Red Raspberry Leaf
- I'll second the praise for red raspberry leaf. Many years ago, when I was pregnant, I drank it daily to keep myself and my soon-to-be-born child healthy.

Red Raspberry Leaf
- I absolutely love this herb. It makes a great tasting tea, fairly sweet and easy to drink. I had a myomectomy last year and this tea has helped to tone my uterine muscles and keep away the fibroids by keeping my uterus healthy! I love this herb and highly recommend it for anyone who has the same issues with uterine fibroids or any woman TTC or already pregnant. This is a great herb for women!!!!!!

Hyssop
- This is an old Biblical remedy known to David and mentioned in Psalms 51:7. A wonderful herb to loosen phlegm in the lungs and to cleanse the body generally. It's good also for sore throat, fever and asthma. It increases blood circulation and lowers blood pressure. It's also good for stomach troubles, the spleen, and even eye troubles. It can be used both internally as a tea and externally as a compress. I discovered this wonderful herb many decades ago and can credit it for my recovery from walking pneumonia with the help of orange juice, aspirin, and lots of sleep in a mere three days! I highly recommend it and if you want to know just how versatile it is, check out "Back to Eden" by Jetho Kloss - a wonderful older book on healing herbs, home remedies along with diet and health.

Favorite Herb
- Golden Seal Root herb has always come to my rescue as a 'panacea' for many illnesses. It is a natural antibiotic, and will fight flu infections, conjunctivitis of the eye, tooth infections & a host of other complaints. Once recommended this herb to a friend that a stye on the bottom lid of eye just wouldn't go away, he followed my instructions and the seed in the stye popped out with no further complications. Another had bad case of 'red-eye' (conjunctivitis), and made a poultice and also drank tea form, and in 24-hours the condition cleared up. Golden Seal can be made into a tea, taken in capsule form, and made into a poultice by mixing with a carrier oil. Suggest anyone interested do research yourself. Better health to all.

Dried Leaf Goldenseal
- Dried goldenseal leaf seems to heal EVERYTHING! including yeast infections after having to take antibiotics, great for eczema... and even cat chin acne! I make a very strong tea and apply it topically. It's only safe to drink a couple of TBSP/day for no longer than 2 weeks, but applying it externally it's out of this world great!! Don't use the root powder though... it must be the dried leaf.
