About Our Products  

ADHD. Research has shown that children, due to their size/weight ratio, plus their being subjected to these carcinogens at such a young ages, are affected even more than adults by the effects of pesticide and herbicide use in growing food stuffs. All of which means that our growing organically is important to you!

We are a small, family owned, business on the coast of Maine. Our specialty is pain management without the harmful use of drugs.

We do alternative health consulting and can help you choose herbs and herbal products that can enhance your health, without the side effects of "pharmaceutical  drugs".

Herbs are Farm Grown, and ethically wild crafted, in Coastal Downeast Maine. We use no pesticides, herbicides nor artificial fertilizers.  Seaweed, cow patties, and the pure sparkling  water from a deep artesian well are our growing allies. 
There are some herbs from warmer climates which are used in our formulas. Since we are unable to grow them ourselves, they are purchased from small farms using organic methods. For optimum potency, our herbs are kept in their original state,  whole, and complete. We do not process  our herbs, for encapsulation,  until an order has been placed. Keeping herbs in their whole form, keeps them at peak  potency. 
Herbs begin to oxidize soon after they are ground. This causes them to rapidly lose their potency.  That is why we keep ours in their original form.  The large companies grind and encapsulate their herbs and then store them in warehouses for months to years.  Their products just cannot compare to "home grown" and "fresh"!

Fresh and dried organically grown and/or ethically wild crafted Herbs for sale.

Every product in our catalog has been developed to "treat an ailment", or fill a need, for family, friends and even our pets.  For instance when my husband was diagnosed with severe degenerative disc disease, the "Pain Salve" was born!  (See our page on Arthritis* Tips for more information.) 
All of our products have been previously used, and therefore, thoroughly tested by the happy, and considerably healthier, volunteers.* 
 

Featured Products

Pain Management Program

This program is a combination of a lotion and a salve, for topical application.
Pain Salve: This is to be used externally on the painful joints/areas. Prewarming the area, such as a hot soak for the hands, thoroughly drying them and then applying the salve should prove very helpful. My mom uses it this way and wears a pair of cotton gloves to bed to keep the heat in. She has wonderful relief from rheumatoid arthritis* symptoms with this method. Another client, who, had found it necessary to have his knees aspirated (they use a syringe) in order to drain off excess fluid and then injected with cortisone, has been able to forego the entire painful process just by using the Arthritis* Capsules and the Pain Salve.*
Pre-warm area, gently massage in the salve, cover with soft flannel/fleece, etc., and keep warm. Very successful for low back and arthritic type pain. Used continually, it helps to heal the area because it brings the circulation back to the tissues.*

When using the Pain Salve, Do not apply auxiliary heat as skin irritation could result.  

Fibromyalgia* Formula*Renamed Muscle & Joint Formula*. A topical formula of mine which is really helping to ease the pain of Fibromyalgia*, arthritis*, tendonitis*, even rheumatoid*. It is applied a few drops at a time and gently massaged into the painful area. The combination of the Fibromyalgia* Lotion and the *Pain Salve*, when used together, has proven, according to latest medical testing, to work as well as some narcotics, without, of course, any of those nasty side effects! For those who cannot use capsaicin, we suggest our Extra Strength Fibromyalgia* Salve*Renamed Muscle & Joint Formula*. Just apply the Fibromyalgia* lotion three times, over a fifteen minute time period, allow to penetrate after each application, and then apply the *Pain Salve, or Extra Strength Fibromyalgia* Salve. Cover the area with a soft cloth, i.e. wrap knees, elbows, joints, etc., when possible. This will enhance the pain relieving effect of the herbs. Many clients do this just before bedtime and find blessed relief from pain all through the night!*

Arthritis* capsules are sold separately. These products have not only relieved arthritis* pain, but also pain of sciatica*, fibromyalgia*  and even rheumatoid arthritis*. 
One young child with rheumatoid arthritis* in her hands has gotten complete pain relief with one application in a.m. and one at night.
This pain relieving program  has been touted by one M.D. as "better than narcotics" for his wife's intractable pain from Fibromyalgia*.  He buys it by the case for his clients!*

Hormone Balancing Therapy

We have four formulas, in capsule form,  for hormone balancing therapy without drugs.

PMS - Gentle, herbal relief from painful periods, (no more lying on the couch with a heating pad!), also eases bloating, water retention, mood swings and the blues. 

Easy Change Formula - For peri-menopausal (just beginning menopause) symptoms, helps to alleviate depression, mood swings, balances your hormones and feeds your endocrine system.

Easy Change Plus - Does all of the above, but also has extra "Herbal Power" for Hot Flashes.  This formula cannot be used by those in Peri-Menopause.  You should be at least one year from your last menses before using this product. 

Saw Palmetto/Damiana combination - This product is a "booster" for those folks with very difficult symptoms of menopause.  They are taken in addition to the E Z Change or the E Z Change Plus.  These herbs enhance the libido, give extra protection against Osteoporosis, help prevent and even reverse facial hair growth.  These capsules will address those "persistent night sweats".  If you are losing scalp hair on a "more than usual" basis since beginning Menopause, then this is surely a combination you should add to your program.* 

Massage Oil

Lavender Massage Oil - Sensual, exciting, healing dynamite in a bottle. Ingredients: Artemisia is the main ingredient, named for Diana, goddess of the Moon.  She'll take you on an adventure you won't soon forget.  Warning - contains aphrodisiacs.  *

Fresh Plant Tinctures

Why Fresh Plant Tinctures

Scientific testing has shown that fresh plant tinctures contain a much
higher percentage of active medicinal constituents. We process our fresh herbs, on site, to insure that our tinctures have the highest possible potency.

We grow our herbs, nurturing them with natural fertilizers and filtered water, until the perfect moment for harvest. Then we gently hand pick flowers, leaves, etc., to be tinctured immediately. We create our tinctures when the life force of the plant is at its, peak. Being a small family run business makes this possible and feasible. Large operations just cannot compete in this area.

Compare Farm Grown fresh green beans to the freeze dried variety. Which will provide the greater benefit to your body?

Partial List of Fresh Plant Tinctures: (Partial because we are adding to it all the time.) 

Astragalus Root

Astragalus is particularly stimulating to the immune system. In cases where chemotherapy, and/or radiation is in use, Astragalus can help to offset the side effects. It helps to boost the "T" cells and is also useful as a toning diuretic in kidney inflammation. It is perfectly safe to take on a daily basis to enhance your immune system. Many local  Mom's are using 10 drops per day, per child, and preventing everything from common colds to ear infections.  These are happy, healthy,  children who formerly spent a good part  of our harsh Maine winters, with runny noses and ear infections! *

Blueberry

The blueberry, one of the three native American fruits, has been proven by Tufts University researchers to be one of natures best anitoxidents. It is used to enhance night vision, help regulate blood sugar levels, and retard the physical effects of aging such as decling memory and cognative skills. In some cases it has been known to actually reverse failing memory.*

Calendula Flowers

This beautiful flower has so many curative powers that we would have to write a book to list them all.  Most folks use them for PMS and Menopausal symptoms, as well as relief of gallbladder problems and digestive complaints.  WE have used them in a special tea to reverse "Bacterial Vaginitis", after allopathic medicine had failed.  One client had been using conventional medicine, with recurrent infections for over a year, before using our tea.  After using our formula she was symptom free, in one week.  There has been no return of the infection!  In Germany, expressed juice from the calendula is used in ovarian and uterine cancer therapy. *
 

Comfrey Root

This herb is known as "COMFREY THE COMFORTER" in our house. Following is only one instance when Comfrey "saved the day", or in this case, the finger!! My husband, Paul, dropped a 600 pound electric generator on his thumb in the course of his work. He could not, (translate would not!), go to the E. Ward, for treatment. I had to do something as it was a real sorry sight! I got out my trusty bottle of Comfrey Tincture, added some to warm water and got him to soak it. This finger, which did not even resemble anything human after being mashed by the 600 LB generator, stopped hurting after a few minutes in the soak. It helped so much, that Paul, actually prepared the soak and used it several times per day over the next week. Today, the fingernail has grown back and you would never know there had been such a massive injury. Paul now plants Comfrey "anywhere" he can find a spot! Comfrey is also known as knit bone, as it helps injuries to heal so quickly and speedily relieves pain. It can be used as a compress quite easily by putting tablespoon into a pint of warm water and soaking a cloth in the liquid. Apply this to any place on the body where you have sustained an injury, such as a sprain, bruising, etc. *

Echinacea Purpurea Root

HELP FOR CHRONIC EAR INFECTIONS!!! This herb is anti-viral and anti-microbial. Taken at the first sign of a cold or flu it can help to "stop the bug in its tracks".My grandson, "Punkin", had been suffering with ear infections since he was an infant. He had fluid filled ears on a continual basis. When he started to talk, he sounded as though he was gargling! Upon taking him to a speech therapist she told us he was mimicking what he heard. He heard that way due to the continual problem of fluid in his ears. He was hearing as though he was under water!! A couple of days before my grandson's scheduled "tube" operation, my daughter decided to give my herbs a try. She gave him Echinacea tincture and put the Calendula/St. Johnswort Ear Oil to work. Today he's ten years old, and needless to say, never had the "tubes" put in, nor has he been on any more antibiotics. *

Lobelia

ANTI-ASTHMATIC - Expectorant, and respiratory stimulant. It is very useful in bronchitic asthma and bronchitis. It can help to calm spasms and open passages. A few drops taken in water is often all that is needed to interrupt an episode. The tincture can be applied externally as well, a few drops on the sternum and several drops applied along the spine, can help to allay an attack. This is a potent tincture, several drops are all that is needed. *

Red Clover

This herb is very useful as part of an anti-tumor program. It is also very useful in chronic skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis. It is traditionally combined with the "Ojibwa Herbal Tea" in cancer therapy.  *

Scullcap

This herb is a member of the Mint family. According to some folks the beautiful flowers of this plant look like miniature skulls. Hence, the odd name. Scullcap is a wonderful, gentle, nervine, tonic, hypotensive (lowers blood pressure), and antispasmodic. It is very useful for nervous tension, PMS, conditions involving seizures, such as epilepsy and hysteria. Combined with Valerian and St. Johnswort, it helped folks to forego Prozac. *

St. Johnswort

This is a gentle but powerful anti-viral, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and ANTI-DEPRESSANT. St. Johnswort has a sedative and pain reducing effect. It has been used to control staph and even HIV viral strains. St. Johnswort has been used for growths, nerve pain control in sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and even helped to put a stop to bed wetting. *

Usnea

This herbal "ANTIBIOTIC", has been reported to be even more powerful than penicillin against some bacteria. It is very useful in urinary, respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections. It may be more effective than Flagyl with NONE of the side effects. A dropperful in a pint of water can be used as a douche for trichomonas.* 

Uva Ursi

This is a wonderful urinary antiseptic for bladder and kidney inflammation.  It is also considered a broad range remedy for diabetes, liver and spleen problems, kidney stones, (it helps to break them up to allow elimination), bed wetting and mucous discharges.*
