Throughout our website, you will find suggestions on various forms of herbal remedies for all kinds of physical, mental, and spiritual issues and conditions.

• None of these are recognized or approved by the FDA.  They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.  They have not been studied or evaluated as to the risks or effectiveness.

The information on this website, including herbal remedies, essential oils, healing techniques, and so forth, are provided for educational purposes.  They are the result of my 15 years of professional practice in the healing arts.  Every herbal or alternative method listed is one that I have either used successfully in my practice or personal life, or one that was recommended to me from someone who used it successfully (including other professionals and lay persons).

Using Common Sense

There is a growing number of people who are awakening to the fact that there are many choices for healing in this world than the ones offered through the pharmaceutical drug industry.  As a result, many people are turning toward natural healing methods, herbs, essential oils, dietary changes, body work and energy work to effect positive change.

I provide information for those who are self directed and choose to experiment outside of the accepted medical parameters.  I have seen many people use these and other alternative natural healing methods to completely regenerate their bodies.  In my heart, I feel a sense of responsibility to share these gems of knowledge and experience for others that have the will to use them.

In doing so, I draw from all of the indigenous elders, mentors, bodyworkers, Chinese medicine teachers, herbalists, aromatherapists, energy healers, and biochemical nutritionists that have worked with me, taught me and shared with me to help me and others heal.  I do not carry a title or degree.  All I offer to you is my own experience, and my own authority.  Every reader must take responsibility for themselves and use their own judgement about when it is appropriate to experiment and when it is not.

Who Should Use Herbal Remedies

Common sense tells us that not everyone is alike.  Bodies respond to herbal and natural forms of healing differently.  Not every method works for every person.  Some people can take this information and use it to heal their bodies on their own.  They are usually strong in self referral and have an ability to listen to their bodies and evaluate how they are responding.

Some people should not use herbal remedies at all.  For those who are on blood thinning drugs, or immune system suppressors, herbal remedies are not generally considered compatible with these forms.

However, I will not say “never”, as I have met people who were able to get off of this type of drug and regenerate their bodies even after years of pharmaceutical drug dependency.  They had lots of professional support through the process.  Leaving pharmaceutical drugs behind is a potentially dangerous process and should not be undertaken without experienced support.

For those who are seeking to get off of insulin, recover from various forms of cancer, or heal any extremely degenerative conditions, it is going to require the support of someone in the medical or alternative healing profession, and sometimes both.

Herbal remedies are not drugs, and work very differently in the physical body.  For that reason, I suggest that people get off drugs before going into an herbal cleansing and regeneration program.  No one truly knows how drugs and herbs will interact in a body.  Doctors and herbalists know very little about these interactions, or can only guess about them based on the main constituents of an herbal remedy.

Research Before Experimenting

The best information you can get comes from doing your own research.  Research is necessary if you are going to try using herbal remedies along with drugs in the same body.  By visiting several online search engines, you will find a wealth of herbal and alternative healing information that can help you make an informed choice regarding your own healing path.

Essential oils and herbal remedies should not be used without reading about how to use them safely.  There are many books available online that have this information.  We offer two books in our shop that cover this information.

Essential oils are not drugs, and do not do the same thing in the body that drugs do.  Every drop of essential oil is so highly concentrated that it contains the power of 50 cups of herbal tea.  Without proper dilution, essential oils will not give the results that are intended.  Please read about how to use them safely if you are not familiar with using these remedies.
