Amy here (again). Just want to share some thoughts on this stash, which was the result of years of accumulation.I worked for years in health food stores selling vitamins, nutritional supplements, and so-called "herbal remedies". I believe the vitamin supplements are unfortunately necessary for some people, to add to our diet because today's food is lacking in what it once, or should, have - vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, and other nutrients we might not yet be aware of.But when it comes to Herbal Remedies, I have some observations to share. To begin with, we shouldn't be calling them "remedies". We should call themHold onI don't have a word. Because what we sell and buy on the shelves of health food stores - in pill form - is no longer the original plant that God said (in Genesis ) He gave us for medicine.It's true that dried herbs in capsule (or tablet, powder, tincture, whatever) still contain certain potent properties of the beneficial parts of the herb, and taking these pills may help your body to improve, but more often than not, these bottled herbs can only help a little, whereas the real plant, in it's original intended state (aka grown in the ground, harvested, used ---> without dilution or doctoring it up the way we humans think it should be altered) is the real deal, the real medicine God gave us. And it's still available today, you just have to grow your own, or buy a real plant. Also, take the time to learn for yourself what each herb is known to help with.I believe the bottled form of herbs are one big setup. People looking for a remedy buy a bottle because that's what we know today as "herbal remedies" - they become discouraged when their ailment is not cured - so end up throwing the baby out with the bath water, saying herbs are worthless.Let's go back to planting plants.There's no life in the bottle. I know options are limited, and people are short on time and knowledge to grow their own, but I think it's time we get back to basics and get back to our roots!also, here's more videos like this... on a variety of subjects.
