Copaiba

One of my new favorite things.

“Considered to be one of the most anti-inflammatory substances on earth”

So Young Living is a brand that carries very high-grade essential oil. I have been enjoying using some of their essential oils to flavor my water. I recently learned about Copaiba, and it’s taste is unparalleled.

Peppermint Oil

I like Young Living Essential Oils, they are therapeutic-grade so you can DRINK THEM. 🙂

Peppermint, Mentha piperita, Mentha x piperita is believed to be a hybrid between spearmint Mentha spicata and water mint Mentha aquatica. Commercial cultivation of peppermint began in England about 1750. English production peaked by 1850, after which American producers began to provide competition. The first peppermint commercial production in the United States was in the 1790s in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Peppermint is now produced commercially, mostly for essential oil production in Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Today, peppermint oil is valued as much for its therapeutic potential as it is as a flavoring ingredient.

In addition, Positive Health Wellness explores the positive impact that Peppermint Oil also has when treating migraines.

They suggest creating an “Almond Oil and Peppermint Oil” blend to create a topical massage oil to help treat the pain associated with migraines.

“The peppermint oil is part decongestant and part relaxation. It works similarly to eucalyptus oil by reducing inflammation to get rid of a buildup of pressure or a blockage. This will help to get rid of the reason for your nerve pain. At the same time, the oil will help to calm your nerves and get rid of tension.”

Parasite Cleanse- Sacred Herbs

 

arjuna

I am in the midst of a parasite cleanse. The cleanse supports the use of three different herbal tincture blends (from cayenne, to lemon, to ashwaganda…) that have an ancient sacred history of being known to kill parasites.

Recently, I had my blood observed under a microscope (this microscope is now BANNED in the US, but there are some people who privately and secretly use it to help people see in real-time what their blood looks like, for more information contact me)  itwas discovered that there were little parasites in my blood. Instead of my blood cells being perfect healthy little circles, they were congealed and sickly, and had bugs on them.

The feeling that I have parasites only grew when I recently went to Chile, and had terrible symptoms. I am in the midst of this cleanse and will start the cycle over again once I finish this round and the until the product is all gone. With the first batch of herbs I noticed that I felt very sick from it (and what I imagine is the killing of the parasites). I do feel different in that I’m not completely clear-headed and feel like there are some herbs at work that are not necessarily aligned with a completely sober state. Either way, I am going to finish it out. Please contact me if you have any questions or want to learn about how it’s been going for me.

Here are some directions, as to how to administer the product.

Red Raspberry Leaf [Rubus idaeus]

Red-Raspberry-Leaf-Tea-Photos

Red Raspberry Leaf is, that’s right, you guessed it… The leaf of a red raspberry! This powerful deciduous plant is packed with nutrients that have medicinal properties.

Though there are many benefits to utilizing the potent power of red raspberry leaf, here are the three it’s most known for:

ONE. A woman tonic, assisting women, and pregnant women (in second or third trimester). Aiding the female reproductive system. RRL eases symptoms of PMS. Strengthening the Uterus and Pelvic Floor Muscles, and helps with labor and healthy births.  It helps to prevent hemorrhaging. It can also help to tone the bladder from frequent urination.

Some research shows:

“the raspberry leaf herb can be consumed by women during their pregnancy for the purpose for which it is taken, that is, to shorten labour with no identified side effects for the women or their babies. The findings also suggest ingestion of the drug might decrease the likelihood of pre and post-term gestation. An unexpected finding in this study seems to indicate that women who ingest raspberry leaf might be less likely to receive an artificial rupture of their membranes, or require a caesarean section, forceps or vacuum birth than the women in the control group.”

[1]

However, a similar study by some of the same researchers in 2001, found no statistical evidence of Red Raspberry Leafs’ benefit on shortening the first stage of labor. They found a slight shortening of labor time of the second stage, and a smaller percentage of the Red Raspberry Drinkers had to  have forcep-assisted birth but nothing statistically significant was found.

[2]

TWO. Sleep Assistance. Soothes internally and externally with a high nutrient content: Magnesium, Potassium, Iron, and B-Vitamins,

THREE. Calms an upset stomach, eases nausea & diarrhea.

Red Raspberry Leaf contains tannins.

tan·nin
ˈtanən/
noun
plural noun: tannins
  1. a yellowish or brownish bitter-tasting organic substance present in some galls, barks, and other plant tissues, consisting of derivatives of gallic acid, used in leather production and ink manufacture.
    [3]

Tannins are found in many common foods such as wine, chocolate, and blackberries.

Raspberry leaf has tannins that slow the flow of liquid in to the intestines, which allows the body to form a solid stool.

Tannins have also been reported to exert other physiological effects, such as to accelerate blood clotting, reduce blood pressure, decrease the serum lipid level, produce liver necrosis, and modulate immunoresponses.

Science aside, Red Raspberry Leaf has a long history of treating illnesses. 

Marisa Corless from Herbal Legacy explains how raspberry was “used interchangeably with blackberry by the Greeks, Chinese, Ayurvedics, and American Indians to heal complaints such as diarrhea, dysentery, and the healing of wounds.” She goes on to say that Red Raspberry leaf has helped midwives prevent miscarriage and facilitate birth,and that Native Americans and people of the “Old World” used it to prevent hemorrhaging.

THRIVING THRU YOUR 20s: Research-based Information

“Many of us, especially the perfectionists among us, spend large chunks of our lives ruminating about the past and worrying about the future. Lurking in the backgrounds of most of those self-generating thoughts that keep us from falling to sleep at night are deeply engrained irrational beliefs about ourselves. The first step in addressing rumination and worry is to identify those ‘believed thoughts.’ Two sources of clues to those irrational thoughts are Tara Bennett-Goleman’s (2001) believed thoughts and Albert Ellis’ (2001) irrational beliefs.”
