An Answer to Urinary Track Infections
by J.
January 2006
I would like to offer a remedy.
I suffer from many urinary tract infections related to abnormalities from birth. These infections have been getting worse over the years and the last two were extremely painful. Within 2 hours of the first symptoms I could barely walk. Over the last 18 months, I began developing allergies to the antibiotics. So, on the last infection I decided to try herbs and was astounded at the results. No more antibiotics for me.
I took 1 tsp of raw apple cider vinegar every 15 minutes, 2 homemade garlic pills every 6 hours, 2 homemade Cayenne pepper pills every hour, a dropper full of Immune Booster every 8 hours and the infection was gone faster than the antibiotic usually relieves it. Since antibiotics usually take 5-10 days, I decided to follow up the above regimen w/ 1tsp of apple cider vinegar, 2 garlic pills, 2 cayenne pills and Immune Booster 3-4 times a day for a week.
That was October 1st and I haven't had a problem. No re-occurrence, no side effects.
Thank you for your time, your wonderful articles, your wonderful store, and your wonderful herbs.
Gratefully yours,
~J.

I love your herbs! And I have never tasted better Peppermint. I've started mixing teas for friends, and they love your herbs, too. :) My kids (almost 3 and almost 2) caught a cold at church a few weeks ago, and I've been giving them plain peppermint tea to help clear their noses when they get too stuffy. They think it's the best treat, and love it. My daughter especially loves the Sleepy Time Tea with Chamomile flowers. It's become our nightly 'thing' to have a cup of tea and read a bedtime or Bible story. Also, the Nutritional Herbology book has been of great help to me, and since I've started using Red Raspberry in most of my teas, my not-so-fun monthly female cramps have almost disappeared! Thank you so much for offering your herbs at such wonderful prices. I can't find better prices anywhere.

Did You Know?
Cayenne powder has been used by researchers in Antarctica to help them bare the extremely cold temperatures. The Cayenne powder is sprinkled into the boots before putting them on. As the powder slowly comes in contact with the skin through the socks, it will draw blood to the feet, thus bringing much needed warms to the extremities. The one draw back is the red powder stains light colored socks. From our readings, it seems the stained socks were a small price to pay for the great benefit of being able to feel your toes after a little while out in the blistering cold. After trying this on a number of occasions during the winter near lake Superior, I'm also convinced the stained socks are worth it.
