  • Excerpts from Nutritional Herbology

    The berries have a rich tradition as a sexual stimulant and aphrodisiac. They are said to make infertile males fertile and increase breast size in women. Scientists have found steroidal precursors in saw palmetto berries, but these sitosterols are not absorbed well in the intestines. Even though saw palmetto may not improve your sex life to any great extent or give greater definition to your musculature, it has been shown to help men reduce their enlarged prostrates. The ability of the berries to relive the inflammation and pain of benign prostatic hypertrophy qualifies it as a sexual stimulant, relatively speaking, since the absence of pain is pleasure.

    Contains aromatic compounds that increase the flow of urine, are antiseptic and shrink inflamed tissues in the urinary system. It has been used to treat prostatitis, impotence and urinary tract infection.


    From Our Reading and/or Experience...

    • As a powder, we use Saw Palmetto in tincture combinations and capsules. Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies. Except as a tea, as powders are not normally used in tea combinations.
    • It can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
    • It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
    • As is the case with most herbs, Saw Palmetto should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.

    Dear Shoshanna,
    I am so excited that I hardly know where to begin. First of all, I want to thank you for sending us the complimentary food-grade glycerin for
    tinctures!

    We have been your customers for the last three or so years. Your service is always wonderful and shipping is quick. We appreciate the time and effort you put into educating those of us who wish to learn more about using herbs safely, especially for those of us who are oftentimes nursing and pregnant
    or both. :-)

    I have gained so much knowledge from your website, reviews, and the books that you sell. Thank you to your family from ours. We had dreamed of being able to take care of our family with herbs and when we had found you through your parents' website for NGJ ministry, it was an answer to prayer. Out of all our four children, we've only had one of them take antibiotics for just one little occasion. I didn't know then what I know now. I thank the Lord for making our pathway straight and helping us as we sought this information.

    I wanted to let you know about our website work, especially the magazines because we are working on product reviews. I have directed many people your way for various books, herbs, and information.

    I was also wanting to thank you for sending out the recent emails and tutorials on making tinctures. I have been told by mouth how to make them but didn't feel completely comfortable about tackling the feat myself (my husband made the bilberry one first) until I saw your DVD. For a busy homeschooling momma, this product is such a blessing. Thank you to all who produced it.

    Please tell your mother I said, "Hello" and give her a big hug from me. I read her "Created to Be His Help Meet" years ago and have gone through the book at least four times since. It has allowed us to continue our honeymoon and sweet stage even to this day (almost eight years) and has allowed me to direct many women to it. I have been blessed with starting our marriage out right and further polishing it with that amazing book along with so many others from other Titus 2 women.


    For His glory,
    Franicia
