The bugs are almost back and so is our famous Herbie Bug Juice! According to the Duke University Medical Center, DEET may cause: memory loss, headache, weakness, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, tremors and shortness of breath and there is concern about death of brain cells. DEET also melts plastic, irritates skin and can cause seizures. Plus we are told not to use it when using other medications and be wary of using it on infants. Children and adults should use it sparingly and wash it off right away when we come indoors. Can we really get it all off before it gets absorbed by our skin and in to our bodies? Where does it go when we wash it off? Right into our drinking water. And we wonder about pollution and the increase in cancers. There are lots of warnings and rules for its use. It smells bad too. I'd be afraid of going outdoors with this stuff on my body. Did you know that your skin is like a big mouth and it absorbs anything that you put on it? How can anything that melts plastic be any good for you? That stuff is poison! Our Herbie Bug Juice is a non-toxic insect repellent made from a special blend of five essential oils and olive oil. It’s a much better solution. I used Herbie Bug Juice when the black flies were flying around my face. I applied it and instantly there were no more black flies. We have tested it with the ravenous mosquitoes in our forest. They just weren’t interested. We are getting rave reviews and lots of re-orders from happy clients. For best protection, you will need to apply more often than the toxic stuff. OK, the DEET stuff lasts longer but what about the rest of it? I'd rather re-apply the non-toxic blend more often. Because Herbie Bug Juice is in a base of olive oil, it is actually good for your skin. No need to wash it off. Herbie Bug Juice smells great too! Herbie Bug Juice For children: dilute according to the directions on the bottle. Herbie Bug Juice For Pets: use directly or on a collar or scarf. Herbie Bug Juice Pregnancy: essential oils are not recommended for pregnant ladies $22.50 - 125 ml - Convenient Plastic Flip Top Bottle
Do you have Poison Ivy near your home? Do you hang out in the woods or fields? Are you susceptible to getting the dreaded and painful reaction to Poison Ivy? Poison Ivy has a variety of habitats and is not always easily recognizable. Even the stems before the leaves are visible can leave its toxic resin on your skin and give you a bad reaction. I even had a client who contacted a case of Poison Ivy symptoms in December. Rubbing the juice or applying strong tea of the Jewelweed plant on your skin at first contact has been known to stop the reaction in its tracks. I have used this remedy many times when I have inadvertently stepped into Poison Ivy. Yet, not everyone recognizes Jewelweed or has it growing near them when they realize what has happened. Sometimes you don’t even know you’ve stepped in it until you’re home. Many times a year, I get people calling me in desperation to get Jewelweed to soothe their suffering. We have created a soothing and cooling Jewelweed Spritzer that you can keep in your medicine cabinet in case you need it. Use it at first contact and many times daily if the rash does occur. Our Jewelweed Spritzer is cooling, soothing and speeds healing. Our Jewelweed Spritzer comes as a convenient spray for ease of application. Be prepared. Make sure you have it on hand in your medicine cabinet! You never know when you are going to come in contact with Poison Ivy. 50 ml spray bottle $27.95 OK, so you didn’t have our Herbie Bug Juice on hand and you are now covered in itchy bites. Try our Jewelweed Spritzer. We have used it on the itchiest bites and had instant relief. It works Nettle sting too. It works like magic! Get super-nutrition from fresh wild plants! They have so much to offer and are way more nutritious than what you can get at the grocery store. For example Lambs Quarters has 11,600 IU of Vitamin A and 309 mg of calcium per 100 grams. This is the time of year that is ideal for harvesting yummy spring greens: Dandelion leaves and flowers, Chickweed, Purslane, Lamb’s Quarters, Shepherd’s Purse, Violet Leaves and more. Get more of the nutrients, enzymes and fibre from these power-houses when you use the Vita-Mix kitchen machine. It does an awesome job of juicing the whole plant, and making delicious green smoothies that are phenomenal for alkalizing the body and creating vibrant health. This is the ultimate in detoxing. The Vita-Mix is recommended by raw foodist Victoria Boutenko, author of Green for Life: “The Vita Mix is not just a simple blender like the ones you can find at any department store. It speed goes up to 240 mph! That means that its blades don’t even have to be sharp. Even if they were just dull metal sticks they could still liquefy something as hard as block of wood. In order to reach such performance, the Vita-Mix has a 2+ peak horsepower motor. Any simple blender will blend the tough cellulose of greens only so long as the blades are sharp. When the blades [of a regular blender] become dull, they just move around pieces of banana and the blender very quickly overheats. Eleven years ago, after burning several blenders, I finally bought myself a Vita-Mix. It still works like new.” The amazing Vita-Mix machine can do much more than just juicing. It makes soups, sorbets, grinds grain, kneads bread all in the same container. Vita-Mix 5000 - white or black base - $549.00

Are you a shift worker? Do you travel and suffer from jet lag? Does your teen sleep in until all hours and isn’t fully awake at school until noon? Light deprivation occurs in the long winter months or when time shifting but your body’s natural circadian rhythm can also be affected by shift work and travel causing travel reversed sleeping patterns. The out of balance rhythm can also be seen in the reversed sleep patterns of nights owls and teens. Our bodies need bright light in order to elevate serotonin, the body’s natural "feel good" chemical. Bright light also suppresses melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that is released when we sleep. By getting the right amount of light during the day and avoiding it at night, you can have more energy, improved mood and sleep better. Some signs of light deprivation or out of balance circadian rhythm include:

Ginseng is an herb that has been greatly prized in Asia for over fifty centuries. It is a slow growing, tri-stemmed, fleshy rooted plant native to North America and North Asia. Wild Ginseng is endangered worldwide and is now protected in Canada. Medonte Forest Ginseng is North American Ginseng, Panay Quinquefolium. North American Ginseng is said to be particularly high in active ingredients or gensenosides. Korean Red Ginseng may contain too much yang energy or fire for most people especially those prone to stress or hypertension. Siberian Ginseng is not actually ginseng at all. It is a member of the same family and contains different active ingredients. What Does Ginseng Do? Ginseng is revered by millions for its strength-giving and rejuvenating powers. It is said to be the Elixir of Life. Ginseng is being studied by groups worldwide to prove its value for a variety of uses. North American Ginseng has been found to be beneficial in the treatment of:
Ginseng is beneficial to:
The Spirituality of Ginseng Many who are spiritually oriented use ginseng while fasting as a valuable aid in obtaining effective spiritual progress. It is for the mind and spirit as well as the body. Ginseng has long been revered not only by the populace at large, but by spiritual seekers as well. They maintain that ginseng clears the perception so that one can understand the deep meanings of the changes which take place. Sages say that ginseng develops the “Center” (the earth element), gives staying power and stamina. It also benefits the three Vital Treasures: Ching, Ch’i and Shin. Because it provides all three of the Vital Treasures, ginseng is revered as a spiritual entity by the Taoists. Ch’an (Zen) Buddhists have said that ginseng speeds up one’s karma and eases the path of spiritual progress. Because ginseng enhances the power and control of the breath and the clarity of the mind, it is invaluable to one who meditates, performs yoga, studies a great deal or performs other similar activities. MEDONTE FOREST GINSENG - FRESH. WILD AND FREE! At Medonte Forest Ginseng Farms, we believe that the best way to take Ginseng is in its natural form. Many ginseng tablets, capsules, teas etc. contain caffeine, chemicals and fillers. They may contain only a trace of ginseng, if any at all. When you purchase Medonte Forest Ginseng, you are getting: 100% fresh, chemical-free Ginseng. Fresh, wild and free ! We are proud of our fresh, ginseng roots. They are wild-cultivated in rich, natural, virgin forest soil. Free of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, they are of excellent quality. How Do You Use Fresh Ginseng? A small piece of the fresh root, about the size of a small peanut, is taken daily. Chew it slowly and completely on an empty stomach, ideally before breakfast. In about 2-4 weeks most people start to notice an increase in energy and ability to cope with stress. The benefits increase over a two to three month period. Harvested especially for you for maximum freshness.

Chaga is a unique, rare and valuable mushroom which is revered by herbalists for its anti-cancer properties. According to ancient Russian folklore, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is considered to have "miraculous healing powers." There is now scientific research to support the claims of the folk medicinal uses. Reports show potent anti-tumor effects and promising anti-cancer activity particularly for Hodgkin's Disease and cancers of breast, lip, parotid, lungs, stomach, skin, rectum. The anti-cancer properties of betulin or betulinic acid, a chemical isolated from birch trees, is now being studied for use as a chemotherapeutic agent. Chaga contains large amounts of betulinic acid in a form that can be ingested orally, and it also contains the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phyto-chemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms such as Maitake mushroom and Shiitake mushroom. Chaga was recommended and approved for public use against cancer by the Medical Academy of Science, Moscow, 1955 This traditional medicine has potent biological activities:
Chaga has a pleasant coffee-like flavour. Make a tea (decoction) of Chaga on a regular basis for prevention of disease. We have just come across a supply of this rare and unique medicinal mushroom. Available only while supplies last. 1/4 lb - $30
HERBAL TIDBITS Red Clover belongs to the legume family which is renowned for its anti-cancer properties. It shares with its better-studied sisters - soy, lentils, and the Chinese herb, Astragalus - the ability to repair damaged DNA, turn off oncogenes and reverse pre-cancers and in situ cancers. According to J. Hartwell, author of Plants Used Against Cancer, medical literature has reported and confirmed hundreds of cases of remission of cancer after consistent use of Red Clover. Red Clover is a very nourishing, alkalinizing herb. Benefits you may receive with Red Clover include:
Red Clover blossoms are ideal but leaf and flower is great too and is more economical. Combine them for economy and effectiveness. Note that Red Clover is a blood thinner so avoid if you are on blood thinners. If you are prone to flooding do not drink Red Clover near or during your period but do use it the rest of the month.NOURISHING HERBAL TEAS AND INFUSIONS FOR EVERYONE Herbal teas and infusions in the nourishing category are an excellent, inexpensive and good-tasting way to provide a solid basis for your nutritional program. They are safe and valuable for every member of your family. They provide vitamins and minerals while detoxifying and alkalinizing the body. In our society, our bodies are much too acidic due to consumption of meat, white flour products, processed food, alcohol and tea. A body which is too acid is a perfect breeding ground for diseases to take hold including heart disease and cancer. We need to alkalinize the body by eating lots of vegetables, greens, fruit and drinking nourishing herbal teas. The herbs which are the most valuable for daily use as a food and supplement are: RED CLOVER BLOSSOMS, NETTLE LEAF, RASPBERRY LEAF, COMFREY LEAF AND OATSTRAW. Use these teas to replace coffee or black tea. Each tea can be made singly or combined with each other to make a variety of flavours. Drinking 1-3 cups of nourishing herbal tea/infusion a day goes a long way to building a healthy body. In addition, you benefit from the medicinal properties that each herb provides. Kelp is a Super Food which is full of vitamins and minerals especially calcium plus valuable trace minerals that you can’t otherwise find in your diet. It is high in enzymes and fiber and is a very alkaline food. Some of the many benefits of eating Kelp on a regular basis:
Hey, Sherman!...............................You obviously haven’t tasted Judy’s Best-Tasting Kelp. Our Best-Tasting Kelp is wildcrafted in the pristine waters from the Canadian west coast and is full of warming sun energy as it is hung out to dry in the open air. The salt is not washed off the Kelp and so you get not only the benefits of the Kelp itself but are also totally unprocessed sea salt. These naturally salty crispy, dark-green flakes of Kelp are a great salt substitute and are wonderful to crumble onto your salads, rice, vegetables, in soups, stews, on eggs, in sandwiches and even in your oatmeal. Or you can just snack on them. Excellent! Spring is a time to detox but it is also a time for rejuvenation. One of the most revered spring tonics is Nettles. While we wait for the snow to melt and that first delicious taste of fresh Nettle, we can enjoy green nutrition with a cup of Nettles tea or overnight infusion. Nettle is such a nutritious and tonic herb. It is full of healing chlorophyll and provides lots of vitamins and minerals. It is definitely food for the cells of the body. Do you take lots of supplements? Concerned abut your bones? Add a nourishing cup of Nettle to your routine instead. The nutrients that it contains are more absorbable and in a form that your body can actually use. Susun Weed says” Health has never come from a pill and I doubt that it ever will.” In addition to the abundance of nutrients, Nettle provides us with iron and builds up the blood so is good for those with anemia, low or high blood pressure. Nettle works on the whole body but is especially valuable for the adrenals and the kidneys to provide us with more energy and stamina. Nettle is excellent for all kinds of kidney and urinary issues including: urinary tract infections, stones or gravel, bloody urine, kidney pain, kidney stress from insulin, chronic cystitis, dialysis, etc It is also excellent for lung issues like hay fever, allergies or asthma, frequent nosebleeds. If you have allergies, drink a cup or two of Nettle infusion now before the sneezin’ season to reduce the symptoms. Use it in the hay fever season too. Nettle aids those with joint aches of all kinds including arthritis and rheumatism. It is anti-cancer and helps chronic conditions like Epstein Barr syndrome, HIV. Use it to help you normalize your weight. For menopausal ladies, Nettles will help with issues like: night sweats, exhaustion, anemia, chronic profuse flow, menstrual cramps, re-hydrate dry vaginal tissues, create strong flexible bones, ease cystitis, bloat, incontinence. Nettles helps skin conditions like eczema, reduces varicose veins, hemorrhoids, is a hair and skin nourisher. It’s great for bones, nails and teeth too. It is such a nourishing herb and useful for so many conditions. Herbalist David Hoffman says, “When in doubt, use Nettles.” It is so valuable yet so inexpensive. A bag of Nettles will last you a lot longer than a bottle of supplements and is much better for you. We call it a spring tonic but you will want to use it year round.
Traditional cultures understand the value of bitters for digestion and liver health. Bitters aid the liver and gall bladder to improve sluggish digestion and all of the associated digestive problems such as indigestion, burping, gas and constipation. Bitters also aid in absorption of nutrients such as calcium and other nutrients. There are even Bitters Bars in Europe where folks would drop in after work for a bitter cocktail to get their digestive juices activated. JUDY’S WARMING BITTERS TONIC Other bitters formulas are made with herbs that will cool the body too much over time. Our Warming Bitters Tonic is designed to include warming herbs to provide a better balance so it can be used over the long term. Our Warming Bitters Tonic is a good-tasting bitter that:
Take Warming Bitters Tonic before every meal. A small amount goes a long way. Just put a 1/4 tsp in to a small amount of water. You need to taste the bitter, so take time to sip it slowly and hold it in your mouth for a few seconds. You will find that you start to salivate and are ready to enjoy your meal and help the entire digestive system. Click here for pricing. Vitex, also known as Chaste Tree Berry, is a valuable hormone-balancing herb. Vitex helps to soothe painful periods, treat PMS, regulate that erratic period, ease the mood swings, menopausal problems. It has been found to be helpful in treatment of endometriosis and is also useful in normalizing the system after discontinuing the birth control pill. Also for some cases of teenage acne and helps to bring on mother’s milk. Vitex is best taken over a period of time. Drink 2-3 cups of nourishing Raspberry Leaf tea on a regular basis as a tonic and for lots of vitamins and minerals. It is particularly high in calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and Vitamins B, C and E.
Oatstraw is everyone’s favourite herb. It is wonderfully nourishing and contains lots of vitamins and mineral in a form that your body can actually assimilate. When made as an overnight infusion, it is an excellent source of calcium (approx. 300 g/ mug)and other vitamins and minerals, so it is great for building and strengthening bones, teeth, fingernails and hair. Oatstraw nourishes the nerves to relieve stress, emotional uproar,depression and provides a deep delicious sleep. It’s not a sedative but seems to support you and hold you in it’s arms so you can relax and sleep. Drink it in the evening a couple of hours before bed to melt away the stresses of the day and help you to relax. “It tastes like a cup of comfort.” When we are calm and well-rested, life seems to run more smoothly. Stress!! Who isn’t stressed these days: busy at work, chauffeuring the kids to soccer and hockey, taking care of our aging parents, trying to please everyone else. When we are stressed, our adrenals are stressed. Oatstraw is a tonic for the nerves and for the adrenals. It helps calm things down. It nourishes our liver which is under stress from the foods we eat, drinking coffee, pollution, hormones, medication, life in general the liver is one of the busiest and hard-working organs in our body and needs lots of help to counter-act all of these stresses. Hypoglycemia and diabetes are prevalent in our society and a major concern. Oatstraw helps to stabilize your blood sugar levels Oatstraw reduces cholesterol and risk of heart disease, providesenergy and helps lessen night sweats, hot flashes We have heard of people buying Oatstraw in tea bags and making a tea.(do you know what is in the glue that they use?) This doesn’t cut it. When they have subsequently tried our Oatstraw and used followed our recommendation for preparation and usage, they have noticed a major difference in quality and results. Try Oatstraw for a few weeks and notice the difference it makes in your life and your health. Then continue to use it as a food for the cells of your body. Your liver, heart, adrenals and your whole body will thank you.

According to the Duke University Medical Center, DEET may cause: memory loss, headache, weakness, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, tremors and shortness of breath and there is concern about death of brain cells. DEET also melts plastic, irritates skin and can cause seizures. Plus we are told not to use it when using other medications and be wary of using it on infants. Children and adults should use it sparingly and wash it off right away when we come indoors. Can we really get it all off before it gets absorbed by our skin and in to our bodies? Where does it go when we wash it off? Right into our drinking water. And we wonder about pollution and the increase in cancers. There are lots of warnings and rules for its use. It smells bad too. I'd be afraid of going outdoors with this stuff on my body. Did you know that your skin is like a big mouth and it absorbs anything that you put on it? How can anything that melts plastic be any good for you? That stuff is poison! Our Herbie Bug Juice is a non-toxic insect repellent made from a special blend of five essential oils and olive oil. It’s a much better solution. I used Herbie Bug Juice when the black flies were flying around my face. I applied it and instantly there were no more black flies. We have tested it with the ravenous mosquitoes in our forest. They just weren’t interested. We are getting rave reviews and lots of re-orders from happy clients. For best protection, you will need to apply more often than the toxic stuff. OK, the DEET stuff lasts longer but what about the rest of it? I'd rather re-apply the non-toxic blend more often. Because Herbie Bug Juice is in a base of olive oil, it is actually good for your skin. No need to wash it off. Herbie Bug Juice smells great too! 125 ml - $22.50 - Plastic Flip Top Bottle For children, remember to dilute it according to the directions on the bottle.

Do you hang out in the woods or fields? Are you susceptible to getting the dreaded and painful reaction to Poison Ivy? Poison Ivy has a variety of habitats and is not always easily recognizable. Even the stems before the leaves are visible can leave its toxic resin on your skin and give you a bad reaction. Most times, you don’t even know you’ve come in contact with it until you start to feel the intense irritation. The resin can last for years on boots and clothes, if not washed properly. It can also be transferred from touching pets. Many times a year, we get people calling us in desperation to soothe their suffering.
