How to Take Herbs - Product Forms and Suggested Servings

Product Forms

Most HomeGrown Herbalist products are sold in three forms powders, tinctures and capsules. People often ask which form is best. The truth is, it matters very little how we get herbs into our body but there are some advantages to each form.
Powders: Powders are the least expensive form. Powders can be made into teas or tinctures or you can just put the powder into a little juice or water and drink it.
Tinctures: Tinctures are alcohol extracts of herbs. They act a little more quickly in the body and are very portable. Tinctures can be taken alone or mixed with a little juice or water.
Capsules: Capsules are my least favorite form personally. I believe that many herbs are more effective if capsules arent used.

Any of the above forms can be mixed with your morning smoothie or with yogurt, apple sauce etc... Tinctures mix really well with these products: Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil. This is a great way to get tinctures into children and adults that are sensitive to yucky herb flavors.

What are Essential Oils?

How do i Use Essential Oils?

How can i learn more about essential oils?

Essential oils are highly concentrated natural substances that should always be used in the proper dosage and with some important precautions in mind. Each essential oil has specific properties (those of the plant from which they come) and it is important to know its effects and characteristics.

In general (although there are exceptions) it is not advisable to put it directly on the skin, as some of them are irritating, but rather dilute them in some conductive substance that reduces the effect (water, vegetable oils, hydrolates, clays, etc). We do not recommend ingesting any essential oil product.

In this write-up we'd like to share some of our favorite and other common applications of essential oils.

- Humidifiers -

Find a tiny humidifier bowl or diffuser. Add a little warm water to the top of the bowl. Add 4 or 5 drops of an essential oil whose fragrance you like (the flower essences are wonderful: lavender, jasmine, rose, neroli, etc.). To clean it, wash with water and sea salt

- Beauty Serums -

Choose an oil depending on your skin type (coconut oil, lotion, avocado oil ect) Add an appropriate dose of essential oils according to your skin type combine in a container, shake it slightly and you'll end up with an excellent beauty serum, better than anything you have tried so far!

- Massage Oil -

Fill a small glass with almond vegetable oil (the best for massage, as it is one of the slowest to absorb). Add 4 drops of of lavender, jasmine, immortelle, chamomile or neroli because they are the most relaxing. Stir with a wooden spoon and apply to the body (even if it remains oily, do not remove it, it will hydrate your skin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Shampoo and Gel -

Buy a bottle of your favorite shampoo. For the gel you can Add 20 drops in total of one or more of these essential oils: lavender, geranium, marjoram, lemon, cypress. Add 15 drops to the shampoo of one or more of these essential oils: tea tree, rosemary, thyme, jasmine.

- Relaxing baths -

Fill your tub with hot water Add a glass of sea salt or beach sand Add 10 drops of a relaxing essential oil (lavender, chamomile, jasmine) Hop inside the bathtub and soak for 10 minutes or so with some good music and your favorite candles (beeswax) Get out and pat dry carefully so the oils stay on your skin.

- Sitz baths -

Sitz baths have historically been used for scars, hemorrhoids, stinging, infections, etc. Fill your tub with hot water Add 5 drops of tea tree essential oil to disinfect 2 drops of lavender + 2 of cypress for hemorrhoids or inflammations Stir the water well and wash the area for 5 minutes

- Compresses -

Heat half a liter of water until warm Add 5 drops of an essential oil Soak a clean and disinfected towel and drain Apply in the area you want to treat

- Facial sauna -

Put water to heat in a pot Add 2 drops of thyme essential oil Place your face on top of the pot (stay far enough not to burn but close enough for steam to reach you) This treatment is excellent for before removing black spots and pimples They say that For colds to put 1 drop of eucalyptus essential oil, remove the pot from the heat, cover the head and inhale the steam.

- Vaporizations -

Fill a spray bottle with 100ml of water Add 40 drops of your favorite aromatic essential oi Spray curtains, bedspreads, sofas, drawers, cabinets, or clothing.

- Inhalations -

Some essential oils like lavender are incredibly useful simply by smelling directly from the bottle (to relax, sleep, or support compulsive coughing).

- Masks or plasters -

Mix white clay with water until you get a cream texture Add a teaspoon of a vegetable oil you like and 5 drops of an essential oil appropriate for the purpose you want to use it with Stir, apply the paste, leave it to act for 10 or 15 minutes and remove with plenty of warm water.

The HomeGrown Approach - What Makes us Different?

Many of our Herbal Products are created with herbs that are grown right here! Of course there are many plants that are outside the scope of our ability to grow in Idaho, due to either climate or quantity requirements. So when we need to supplement our growing efforts, we purchase only the finest product from quality, growers that we trust! All of our Single Herb Tinctures are made right here at our own facility with a single plant.

Our plants are grown, weeded, harvested and processed by caring herbalists filled with healing intent, not by machines. HomeGrown plant harvesting is timed for maximum potency...not the day the combine is scheduled. - Only the most medicinal portions of the HomeGrown plants are utilized for medicine making. - No pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers of any kind are used in our herb gardens. HomeGrown wildcrafted herbs are ethically collected and identified by experienced herbalists, not minimum-wage, apathetic employees.

Yeah, we might be crazy to go to all the trouble when we could import material from Bulgaria for a tenth of the price, but we have experienced the difference in the quality of the end product. We are confident that when you use our HomeGrown herbals, you WILL see what all the fuss was about!
