TLC is a very exciting new herbal formula for lymph care. It includes the herbs Burdock, Cleavers, Echinacea, Ginger, Gotu Kola, Horse Chestnut, Olive Leaf, Red Clover, Red Root, Stillingia, and Yerba Mate. Each of these herbs are amazing and this formula just has me so excited. It is available as a regular tincture as well as a glycerin tincture. You can even buy it as an herb pack to use for making tea or your own tincture.
TLC isformulated to support and cleanse the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a series of vessels and nodes that collects and filters excess tissue fluid before returning it to the venous circulation.
Symptoms of a congested lymphatic system can include stiffness, soreness, a feeling of heaviness, and swelling in arms, ankles, and legs. It can cause brain fog, allergies, skin conditions, bloating, digestive upsets, headaches, and other nasty symptoms. TLC is a blood cleaner and supports improved blood flow to the whole body. The Horse Chestnut in this blend is specific for increasing blood flow to the legs.
All the herbs in this blend are excellent anti-inflammatory herbs and improve venous insufficiency. This blend helps support the body’s natural lymph cleansing process and has antioxidant properties to prevent or reduce damage caused by oxidation.
TLC stimulates the immune system and can be used to help prevent illness or be helpful when recovering from illness. This blend will help reduce edema and aid the kidneys to filter blood properly. This is an excellent formula to add to any cleanse program. Use with CD, KB, LC, and RC for a wonderful whole-body cleanse.
This remedy is formulated to build and support the immune system. The ingredients in this formula can help to correct disturbed or low immune responses due to their immunomodulation properties. “Immune Modulators” simply affect the functioning of the immune system by calming an overactive immune response or by stimulating a more robust response, depending on which is needed. Blessed Waters encourages the body to activate its natural defenses and heal by stimulating “vital force”- the force that is regarded as the source and cause of life and has the innate ability to resist disease.
For immune building and maintenance take 5-10 drops of the remedy once a day for 5 days, skip for 2 days then repeat the schedule for up to 6 weeks. Resume schedule as needed to strengthen the immune system. For acute conditions take 5-10 drops of the remedy every 15 minutes for 5 times.
Allium cepa covers more of the symptoms of common colds and hay fever than any other remedy. It affects the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes, and throat. The symptom picture includes profuse clear watery nasal discharge and sneezing. Symptoms you would expect while cutting onions.
Gelsemium sempervirens is the leading remedy for recovery from the “flu”. The chief complaint is weakness, which can be seen on all levels (physical, emotional, and mental). This remedy is excellent for the convalescent stages of illness.
Anas Barbariae This is a faithful remedy at the onset of the flu. Give this remedy at the first sign of flu and it is very successful in cutting short the duration of sickness. Often used regularly over the winter months to either prevent or treat influenza.
Arsenicum Album This is a very deep-acting remedy, affects every organ and tissue. Considered a leading remedy for intestinal, stomach, or respiratory-type influenza. This remedy should be used as a first-response remedy for flu, food poisoning, nausea, and diarrhea. Proven in various research studies to boost immunity at a cellular level.
Silica Terra is used for relief of the symptoms of frequent colds. The Silica picture often presents with repeated infections, such as colds, ear infections, or pharyngitis. There is low stamina which causes frequent colds and flu. Silica helps the body to assimilate nutrition properly. The silica patient is cold, has chills, and wants plenty of warm clothes.
Echinacea Angustifolia/Purpurea is used to boost the immune system, correct blood and immune disorders, and help prevent respiratory infections. The symptom picture of this remedy is a person who feels weak, tired, and has aching muscles. The person has slowness in every action (speaks slowly, moves slowly). Echinacea is widely used for common colds, to relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.
This blend has become a fall favorite for me. Several of my kids love diffusing this oil so Pumpkin Glow is just part of fall for us.
LePumpkin Glow has a delightfully homey, comforting, spicy cinnamon aroma. This blend is reminiscent of the rich spicy aroma of pumpkin cookies baking in the oven. Diffusing this blend will certainly delight the senses while being effective against a wide range of microbes, boosting energy levels, increasing immune function, and sanitizing the air.
LePumpkin Glow contains essential oils that are high in minerals and is helpful with conditions that are hypo-this or hyper-that. The essential oils in this blend are known to act as both a stimulant when energy levels are low and as a sedative during times when our bodies are stressed and need to rest and relax in order to rebuild. This blend is helpful for times of extreme fatigue, during burnouts, and for cases of infection that include highly resistant bacteria.
LePumpkin Glow is helpful for helping people feel “more”. More in love with life, be more animated, happy, warm-hearted, spontaneous, dynamic, and self-assured. The essential oils in this blend are wonderful for helping us become more productive and practical. This blend increases cellular oxygen levels which benefits all of the body systems and when we feel better physically, our emotions become more balanced.
Blessed Waters can be a huge blessing when we are trying to strengthen the lymphatic and immune systems. These are the ones you want to have around and know about for immune and lymphatic.
The spleen chakra, like the physical spleen, controls the quality of the blood and supports the immune system. Spleen energy aids the body in being victorious over the diseases to which we are exposed and prevents the immune system from becoming overzealous and creating autoimmune disorders and allergies. Just as this chakra lends strength to the immune system physically, this chakra also lends strength to the parts of the energy system responsible for protecting us from the energetic drain we may experience as we associate with others.
Balance Protection of the physical body, lightness, hope – Out of Balance – Auto-immune disorders, allergies, heaviness, and depression.
The triple warmer meridian is closely associated with the immune system and protects the entire body from external threats. Triple warmer gauges everything from the temperature of the room to the safety of the building we are entering or standing in and tells us if the emotional environment is safe. This meridian is responsible for the distribution of water in the cells and tissues. Triple warmer governs those feelings or inspirations that we receive that we do not mentally understand the source of.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) with Arnica (Arnica montana) and Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) Flower essences in a sea salt water base, combined with the fresh plant tinctures of these three plants.
Positive Qualities: Designed to protect and enhance the energetic and physical bodies. Supportive and protective of the immune system.
Patterns of Imbalance: Disturbance of life force and vitality by radiation, pollution, or geopathic stress. Dysfunctions from past exposure.
This remedy contains a lot of remedies that pertain to lymphatic congestion and glandular swelling. Lymph nodes become swollen, tender, or red most often as a result of bacteria or viruses. Lymph glands play a vital role in the body’s ability to fight off infections. This remedy is excellent at reducing inflammation and thickness in glands. It can help eliminate infections found in the glandular or lymphatic systems. The glandular and lymphatic systems affect every other system in the body. This remedy will boost energy levels, stimulate lymphatic drainage, gently detoxify and support the body towards healing.
This remedy is indicated for lymphatic congestion, inflamed mucus membranes and glandular swelling. This remedy is useful for pelvic problems that can be indicative of glandular and lymphatic issues. It is helpful for hormonal problems associated with lymphatic congestion, such as painful periods or cramps. This remedy may be helpful for allergies due to improving lymph flow which allows the body to deal with allergens better. Euphrasia officinalis contained in this blend is an excellent remedy for eye disorders so this remedy may prove helpful for eye conjunctiva and may help reestablish good lymph flow around the eyes.
Echinacea, in any form, is a blood and immune system tonic and is outstanding in these areas. It is used to ward off and/or to recover from viral infections such as the common cold and the flu. Often recommended for recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Useful for lymphatic clogging. Keynotes include pains that come and go suddenly and tend to be worse in the evening. Chilliness with nausea and aching of the limbs. Usually better for lying down. With insect bites and stings, echinacea acts as a blood purifier and, as such, speeds recovery and a return to normal.
This remedy benefits both the immune and endocrine systems. It does this by supporting and enhancing the function of the Pituitary and Adrenal glands as well as the nervous system connection between them.
Base combination of Bromium, Chlorinium, Hydrofluoricum, and Iodium to strengthen and rebalance the uptake of these important substances.
In September, we have three blends and three singles on sale. Some of these like LeEndoRelief have been around for years. However, the other two blends are relatively new to the Butterfly Family. I love and use Austyn all the time. I think as you read these brief descriptions you will see why we love them so much for lymph and immune. All three of the singles this month are very popular and ones that should be in every home.
LeAustyn contains essential oils that are known for being gently stimulating, raising energy levels, and encouraging lymphatic drainage. This oil is really well known as an endocrine oil. Regulating our endocrine system can have many health benefits. These include improving metabolism, helping to maintain our internal clock, and controlling blood pressure, and heart rate. The endocrine system influences every cell, organ, and function in the body. The endocrine system regulates appetite, nutrient absorption, and nutrient storage.
LeAustyn is great for people who are trying to overcome the fear of failure or the fear of making decisions. It is wonderful for the person who is fearful of the changes that they are facing and encourages them to be willing to go outside of their usual boundaries. LeAustyn soothes anger and helps us find emotional balance.
LeEndoRelief should be applied to the lymph glands of the neck, chest, and armpits whenever a cold, sore throat or flu is suspected. Using LeEndoRelief early, before the illness is fully developed will lessen its severity.
It aids our emotional health because it strengthens and balances the wide range of organs and glands that make up the endocrine system. As our bodies and minds begin to function better, we feel more secure in ourselves. We are able to establish (or reestablish) boundaries between ourselves and others. This does not mean that we become prickly or rude; it enables us to be tactful and firm while still being kind and concerned.
Applying LeSolace over the spleen is a wonderful way to help the lymphatic system, as the spleen is the largest lymphatic organ. You can diffuse this oil to enjoy its wonderful aroma, add it to lotions, or use it for massage. Apply to swollen glands, or on the thymus, for an immune system boost to help fight off colds or cases of flu.
Using essential oils such as LeSolace, combined with lymph moving exercises such as jumping on a mini trampoline or lymph massage, can help encourage good lymphatic function
LeSolace is a great oil for depression, mental exhaustion, and tension. The aroma for solace promotes feelings of joy and confidence, while also helping us relax. This oil is a very warming emotionally and can help us through bereavement.
Lemon Myrtle oil helps boost the body’s natural defenses and immune system. It is also a very powerful purifying agent due to its high citral content. The antibacterial and germicidal activity of Lemon Myrtle oil has been tested to be more effective at killing germs than Tea Tree oil. This makes it an excellent oil for your homemade cleaning products.
The aroma of Lemon Myrtle oil is a wonderful, lemony scent. Its intense Lemon aroma is uplifting and refreshing, making it a great oil to diffuse in the home. The fresh, uplifting aroma of Lemon Myrtle may also be helpful in clearing the mind and enhancing concentration, along with aiding in a calm and peaceful night’s sleep.
Ravensara is strongly antiviral. It really gets in and kills “critters.” It then supports the kidneys and lymphatic system in getting rid of the “dead bodies” of the invaders. Ravensara has an affinity for the lungs and is useful in chronic respiratory conditions.
Emotionally, Ravensara is like a spiritual disinfectant. It goes through our minds and memories and blasts away negative emotions and responses. Ravensara does this gently, letting us know every step of the way that we are doing all right and will soon be doing even better.
The aroma of Ravensara can help us unlock and unblock negative emotions and then banish their effects from our lives. It is similar to Eucalyptus, but milder and more pleasant.
Sage clears and sharpens the mind. Cleanses the energy grid and strengthens its ability to protect us from negative influences. Sage has a positive influence on intuition.
The impact on physical health from a strong nervous system and an active lymph system cannot be overemphasized. Sage’s ability to strengthen the pelvic chakras, and organs within it, gives vigor and strength to the vital centers of the body. With nerves, lymph, and pelvic organs being strengthened, it is easy to see why sage has long been considered the “master healer”.
Sage is useful for most glandular disorders, any complaint related to lymph congestion, and any disorders related to nerve deterioration or prolonged nervous stress.
It is always best to meet your nutritional needs with the foods you eat. However, this is not always possible and sometimes we need to fill the gaps with herbs or even supplements.
Not all supplements are created equal however and it is important to get quality vitamins. One very important thing to make sure of with supplements is that they are food or plant-based. In other words, make sure the nutrients are coming from a natural source and not a laboratory. Butterfly currently carries 17 supplements.
B-100 Caps provide a full complement of B-Vitamins plus Choline and Inositol. These vitamins work to support energy production, maintain healthy homocysteine metabolism, and promote the health of the nervous system. B-Vitamins are water soluble, and with the exception of B-12, have limited storage in the body and thus require daily replenishment. While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy) and supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for vegetarians.
Bee Pollen contains many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it incredibly healthy. It is considered a superfood due to its nutrient-rich profile that includes tocopherol, niacin, thiamine, biotin, folic acid, polyphenols, carotenoid pigments, phytosterols, enzymes, and co-enzymes. Bee Pollen is often used for allergies, cholesterol, decreased inflammation, improved immunity, liver health, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, and wound healing.
It is made from flower pollen, nectar, bee secretions, enzymes, honey, and wax. Serious allergic reactions to bee pollen have been reported. Most of these reports involved people with known allergies to pollen.
Calcium is one of the first elements depleted by insufficient dietary nutrients, it is one of the most essential of the major biochemical elements present in the body. It supports bones, teeth, nails, nerves, muscles, and tissues; Calcium is needed in every organ of the body; it promotes repair processes and aids normal body functions.
Magnesium supports normal nerve and muscle function, aids digestion by activating enzymes for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, relaxes the body into deeper sleep, supports normal heart and liver function, may help reduce inflammation in muscles, joints, and tissues, and potentially aiding in over 300 body processes in all! Magnesium is also necessary for the absorption of calcium and other minerals.
Often used for irritability, excitability, cramps, fatigue, convulsions, depression, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, tremors, calcification of tissues and small arteries, asthma, anorexia, menstrual migraines, heartbeat irregularities, and protein synthesis problems.
Calcium & Magnesium Softgels include Vitamin D-3 and Zinc, offering a truly balanced blend of essential minerals. This formula supports strong bones and teeth, as well as healthy enzymatic activity. Delivered via softgel, this formula is more easily absorbed and assimilated than capsules or tablets.
Candida albicans is a naturally occurring yeast that typically resides in the gut as part of the normal gut flora. However, when it gets out of whack it can cause a multitude of problems. Candida Support is a combination of traditional herbal ingredients (Pau D’Arco, Black Walnut, and Oregano Oil), Biotin (a B-complex vitamin), and Caprylic Acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid derived from plant oils) that may help to support a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria. Although Candida Support is not meant to clear Candida albicans from the gut, it helps.
Cranberry Caps deliver the natural nutrient profile found in Genuine Whole Foods. They have a long history of culinary use in Europe and North America and have been employed by traditional herbalists for centuries. Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a shrub found in acidic bogs throughout the cool regions of the northern hemisphere. Cranberries are packed with polyphenols, tannins, and other phytonutrients that have been researched for their role in urinary tract and kidney health. They are also rich in Vitamin C.
Digest Ultimate™ is a potent proprietary combination of digestive enzymes produced through controlled fermentation of select microbial species and is stable throughout the pH range of the GI tract. This full-spectrum digestive support formula helps to optimize nutrient absorption by assisting in the breakdown of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, as well as dairy, grains, and indigestible fibers found in foods such as vegetables and beans. Digest Ultimate™ is suitable for vegetarians.
Emerging research demonstrates that gamma-Tocopherol, the most abundant form of Vitamin E in the diet, has very important and unique functions. Central to these functions is its capacity to detoxify reactive nitrogen species, an especially destructive form of free radical. In addition, gamma-Tocopherol acts to trap and remove free radicals from the body in a way that alpha-Tocopherol cannot. Advanced Gamma E Complex provides the full range of Vitamin E protection because it has a more natural balance of Tocopherols plus a full complement of Tocotrienols. This “Advanced” formula thereby provides superior support for cardiovascular health, as well as protection for the health of the prostate and the colon.
Odorless Garlic is extracted from Allium sativum. It extract is aged for 18 months, is highly purified, and has been deodorized while maintaining the nutritional value of garlic. Garlic abounds with naturally occurring sulfur compounds, amino acids, and trace minerals.
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through the diet or through supplementation. It is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone. L-Lysine is also a precursor to L-carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production. In addition, L-Lysine may help to support a healthy immune system and proper cardiovascular function.
Chlorophyll functions as a free radical neutralizer and may help to support the body’s detoxification process. It has been traditionally used as an internal deodorizer.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment naturally produced by plants and algae and gives them their characteristic green color. Chlorophyll is critical for photosynthesis, the process by which sunlight is converted into chemical energy.
Ocu Support™ offers a full range of antioxidant nutrients that may aid in maintaining some key visual functions. One daily serving of Ocu Support™ has 10 mg of Lutein, a carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables. Lutein is a dominant pigment in the macular region of the eye. Also included are the antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and E, as well as supporting nutrients critical for neutralizing free radicals produced by sunlight. In addition, Bilberry Extract has biologically active flavonoids that support healthy vision.
Plant Enzymes is a comprehensive blend of enzymes that helps to support proper digestion and is specially formulated for a vegetarian diet. This product’s combination of enzymes assists in the breakdown of fats, fiber, proteins, and carbohydrates, thus optimizing the availability of nutrients in the food you eat. Plant Enzymes also include lactase to support the digestion of dairy products for those who are sensitive to lactose.
Probiotic-10™ offers a balanced spectrum of live organisms consisting of acid-resistant probiotic bacterial strains that are known to naturally colonize the human GI tract. Probiotic bacteria are critical for healthy digestion, help maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining, support proper intestinal motility, and participate in the detoxification process. Probiotic-10™ utilizes bacterial strains that have been clinically validated for their support of healthy immune system function.
This comprehensive blend of potent herbs and fruit extracts has been designed to deliver a broad spectrum of flavonoids with scientifically demonstrated free radical scavenging activity. These herbs and fruits have been renowned throughout the world for centuries for their ability to maintain optimal well-being.
Clinically shown to hydrate better than water. In a published, peer-reviewed clinical study, those who drank plain water drank 74% more water to achieve the same level of hydration as those who drank water with Super Electrolyte Complex. Contains four essential electrolytes to support hydration, performance, and muscle function. Super Electrolyte Complex makes it easy to make your own electrolyte water or transforms any drink into a sports drink. Contains NO sugars, calories, or artificial ingredients.
Super Omega 3-6-9 is a blend of Fish, Borage, and Flax Seed Oils. This combination of well-known nutritional oils has a unique balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids plus Omega-9, a non-essential, but useful fatty acid. The Omega-3’s, Alpha Linolenic Acid, EPA and DHA, and the Omega-6, GLA, are necessary for the maintenance of healthy skin, normal immune system balance, and proper nervous system function.
Supportive, but not conclusive, research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut. Often used to maintain strong bones and support dental health. Vitamin D-3 softgels supply this key vitamin in a highly-absorbable liquid softgel form.
Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. However, it is not abundant in food. As more people avoid sun exposure, Vitamin D supplementation becomes even more necessary to ensure that your body receives an adequate supply.
This blend is a legend and the very best for protecting us and our families from the nastiest things out there.
LeDeliverance is one of the most potent antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal combinations available. Some common methods of use are to soak the family toothbrushes in LeDeliverance mixed with water. Add to water before washing clothes, dishes, or wiping down surfaces. Place on a cotton ball or in an inhaler and carry with you, inhaling frequently during the cold and flu season. Use to eliminate airborne bacteria and viruses.
Frequent and consistent use of LeDeliverance also strengthens the immune system. LeDeliverance is an expectorant and helps the lymph system to drain. This is a very effective oil. Everyone should have it on hand.
LeDeliverance can be used, diluted, or diffused, in the home as a cleaner and air purifier to fight viruses and airborne bacteria.
The phenols in Cistus make it stimulating to the immune system and to the lungs. It can be useful in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis. Cistus is an excellent oil for lymph drainage.
Cistus has a beautiful aroma. The aroma is floral with a hint of honey, but it is not heady, cloying, or overwhelming. It would make a unique and beautiful perfume, in my opinion. The aroma of Cistus is something you will either just love or really dislike. Cistus is stimulating to the upper quadrant of the brain and to the senses, amplifying our sense of touch, hearing, and sight. It is useful diffused during meditation or when pondering deeply.
The aftermath of traumatic events, quarrels, or painful losses can leave us feeling empty inside with nothing left to give and a diminished capacity to feel and show emotion. Emotionally warming, It can start the process of thaw through the wastelands of such frozen emotions.
Cistus is one of the earliest aromatic substances. References are made to it in some ancient texts. The Rose of Sharon referred to in the Bible is believed to be Cistus.
Black Cumin is used traditionally for circulatory ailments, to strengthen the urinary system, and to aid in the removing toxins and excess fluids. This oil is also used as an immune stimulant, and to clear lymphatic congestion. It is listed in many texts as a nervine for the relief of nervous exhaustion, tiredness, debility, insomnia, lethargy, and migraine headaches. I have no experience with the internal consumption of Black Cumin Oil. It is recommended by some in protocols for hepatitis.
The presence of beta-sitosterol, an anti-tumor sterol, gives credence to its traditional use in treating abscesses and tumors of the abdomen, eyes, and liver. Studies show that black cumin is effective in treating opioid dependence.
Its many uses have earned it a name in Arabic which means “seed of blessing.” In Islam, it is regarded as one of the greatest of the healing medicines available and is listed as a natural drug in the “Medicine of the Prophet (Muhammad).” The Prophet Muhammad is said to have counseled someone, while traveling, to crush the seeds, add a little oil, and place the mixture in the nostrils with the comment that “This black cumin is healing for all diseases except death.”
Before doing this or any herbal cleanse I recommend reading Doing a Cleanse Right. This kit comes in 4 versions. Two reset kits one with traditional tinctures and one with tinctures made in glycerin. Glycerin is often a better choice for children. The other two are the Reset Plus kits. They contain essential oils and Redmond clay to help the cleansing process go smoothly.
Let’s talk about the 4 tinctures in these kits for a minute.
CD is a combination to be used for inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. It could be useful for such conditions as chronic indigestion, colitis, ulcers of the small intestine, and constipation. The Plantain, Marshmallow, and Papaya Leaf are particularly soothing and healing, keeping any cleansing side effects milder than they might otherwise be. CD is effective as a mild colon cleanse. I recommend using it 3 or 4 times every year for a week or two just to keep the colon healthy and efficient. As always, be sure to support the liver and the kidneys whenever a colon cleanse of any kind, however mild, is attempted. KB, LC, RC, and this CD formula together make a good all-around cleansing program. Use 15-20 drops every 2-4 hours for as long as you need to.
Use to cleanse and strengthen the urinary tract to help with eliminating toxins and waste products from the body. The kidneys also regulate the liquid-to-solids ratio in the blood and tissues. The KB formula is made up completely of herbs that support and strengthen the kidneys and cellular tissues in general. It has not really an effective bacterial fighter. Be sure to use KB with IF (formerly Infection Fighter) or RC (formerly Red Clover Combination) if a kidney infection is suspected. This is an excellent and wonderfully strong kidney formula. Some of the herbs are also liver cleansers. I prefer to use KB for a few weeks (with an infection fighter) then switch to the milder diuretic formula, KT for a period of rebuilding and soothing of the urinary tract. If needed I will repeat this pattern—KB followed by KT—several times until the urinary system is operating optimally.
LC aids the liver in secreting the bile into the colon which is necessary for digestive function. When the liver is sluggish, the result is indigestion, constipation, fatigue, headaches, and a long list of other problems which are somewhat unique to each individual. It is recommended to strengthen and support the kidneys and colon while working with the liver by using either KB or KT for the kidneys, CD for the colon, and RC (formerly Red Clover combination) to keep the blood clean of toxins and impurities. Devil’s Claw and Bilberry are specific to sugar problems associated with liver damage or clogging. Other herbs that are beneficial to the liver include Wild Yam, Catnip, Cramp Bark, Skullcap, and Licorice Root.
RC is one of the most effective infection-fighter formulas that I have ever seen and is my personal favorite! This combination is a particularly potent blood cleanser and is very good at keeping a localized infection from spreading and growing. RC can be used to prevent contagion when everyone around you is coming down with one bug or another. It was even used, in desperation, by a pregnant woman with a wonderful outcome for both mom and baby. RC is safe enough to use when nursing. For best results, be very faithful about taking RC regularly. Keep the doses as high as can be tolerated by the body and continue taking them for a few days after you think you are completely well. Any surviving bacteria will be very healthy and resistant. It is always best to avoid a second round of any illness.
3 additional products are in the plus kits. Two oils and Redmond clay.
LeIQ essential oil contains frankincense, sandalwood, and helichrysum. These oils are high in sesquiterpenes and cross the blood/brain barrier to cleanse, nourish, and carry oxygen to the brain. This blend seems to dissolve some types of chemicals and clear them from the receptor sites feeding the pituitary, pineal, and hypothalamus glands.
LeRevitalize essential oil cleanses the liver, but does so gently and steadily. It stabilizes energy levels and improves vitality. LeRevitalize is a good digestive aid, particularly in eliminating bloating, belching, and heartburn. LeRevitalize is good for lymphatic congestion and immune stimulation.
Use clay to aid in the elimination of toxins, drugs, and pollutants from the body by using it as a toxin soak. Toxin soaks should be a big part of your routine. A whole body soak is the most common way, but personally, I prefer just a foot soak. A whole body soak can sometimes leave you feeling weak, wrung out, and sleepy. Use 2 tablespoons of Clay in a tub of hot water and climb in. Soak for at least 20 minutes, keeping the water as hot as you can. Alternatively, place 2 – 3 T. of clay in a large pan (big enough for your feet) of very hot water. Soak for about 20 minutes. It is amazing how well pulling the toxins through the feet works. It is just as effective as the whole body soak, much easier, and doesn’t seem to make me feel as tired.
