Constipation and intestinal disorders are common problems.  A body that cannot excrete waste becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, so it is important to maintain our intestinal health.  Nature has provided us with many herbs to combat constipation and other digestive problems.

Over and Over we have advised our friends to keep the stress down to avoid ulcers and terrible gastric stomach misery.

Most of us in this country have little trouble finding something to eat, but even with this abundance of food, we are sadly deficient in many of the minerals that our bodies need to function at their best.  In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported in 1997 that most Americans suffer from severe mineral malnutrition, with women lacking particularly in iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, and men lacking particularly magnesium and zinc.

Since the early 1980s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have been producing dietary recommendations for healthy living.  These standardized recommendations, known as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, determined that total fat consumption should be limited to 30% or less of your total caloric intake.

In nature, we look for answers using common plants to balance those difficult problems that make life miserable for us; migraine headaches, sore joints and muscles.

Many people look for comfort when the colon or bowel structure begins to send signals of distress.  It is becoming quite apparent that our western dietary habits, which are low in fiber and high in processed fatty foods, may be the culprit that triggers a problem of small grape-like sacs found along the wall of the colon that become inflamed.

How many of us have experienced car trouble?
