The first live Q&A on zoom was a smashing success!! We deep dive into IBS, Leaky Gut, Gut health in general, choosing oils, drying and storing herbs, a more natural approach to skin & hair care, favorite fall herbs and how i celebrate fall equinox. Enjoy!
Here are the notes on IBS/Leaky Gut recommendations:
Supplement recommendations are: Zinc, L-glutamine, Omega 3 fish oils, DGL licorice, Slippery Elm, Aloe vera, Vit. A, C, E, D, and B-vitamins.
Antimicrobial, Anti-inflammatory, Mucilogenous herbs, herbs with soluble fiber and Inulin rich herbs are a must. Ex: Plantain, Violet, Chickweed, Cleavers, Mallow, Raw Irish Sea Moss, Burdock, Dandelion, Elecampane, Chicory, Jerusalem Artichoke, Artichoke leaf, Mushrooms, etc.
Probiotics: -Genestra Human Strain Probiotics – I recommend the Intensive capsule (25 Billion CFU) 1 cap 1x/day for 1 month or the Replenish capsule 1 cap 1x/day (100 Billion CFU) with a 2 week supply. -VSL#3 – This is a pharmaceutical grade probiotic that has been shown to have some of the best efficacy for treating IBS, ulcerative colitis, and dysbiosis. A written prescription can be obtained from GI-Specialists or you can buy it on Amazon though the concentration is lower (112.5 Billion CFU) where as the written prescription can contain various levels up to 450 Billion.
We are herbalists, not doctors. Our knowledge comes from generations of first-hand experience, commencing with the bees and the trees, and years of relationship with plants and people. We share in the spirit of education and community for those who seek a more natural way of living. We make our products in an FDA-registered facility, but our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, nor are they approved by the FDA. When we speak of traditional or folk remedies, it is in reference to history, heritage, and the ways people once worked with the land and plants around them.
