and teapots with strainers, but more often than not I really just use a pot on my stove and a regular mesh strainer to make my teas.

Another method of making tea is through something called a decoction. It is very similar to the steps mentioned above, but this method would be used for Roots teas rather than the leaves and flowers. The difference is the temperature of the water and the length of the steeping. You would bring the water to a boil, then simmer and add the herbs (roots) directly to the pot while simmering for about 10-20 minutes. The Roots are able to withstand the heat a lot more than the leaves and flowers (which would be burnt and nutrient deficient at such a high temperature), and they actually need the higher temperature to more effectively extract the nutrients.

And the last form of infusion would be by making herbal powders and mixing them directly into your water. No straining is necessary. I tend to like this method best because I am a firm believer that the most effective and efficient way to get the benefits from herbs is by directly eating them. You can make your herbal blend and then grind the dried herbs/roots with a mortar and pestle or electric herb grinder (Vitamix works too!). Then you take your powder mixture and stir (or whisk) directly into your water or drink of choice, no steeping is necessary as you will automatically be drinking the herbs anyway. I like this method for people who do not enjoy drinking tea, and for stubborn children. The powder is so versatile, you do not have to make it into a whole drink to get the benefits. You can make it into a little “shot’ with water or juice, or you could even stir it into some honey, apple sauce, yogurt, or anything you can just take a quick bite of to get the herbs into your system! The typical dose for an adult would be 1/2 tsp 3-4x/day. for children (depending on the age) you would just cut the dose in half or a quarter.

Capsules

Another option you have with herbal powders is to make them into capsules, which is a super effective and efficient way to get the benefits of the herbs since you are actually fully ingesting them! In today’s world, capsules tend to be one of the more preferred methods since people are already used to taking pills for almost everything else. To make capsules at home you just need to get the empty capsules (vegetable or gelatin), and then you can make them one by one, or you can find simple manual capsule makers online! They are pretty easy to learn to use, it just takes some time! The typical dosage for capsules will depend on the size of the capsule and the type of herbal blend, but i would say 2-4 capsules 3x/day is pretty average.

Electuary

An herbal electuary is similar to the powder tea I mentioned above, but instead of infusing the powder into water, you make it into a thick paste with honey and then can eat little herbal candy balls! (For example, you can check out our Prebiotic Honey)

Tinctures/Glycerites

A tincture is another traditional form of herbal medicine. The goal is to do a stronger extraction of the herbs by using alcohol instead of water (yes, real alcohol!). This is one of the most shocking things for most people to grasp when they read the tincture bottle. They usually laugh and say “vodka???? like how much vodka”…and my response is ALL vodka. All the liquid in the bottle is vodka. I use very standard/simple tinctures with just regular (organic) 80-proof vodka. There is most definitely a LOT more to it when you get to the nitty gritty details of tincture making, some herbs extract better at lesser ABV while others require stronger. However, for the most part, 40% alcohol is a pretty neutral level for most herbs, so for now this is the method I use. In the future I hope to get more scientific with it and get PURE 175 proof vodka, and then balance out the levels by adding distilled water, but, until then, we stick to the simple method. You make your herbal blend, and then cover the herbs with your vodka (usually a 1:5 or 1:4 ratio, or until the vodka covers the herbs by about 2 inches), then you place in a dark space and shake daily for 4-6 weeks (longer=stronger). To make a super strong blend you can double-tincture it. This would take tincturing it the first 4 weeks, straining it out, and then using that liquid to tincture another batch of herbs. SO. all in all, YES, it is actually vodka that we use. The typical dosage for a tincture is about 1/4-1/2 tsp 2-4x/day (halved or quartered for kids depending on age). So you really are not ingesting THAT much vodka. You most definitely do not need to be taking shots of tinctures . I have always been comfortable giving my baby/toddler vodka tinctures because I know it is such a low dose of alcohol, however, I do understand the hesitation some people may have (and the same for recovering alcoholics). We do have options in these cases. You can use Vegetable Glycerin as the base with the same process, and it would be called a “glycerite”. It isn’t as strong as a vodka tincture but is still a little stronger than a tea, and you do have to be conscious of your source of vegetable glycerin as it is made from palm oil (we get ours from starwest-botanicals).

Herbal Infused Vinegar

The same process as tincturing can be done with vinegar too. We take the herbal blend, and soak it with the vinegar of choice (we use apple cider vinegar)  for about 6-8 weeks, shaking daily. An example of this would be with our four thieves’ vinegar. For herbal vinegar, you can take a little higher dose than tinctures/glycerites. We do 1-2 tablespoons per day of the four thieves vinegar, or you can really just use it as a seasoning agent as you would with any other vinegar. We also like to take our four thieves vinegar and make a homemade salad dressing (mix with oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings of choice), or even as a marinade! The absolute most delicious way we use our four thieves vinegar is by mixing it in equal parts with our garlic honey, and then using that mixture in the same ways mentioned above!

Herbal Syrups

Everybody seems to be pretty familiar with elderberry syrup and the delicious benefits that it entails. Syrups are an awesome way to ingest bitter herbs because you ultimately sweeten them with honey, maple, or a “sugar” of choice. Herbal syrups are the ultimate Mary Poppins representation with “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down” . To make a syrup you start with your herbal blend, add water to about 4 inches above the herbs,  and double boil it in some distilled water (helps with preservation) at about 165 degrees. Let it sit in the water for 2-4 hours (longer = stronger…sometimes we like to let our steep overnight, just make sure it is at a temperature that will not harm the nutrients in the herbs). Remove from Heat and let it cool. Strain into a separate pot/dish, and then mix equal parts liquid with your sweetener of choice (we do maple or honey), more or less to taste. Then you can optionally add about 10% total volume of brandy, this helps with preservation. Bottle the mixture and store in a cool dark place (really just keep out of direct heat and sunlight). It will keep for several months.

Topicals- Creams, Oils, and Salves

You can also use many of the herbs topically. The first step to each of these methods is to double boil the herbs with the oil/s of choice. You will let them steep for 2+ hours (longer=stronger), you can also do the double steep method here, where you steep the first batch, strain it out, then do another set of herbs with the already steeped herbal oil. After you remove the oil from the heat and strain out the herbs, you will add the essential oils (optional). From this point, you have three options. You can just leave it as is for an herbal oil to apply topically as needed. To make a cream you will typically add shea butter or coconut butter to your herbal oil blend and then can whip it up as it cools with a mixer depending on the texture you are going for. And then for a salve, you will strain the herbs from the oil, place them back in the double boiler, and then add beeswax usually a 1:4 ratio but you can do more or less as needed. (make sure you wait until after you melt the beeswax and remove it from heat before adding the essential oils). When making a salve you will want to make sure you pour it into the container you are using pretty quickly as the beeswax will harden up as it cools down. To test your hardness (amount of beeswax) you can dip a spoon into your blend and stick it in the freezer for 20 seconds or so, and then test the consistency of your salve.

Antiviral Teas To The Rescue: Your Herbal Antibiotic

Antiviral teas have long been used as a natural remedy for fighting viral infections. Herbal antibiotics, such as those found in tea leaves, are known to be effective against numerous viruses and pathogens. Antiviral teas are made with herbs that can boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and help fight off infection.
One of the most common antiviral teas is Echinacea, which has been used for centuries to combat viruses. This herb contains compounds called alkaloids that work on both sides of the body; they stimulate the immune system while also targeting the virus directly. Other commonly used antiviral herbs include Elderberry, Astragalus root, Licorice root, Garlic, Ginger and Oregano. All these herbs have powerful antiviral properties that can help fight off infection by boosting immunity and reducing inflammation.
Another popular herbal antibiotic is Goldenseal root extract, which is said to be effective at killing bacteria and preventing their growth in the body. Goldenseal also has anti-inflammatory properties which can reduce swelling caused by viruses. Other herbal options include Tulsi (Holy Basil) which has anti-viral effects against several seasonal viruses; Cat’s Claw which is known to protect against bacterial infections; Lemon Balm which helps combat viral respiratory infections such as colds and flu; and Olive Leaf Extract which helps fight viral infections including herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1).
In addition to antiviral teas, other herbal remedies can be taken for treating symptoms associated with viral infections such as fever or sore throat. These include eucalyptus oil aromatherapy, honey lemon tea with fresh ginger slices, chamomile tea or lemon balm tea to help soothe a sore throat; peppermint oil aromatherapy for relief from congestion; yarrow herb for fever reduction; elderberry syrup for colds and flus; garlic capsules for its antibacterial effects; vitamin C tablets or fresh fruits like oranges or lemons to boost immunity; probiotics or yogurt to promote healthy gut flora; turmeric powder mixed with honey as an anti-inflammatory agent; and licorice root extract as a natural expectorant.
Using natural remedies like Antiviral Teas in combination with other herbal medicines will not only help fight off infection but also improve overall health and vitality. With regular use of Antiviral Teas you could potentially avoid becoming ill altogether by strengthening your immune defense systems before a virus even strikes!

Must-Try Teas to Ease Arthritis Inflammation by Revived by Roots

Do you suffer from painful inflammation caused by arthritis? If so, you’re not alone! Arthritis is a leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting around 54.4 million adults.

If you’re looking for natural relief from your arthritis symptoms, one of the best things to do is try an anti-inflammatory tincture. An anti-inflammatory tincture is made up of different herbs and plant extracts that work together to reduce swelling and pain associated with some forms of arthritis.

But herbal tinctures aren’t the only way to manage your arthritis symptoms – tea can also be a great solution! Tea is a natural source of antioxidants and other active compounds that can help relieve joint pain and inflammation. Here are five must-try teas for those suffering from arthritis:

1. White tea: White tea has powerful anti-inflammatory properties due to its high levels of polyphenols. Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds that act as antioxidants, which protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Studies have found that white tea has a greater antioxidant capacity than both green and black teas, making it an effective choice for reducing inflammation caused by arthritis.

2. Ginger tea: Ginger has long been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory effects. It contains gingerol, a compound known to reduce inflammation in joints affected by arthritis. Drinking ginger tea on a regular basis can help ease arthritic pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints.

3. Turmeric tea: Turmeric contains curcuminoids, which act as natural anti-inflammatories in the body – they actually inhibit enzymes involved in inflammatory processes like those associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Studies have found that people who regularly drink turmeric tea experience less joint pain due to RA than those who don’t drink it at all!

4. Eucalyptus tea: Eucalyptus leaves contain compounds called eucalyptol which have been shown to decrease inflammation in mice with arthritis-like symptoms – potentially providing relief for humans too! Research suggests that drinking eucalyptus tea may help alleviate discomfort and stiffness associated with RA, making movement easier and more comfortable again.

5. Chamomile tea: Chamomile contains several compounds including flavonoids which are thought to reduce joint pain due to their strong anti-inflammatory activity – even more so than green or black teas! Additionally, chamomile may also help ease anxiety or stress related to living with chronic pain conditions such as RA or osteoarthritis (OA), allowing you better days ahead!

If you suffer from painful inflammation related to your arthritis diagnosis, then trying out these teas may be just what you need! While there’s no cure for chronic illness like arthritis yet, incorporating these herbal remedies into your daily routine may provide much needed relief from your symptoms including joint aches and pains!

Best Cancer Fighting Tea By Revived By Roots

In addition it reduces side effects associated with chemotherapy treatments including nausea, loss of appetite and fatigue.

Chaga mushroom has been used for centuries for its medicinal benefits which include fighting cancer cells due to its high content of antioxidants like triterpenes that have anti-proliferative properties which restrict tumor cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore it helps boost immunity by increasing T-cell production within our bodies resulting in improved resistance against certain types of cancer cells.

Black cumin seed oil is also included in this tincture as it contains essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (LA) and oleic acid (OA) that have been observed to inhibit tumor growths when applied topically or taken orally due to their antiangiogenic activity – meaning they suppress new blood vessel growth into tumors which inhibits their growth rate over time with regular use.

Reishi mushroom is also included in thisAnti-Cancer Tea/Tinkture due to its potential as an immune booster ; specifically it increases cytokine production within our bodies which protects us from bacteria and viruses while suppressing tumor cell growth at the same time .

5 Herbal Remedies to Try for Allergy Alleviation

Who knows – you may just find the allergy relief you’ve been looking for! If you’re looking for some relief, here are five herbal remedies to try.

 

Chamomile 

Chamomile (known scientifically as Matricaria chamomilla) is a plant in the Asteraceae family that has been used as medicine for centuries. Chamomile tea is brewed using only the flower heads of the plant, and it is a popular herbal remedy for hay fever and other types of allergic reactions.

The active ingredient in chamomile, apigenin, has antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties that can help to alleviate the allergic symptoms you may be experiencing such as sinusitis. Chamomile tea can also be used as a compress to help relieve itchy, red, and swollen eyes. When brewed as tea, chamomile releases its beneficial compounds into the water, which can then be applied directly to the skin or inhaled as a vapor. Overall, Chamomile is a safe and effective herbal remedy for allergies that can be easily brewed at home.

 

Peppermint Oil

The anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties of peppermint oil make it a useful natural remedy for allergies. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that peppermint oil was effective in alleviating symptoms of head colds and allergies. If you are prone to headaches, runny noses, and congestion, studies have found that peppermint oil significantly reduces their intensity. 

Moreover, the study revealed that peppermint oil helped to improve breathing and reduce the severity of coughing fits. Peppermint oil is a safe and effective way to alleviate seasonal allergy symptoms. To use, simply inhale the minty fragrance or apply a few drops of oil to your chest and temples.

 

Eucalyptus

For those who suffer from allergies, the arrival of spring can be a dreaded time. Pollen and dust fill the air, triggering sneezing, stuffed sinuses, and watery eyes. However, there may be relief in sight – in the form of eucalyptus oil. This natural antihistamine has been used for centuries to treat respiratory problems like head colds, and recent studies have shown that it can also be effective in relieving allergy symptoms. Inhaling eucalyptus oil helps open up the sinuses and ease congestion, while its anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce swelling and irritation. And best of all, eucalyptus oil is readily available and can be used in a variety of ways, making it a safe and convenient option for allergy sufferers. So next time your allergy tries to kick around,  perhaps try to reach for the eucalyptus oil instead.

 

Ginger 

Did you know that Chinese and Indian traditional medicine has used ginger as an anti-allergy spice for centuries? Although known as a common kitchen ingredient, researchers have now begun to understand how ginger may help alleviate seasonal allergies and the common head cold. 

A study has found that ginger may help inhibit the release of histamine, a substance that is responsible for many allergy symptoms. The anti-inflammatory properties of ginger may also help to reduce swelling in the nasal passages. In addition, ginger is a natural expectorant, making it helpful for relieving congestion associated with colds and allergies. While more scientific research is needed to confirm these findings, there is promising evidence that ginger may be an effective natural remedy for allergy and cold relief.

 

Garlic

On top of being a popular kitchen ingredient, you may have heard of a popular mythical tale that garlic can help to ward off vampires, but did you know that it can also help to relieve allergy symptoms? You heard us right; garlic has anti-allergy properties that can help alleviate the sniffles, sneezes, and watery eyes associated with hay fever and other allergies. Moreover, it is also effective against head colds, helping to clear congestion and reduce inflammation. So, next time you’re feeling under the weather, try mixing some garlic in your diet – may it be fresh or in powder form. You may be surprised at just how effective it can get rid of your hay fever.

Convinced that you want to have a postpartum doula? Here are the next few things to consider.

 

What’s the cost of bringing a postpartum doula on board?

Having a postpartum doula does require resources from your end. The average cost of hiring a doula would be in the range of $36 to $65 per hour in larger cities. For smaller areas, the average cost per hour settles in at a range of $25 to $35.

While these figures give you an idea, the cost will still vary, depending on your needs, the amount of time, and the time of day that you would require their services. It would be good to determine whether you need a doula for a full day or only part-time. The rate would also be higher if you require postpartum doula services overnight or during weekends.

The cost of a postpartum doula can also vary depending on the hiring arrangement. Securing the services of a postpartum doula can be done through an agency. You can also hire a doula directly based on referrals.

Be upfront with asking potential doulas about their rates. You should also be guided by how much resources you are willing to invest in providing you, your baby, and your family the support you need.

 

Finding the right postpartum doula for you

Now that you know the role, benefits, and resources needed to have a doula with you and your family postpartum, the only thing left is to find the right doula for you.

The most reliable sources of information on doula services in your area would be from people that you know such as your doctor or midwife. You can also seek referrals from people who have your best interest at heart such as your family or friends on reliable doula services.

Professional association websites of DONA International, the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA), and the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) may also provide you with the information you need in your search for a postpartum doula.

 

How to narrow your search and hire the postpartum doula that aligns with your needs

The vetting process in hiring a doula should include an interview. This allows you to ask about their training and experience, their rates, and the service included. You can also probe further by asking how they got into being a doula and what they like about being one.

You can also ask if they have special skills or techniques in breastfeeding. If you put value in your emotional and psychological recovery after birth, you can also ask if they have undergone training on postpartum mental health.

If you are into organic and all-natural remedies, explore their feelings about it and if they know where to buy natural herbal remedies. Through them a curveball and ask them if they can recommend where to buy herb plants online. See their reaction and assess whether it aligns with your values and interests.

You and your spouse or partner should take part in the interview process. The decision to hire one should be based on your assessment of their competence, sensitivity, connection, compatibility, and alignment with your family’s needs, values, and lifestyle.

 

Doulas and the vital connection between traditional support in modern births

In summary, there is much to be gained by having the tradition of childbirth support for women in modern times. Bring a postpartum doula on board and go back to your roots in baby and mom care. You will soon discover that a doula is one of the natural remedies for your postpartum journey and the challenges ahead.

4 All-Natural Home Remedies for Fast Cold & Flu Relief

Did you know that usually, during the last quarter of the year, people typically come down with the flu?

The flu is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. If you get it, it can get nasty quickly as the flu is usually followed by the common cold, fever, headaches, coughs, stuffy nose, sore throat, body ache, and fatigue. 

And we bet that if you are hit with a bad case of the flu, the first things that come to mind are how and where to find relief and healing from the virulent flu bug that bit you.

But what CAN you do to get relief as soon as possible?

Aside from our bodies’ own way of healing itself, there are a variety of all-natural home remedies to quickly help us feel better from flu and cold symptoms. When we start to feel any negative symptoms, it’s best to give these remedies a shot to bring us the relief, comfort, and healing that we want and need.

Keep on reading as we discuss four natural remedies for quick relief of your cold and flu. You’ll thank yourself!

 

Remedy option 1: All-natural physical remedies

Not all relief involves medicine. Here are a few things you can do to help your body heal itself.

  • Getting lots of good sleep and reducing stress gives us a chance to find physical relief from the flu and its host of symptoms.
  • If you are into soft lights, soothing music, and minimal distraction, find a place in your home that will allow you to have that. You may also want to try putting an extra pillow under your head to help relieve congested nasal passages. Good quality rest and sleep will help your body focus its energy on the battle to feel better.
  • To bring relief from a stuffy nose brought on by the flu, gently but firmly blow your nose often. The best way to do that is by pressing a finger over one nostril and gently blowing over the other to clear nasal congestion. You may also want to try salt-water rinsing as it helps remove virus particles and bacteria in your nose and helps decongest your nostrils.
  • Gargling with a mixture of salt and warm water is a good physical remedy for a sore throat. Salt and water are common household items that are easily within reach. The good thing too about gargling is that you can do it as often as you like to bring you temporary relief.

 

Remedy option 2: Hot and cold all-natural remedies

Another all-natural home remedy for the flu can be found in things that are either hot or cold. 

  • To relieve nasal congestion, sip hot liquids such as tea or even warm water. Do it often too to prevent dehydration.
  • You’ll discover that sipping hot tea or warm water provides soothing relief from nasal congestion and a sore or itchy throat. It also provides relief from uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat.
  • You may want to apply either a hot or cold compress in your sinus area to provide relief from nasal congestion. There is no harm in trying either to see which one works best for you. Just make sure that the hot compress is not too hot as to burn your nose when applied. 
  • You can also try to take a hot steamy shower to help you relax. A shower will also give your body a bit of comfort. If you are unable to step into the shower due to fatigue or dizziness, try running a steamy shower with the doors closed. The steam build-up provides you with relief as you position yourself nearby and be surrounded by steam.

 

Remedy Option 3: All-natural food and vitamin remedies

Healthy and nutritious food is our natural ally in getting relief and comfort when we have the flu. Here are some things you can eat for relief.

  • Eating bananas and blueberries help provide relief from an upset stomach and diarrhea. Blueberries also contain lots of natural aspirin which aids in lowering fevers and in providing relief from aches and pains. Polyphenols, which help fight the flu virus due to their antiviral properties, are also found in berries.
  • You may also want to put a little more zing into your meals with chili peppers. They help open the sinuses to relieve you from a stuffy nose. Chili peppers also contain ingredients that help break mucus in the lungs.
  • A hot and nutritious bowl of chicken soup laden with vegetables may slow the movement of neutrophils. They are a type of white blood cell that protects you from infection and focuses on areas in your body that need the most healing.
  • Ginger, honey, and garlic are also good sources of anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties that can help provide relief from flu symptoms. Adding more of these natural ingredients to your food and liquid intake allows you to enjoy their curative properties.

 

Remedy option 4: Effective all-natural herbal remedies to try at home

Other than things we can do or are readily available at home, you can also try to stock up on herbal remedies. 

Herbal remedies have been touted for their immune-boosting and curative properties. For example, some herbs are good to be used for postpartum remedies. These herbs may provide relief and aid in your healing from the flu and its symptoms.

Here are two you can try out:

  • Take the herbal plant echinacea. The plant itself or its extracts have been used to prevent colds and relieve nasal symptoms. It contains flavonoids that provide our immune system a boost and may also reduce inflammation. Search for where to buy herbal plants online to purchase products such as a cold and flu brew tea blend with echinacea plant or root extracts.
  • Another one you can try is oregano. It, too, contains thymol and carvacrol which have antibacterial effects. Essential oil from oregano rich in thymol helps relieve headaches, diarrhea, and coughs. Applying oregano oil to the chest may also help relieve cough symptoms.
