Don't be triffling with Triphala

It's little joke amongs healthcare professionals that no matter what it all comes down to the poo. You can go through open heart surgery and the first thing you worry about is that you can't have a bowel movement! So many folks don't like senna based products or the otc drugs but it seems like no one knows about the amazing TRIPHALA!

Triphala ("three fruits"), an herb originating in India, has been found to act as a complete body cleanser. Not only does Triphala help to detoxify and cleanse the colon, it also purifies the blood and removes toxins from the liver. Other cleansing benefits of Triphala include reducing some forms of cholesterol (serum cholesterol), and reduces high blood pressure.

 Triphala is categorized as a purgative form of laxative, i.e. an herb type of intestinal stimulant that works similar to Senna and Rhubarb. Purgative preparations are often needed by people who have certain degrees of liver and gall bladder congestion. As Triphala is known as a cleaning agent, including a blood cleanser, the herb is very beneficial for these people. The herb also has a high nutritional value, including high levels of vitamin C.

Triphala, said to contain three different 'fruits' is well known in ancient Indian folklore, and is widely used by natural healers experienced in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, which literally translated means 'long life practice'. The fruits, Harada, Amla, and Bihara, relate to the three sections or 'humors' of Indian medicine.

• Amalaki (emblica officinalis), commonly known as Indian gooseberry or amla, is considered one of the best rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda. It’s a strong natural antioxidant containing 20 times more vitamin C than orange juice. In India, amalaki is known as the “nurse herb” because it strengthens the immune system and cools the body, balancing the Pitta dosha.
• Haritaki (terminalia chebula) has the strongest laxative powers of the three fruits contained in triphala. In Tibet, haritaki is so highly revered that in their sacred paintings, it’s often depicted in the extended palm of the medicine Buddha. The herb also has astringent properties and balances Vata.
• Bibhitaki (terminalia belerica) is an excellent rejuvenative with both laxative and astringent properties. It eliminates excess mucous in the body, balancing the Kapha dosha. In addition, bibhitaki is a powerful treatment for a variety of lung conditions, including bronchitis and asthma.

Other Benefits of Triphala include:

• Improves digestion,
• Reduces serum cholesterol,
• Improves circulation (potentiates adrenergic function),
• Contains 31% linoleic acid,
• Exerts a marked cardio-protective effect,
• Reduces high blood pressure,
• Improves liver function,
• Has proven anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties,
• Expectorant, hypotensive

You may be stinky but dang you so good

We aren't really talking about you we talking to the lovely Durian. That smell that can permeate the nostrils and wonder when the last time we took the trash out.

As a Westerner the smell can turn you away but don't let the smell fool you the benefits far outweigh. Durian has a lovely array of benefits for the body but most people just love how it makes them feel-EUPHORIC! The reason behind this is because Durian contains high levels of tryptophan. This is an amino acid and a tryptamine (similar to serotonin, melatonin, and DMT). Researchers have discovered that tryptophan helps both anxious, depressed, repressed people, as well as insomniacs. Tryptophan works by raising serotonin levels in the brain. When serotonin levels increase, a euphoric feeling is felt as a free passage is cleared for nerve impulses to travel.

Other AMAZING benefits of durian fruit:

1. Durian fruit contains folic acid and iron are high then the durian is believed to overcome anemia.
2. In addition to folic acid and iron, durian fruit also contain fiber that can solve the problem of constipation, and even skin durian also can expedite the process of defecation by grinding until creamed durian then rub keperut.
3. Durian fruit is also a source of vitamin C which is useful as a natural antioxidant that can inhibit the aging process of the skin. 
4. In the durian fruit also contains calcium, potassium and B vitamins are very good for healthy bones and joints.
5. The content of manganese in the durian can keep blood sugar levels stable.
6. Durian fruit contains Niacin and Thiamin which can be used to increase appetite.
7. Can help overcome migraines or headaches because durian contains Riboflavin or vitamin B2.
8. Can reduce stress and depression because in the durian fruit contained pyridoxine.
9. With a phosphorus content of durian fruit can also help dental health.

 

Say Bonjour to your clay, it may answer

We have been carrying French Clay and we are feeling incredibly, how you say..je ne sais quoi.

French Green Clay has enormous absorbent powers due to the constitution of its micro molecules. It literally "drinks" oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your skin. Its toning action stimulates the skin by bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, revitalizing the complexion, and tightening pores.  Other external uses for French green clay include poultices to treat arthritis, sore muscles, and sprains; ready-to-use pastes for application to cuts, bruises, insect bites, stings, and minor burns; and mineral baths for stress relief. Some maintain that the plant matter in French green clay has anti-inflammatory as well as antiseptic or bactericidal properties.   

To make a facial mask from French Green clay, combine 1/2 to 1 tbsp of the powder with 1–2 tbsp of water and apply to the skin; rinse with warm water after 10 minutes. Some users add a few drops of aloe vera gel to the clay mixture. A recipe for a facial mask for oily skin consists of mixing 1 tbsp of powdered clay with 5 drops of jojoba oil. As a rule, French green clay masks should be used only once a week because the clay tends to dry the skin.

You can use French Clay internally as well. French Green clay contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, phosphorous, zinc aluminum, silicon, copper, selenium, cobalt, micro-algaes, algae, and phyto-nutrients. French green clay has the ability to remove toxic metals and chemical residues, bacteria, and blood toxins with virtually no side effects of constipation, diarrhea, or stomach cramping. It is known to remove radiation, arsenic, lead, mercury, and aluminum amid other toxic metals in less than six weeks. The more you use, the quicker you detox.

I'm not crying, i'm not high, I'm just allergic to Spring

I know your eyes are telling a different story then you would prefer to people to believe. Our most common prescription for this spring time disaster story is the easiest! MSM drops! You can also take MSM in powder or capsule but if it's the eyes that are the major annoyance try the drops.

MSM does NOT act as a anti-histamine. MSM works because it blocks histamines to attach to sensitive tissues of mucus membranes. Which will then prevent the histamine from creating the allergic reaction seen with inflammation, swelling, and fluid build-up. MSM does not produce any side effects, unlike the OTC anti-histamines.

 You can also use the drops in your ears if you feel a bit of an infection or build up of wax common with allergies!! Hooray for MSM!!!

Be a Great Incan Warrior

So every once in awhile Dr. Oz introduces something to the world and our store gets visitors we would never have pictured to come to the store. The best part is they remind us of things we forgot about! Some of it we don't really jump on the band wagon with but in this case it reminded us the glory of Sacha Inca! 

The ancient Incas of Peru were well acquainted with the nutritional force behind sacha inca. Cultivated over 3,000 years ago!  Exceptionally plentiful in beneficial fats (14 grams per ounce), unsaturated fatty acids (linoleum, linolenic), protein (nine grams per ounce) and vitamins A and E, sacha inca was an important staple of the Incan diet. Inca peanut, otherwise known as sacha inca, is a powerful superfood chock-full of omega-3s, protein and fiber. As an inflammation fighter, sacha inca is extraordinary. The brain, bones and joints all benefit from the remarkable nutrition of this little known edible. These Amazonian nuts are also a formidable protector against cancer, heart disease and free-radicals.

We carry the Sacha Inca Protein Powder, which has over 60% complete protein, ranking 98 out of 100 on the Protein Efficiency Ratio and containing all the essential amino acids needed to build muscle. It is also known for its high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids which can help improve joint health and muscle recovery. In addition, the high levels of calcium help support healthy eyes, skin, teeth and bones.Try adding 1-2 tablespoons to your smoothie,desserts, cereals or just pop it in water and hop to the gym!
