Herbal Revolution Spring Giveaway

In celebration of the spring equinox we are having a "Dandelion Giveaway".   We are giving away a tin of our 3 Better Bitters tea blend, dandelion leaf tincture and dandelion flower essence.  We are coming full swing into the season in which our bodies start to naturally crave the bitters that grow wild on our lawns and in our gardens.

The 3 Better Bitters is an organic blend of dandelion root, burdock root, yellow dock root, red clover leaves, astragalus and rose hips.  This blend is deeply nourishing to the digestive system and the circulatory system.  It is gently detoxing and nourishing to the liver and gall bladder, as well providing support to the immune system.

Dandelion leaf tincture has traditionally been used to aid the digestive system as well as the liver, pancreas and spleen.  It has been used as a diuretic and due to it's high stores of potassium and other minerals it can help flush the kidneys without depleting the body of minerals.  It also has been used to help aid the body in keeping its blood sugar level at an optimum range. 

Dandelion flower essence is a wonderful essence that can be helpful in aiding people that are driven and full of life.  Often times it is easy to put our heads down and plow forward with work and family without taking the time to look up or slow down.  This essence is good for people that tend to overwork themselves without allowing the body and mind time to slow down and reflect.  As a result of over working the body may start to hold  anger, stress and frustration in the liver.  It can also cause the body to hold tension and stress within the muscles.  This flower essence can help aid in bringing relief to the liver and muscles as well as a sense of awareness that we need to slow down and enjoy the flowers.

The spring time is a time of emergence and celebration of life and to honor that we are having a spring giveaway.  To participate visit and Like our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/herbalrevolution

As we are entering the colder months I have begun to incorporate warming herbs and spices such as ginger root into my daily routines and massage practice.

Ginger can be used externally to help stimulate the circulatory system and warm our extremities. Infused ginger oil is wonderfully warming on stiff joints due to arthritis, dryness and general wear and tear. The oil can help bring relief to sore and aching muscles, while helping to lower inflammation in the joints. It is also beneficial in helping to ease cramps and to lessen stagnation in the lymphatic system.

Ginger used internally is also warming and stimulating to the circulatory and lymphatic system. We like to use it in conjunction with the ginger oil for aching joint pain, menstrual cramps and lower back aches. Ginger is also stimulating to the immune system and makes a great addition to any meal.

I tried making this latest batch of ginger oil by using a large fresh ginger root chopped up, a crock pot and 3 cups of Jojoba Oil.  I placed the crock pot on its lowest setting with the lid set half on the pot, so the water from the fresh root had a way to evaporate.  I did this for at least 24 hours and maybe a little longer.  My house smelled amazing and I actually strained off the ginger and then put the oil back in the crock with more fresh ginger an let this heat for another 24 hours.  

I highly recommend using sesame oil instead of jojoba oil if you easily get cold, especially in these winter months, but any oil will do.
