Herbs & Supplements Sources

People often ask me what products I used when treating my parasitic infection.  I did a lot of research to find the best quality and most effective products. I looked for herbs that are organic or wild-crafted¹.  I avoided products containing GMO ingredients (i.e., genetically modified organisms).  I worked hard to find products made with quality ingredients and as little “other” ingredients as possible.  I spent and continue to spend a lot of time researching by reading books, online blogs, online articles, and natural products magazines.  I continue to take courses related to health-related topics like nutrition, herbalism, medicinal botany, parasitology, etc.  I also have gone and continue to go to numerous health-related conferences and natural products expos to learn about new products.  In addition, I have gone to scores of health foods stores across the country looking for new products and new foods, as well as to talk to the people that work (as well as those that shop) at these stores – many of which provide a wealth of information.  This also allows me to share some of the things that I have learned that may help them or someone that they may encounter in the future.

By using the links (except Natural Hope Naturals) that are on this website provides me with a small commission that helps defray the costs in maintaining this website and continuing to provide valuable information.  Please read my affiliate disclosure (linked below).  I currently participate in affiliate or rewards programs with VitaCost, iHerb, Amazon, and PureLife Health Equipment.  I do not recommend products, because I have the potential to gain financially.  I share these products, because I have researched, used, and continue to use these products.  My intent is to provide honest and unbiased information first.  If I am able to earn compensation to help support my ability to provide quality content, then that is a wonderful bonus for which I would be very grateful. 
 
¹I only use tinctures that are organic or wild-crafted, including Gaia Herbs, Herb Pharm, Natural Hope Herbals, Mountain Rose Herbs, or my own.  There are other quality brands that meet this criteria of being organic or wild-crafted, but I am only listing what I regularly use not every company in the world.  If a product does not state that the herb is organic or wild-crafted, I would not use.
²Amazon carries many of the products included in my lists at VitaCost and/or iHerb.  Many of the products are also available at local natural food stores, food co-ops, and Whole Foods, but I have not found one store that carries all of the items that I use.  Many of the herbs can be sourced at local herb shops or possibly found growing in the wild near you.  Mountain Rose Herbs, Frontier Co-op, and StarWest Botanicals are great online sources for bulk herbs for making your own tinctures. 

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE: I do not have affiliate relationships with Gaia Herbs, Herb Pharm, Natural Hope Herbals, StarWest Botanicals, or Mountain Rose Herbs at this time, but some of these products may be available at sites that I am an affiliate.  

Best to all!

I really like Natural Hope Herbals Black Walnut Tea, which contains Marshmallow Root Powder, Plantain Leaf Powder, Black Walnut Hull Powder, and Anise Seed Powder (all organic or wild-crafted).  It was created as an enamel strengthening tea, but is also very supportive during my parasite cleanses.  Black Walnut Hull, Plantain Leaf, and Anise Seed all have anti-parasitic properties.  Marshmallow Root is soothing to the intestinal tract, which helps heal the gut.  Plus this tea tastes great!  They gave me a bottle of their Para-Cleanse tincture that I will be using for 10 days at the beginning of September, and will post a review in the October 2017 newsletter.

Why I like Natural Hope Herbals?  I became acquainted (in February 2017) with this company after buying their Black Walnut Tea at Miller’s Natural Foods* in Lancaster County, PA.  I had the pleasure of meeting the owners at Family Farm Days in July (see Events page).  They were holding multiple demos on tincture making to help educate the community on how to make their own, so I had the opportunity to see first-hand how they operate.  I found the owners of Natural Hope Herbals to be running a small business with integrity, passion, and a commitment to sustainability. 

  • Extremely knowledgeable and very genuine
  • Growing plants locally on their organic Amish farm in Pennsylvania
  • Quality products
  • Very reasonable prices
  • Wide selection of single tinctures, blended tinctures, herbal teas, salves, oils, etc.

* Located in Bird-in-Hand.  If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Miller’s Natural Foods.  They have a great selection of natural and organic foods including local produce, local dairy, and local meats.  They have an expansive selection of teas, supplements, herbs, and natural body care items.
