Holy Basil is great for reducing depression, stress and anxiety. It promotes health and wellbeing and protects the mind and body in a very positive way.

Thank you. Holy Basil-- never heard of that one--

My sinuses are swollen all the time, and breathing at night is a no go thru the nose-- becomes mouth breathing which is NOT good.

Allergies are a tough one. Some herbs help with the symptoms, but the healthy immune response is where you have to treat. The nasal washes are good, but stress can make the allergies worse.. funny that allergies themselves cause stress which enhances tot problem.. hence them getting worse over time. Your immune system is part of the endocrine which also controls the stress response.

Yerba Mate is a good tea to also help as it also has adaptogen properties. Butterbur has been good for allergies and chamomile (depending on your allergy.)

My son developed them this year, but getting him to take anything is a nightmare. *sigh*

GOldenrod grows wild around here-- flowers will apear around AUgust.

I can find beet roosts in the market now-- though the article wasn't specific about roots or the leaves. We eat both.

Do you have any sources that you feel are trustworthy for herbal products??

I am all for good eating-- I feel like a broken record when I talk to friends. THe talk about moderation of the junk food and say no-no-no. I want my kids to grow up truley healthy as public school is a house of germs. THe teachrs laugh it off as it makes their immune stronger-- and I blink. I try not to say what I really think as they surely know better than I do . . .but I do beleave that kids are not supposed to be asulted with so many germs . . and if it was the same germ , well the kid would not get sick-- so it is a new one/ Argggh.

I am hoping to start trying vegie smoothies this summer, but we need tried and true recipes. I only have a blender, and that is fine with us as we want the fiber too. ANd the kids see the magic bullet advertised on TV and want to try it ----praying to find a feww recipes kids will drink. We have been trying a new recipe book in which each recipe is graded-- so even the vegies smoothies will be a trial to find those preferred.

yes docs often tell you to just avoid things... but then how will you get better? And the side effects of some drugs that do not cure you at all are far worse! h well if you respect herbs like meds then you have no problems often.

Hope you find way

Bought 4# beets today-- still not clear on whether is is beet roots or the stems.

I have looked around the CVS looking for the petti pot and the saine spray-- to no avail, yet feel like I am wasting staff time to ask about it. Now that I have done business with Drug.com I will buy it there. WOuld like a reusabel bottle though and be able to refill with my own sterile saline.

Onward . . .
