Tuesday, June 29th, 2010We are having a SALE !! Yerba Mate for Your Energy Boost
Friday, June 25th, 2010
Are you looking for increased mental clarity, more energy and overall optimal health? Then I suggest adding Yerba Mate to your daily nutritional intake. The main ingredient for this drink is a tea which is made from the Yerba Mate tree which is native to the subtropical Atlantic forests of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This evergreen member of the holly family was introduced to modern civilizations by the indigenous Guarani of these countries. When the leaves are dried and brewed into a drink it is a healthy alternative to coffee. Yerba Mate is known as “The Drink of the Gods” by many indigenous groups in South America. Yerba mate has significant health benefits that have been peaking the interests of many Americans. Follow the recipe that I have included and drink yourself to health.
Yerba Mate Citrus Energy Drink (makes one gallon)
3 qts. water
8 tbs. yerba mate
1/2 lb. ginger (sliced and fresh)
Boil the ginger for 10 minutes, remove the ginger and add the mate leaves, steep leaves for 10 more minutes then strain out the leaves.
Add:
Juice from 12 lemons
Juice from 12 limes
12 mashed strawberries
(1) 8 ounce jar of honey (locally found if possible)
Mix and add ice as desired or drink hot.

Nasal Irrigation and Sinus Cleaning
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Take a piece of thread that is free of knots, smooth it with ghee (clarified butter). Place one end of the thread into one nostril and, closing the other nostril with one finger, inhale through the open nostril and exhale through the mouth. By repeating this process the thread will be inhaled into the throat. Gentle pull the thread, repeat with the opposite nostril. Then it will be possible to place the thread in one nostril and draw it out through the other.
Increasing Your Good Bacteria
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010
Probiotics are live microbial organisms that are naturally present in the digestive tract and vagina. They are thought to be beneficial and are referred to as “friendly” bacteria.
Some of the ways they are thought to promote health include suppressing the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, improving immune function, enhancing the protective barrier of the digestive tract, and helping to produce vitamin K.
Good intestinal flora helps prevent bloating, gas, and yeast overgrowth by controlling the pH level, or acidity, of the intestines.
Friendly microbes also help prevent disease in several ways. They deprive invaders of nutrients and secrete acids that less friendly microbes can’t tolerate well. They also reinforce the mucosal barrier of the intestines, which block dangerous pathogens, toxins, and allergens and helps the immune system “learn” which ones aren’t safe.
Given a ready supply of vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, good bacteria live long and prosper. Polyphenols, found in foods like garlic, green tea and ginseng, are also helpful in fostering friendly microbes.
