Xeno Medisium Jannah Paradise Herbal Medicine To Cure Diseases Caused By Black Magic Attacks (Sihr) From The Holy Quran & Al-Hadith Podcast Edition by Xeno Medisium & Jannah Firdaus MediaproBlack Magic (Sihr), also known as sorcery or witchcraft, has a complex history in Islam. In Islamic tradition, black magic is seen as a forbidden and sinful practice. It is believed to involve the invocation of evil spirits or supernatural forces like jinn race (demon) to cause harm to others. The Holy Quran explicitly prohibits engaging in black magic and warns against its dangers. Throughout Islamic history, there have been cases of individuals practicing black magic (sihr), often for personal gain or to harm others. These practitioners are considered deviant and are condemned by mainstream Islamic scholars and communities. Islamic scholars have written extensively on the topic, emphasizing the importance of seeking protection from black magic through prayer, recitation of specific Quranic verses, and maintaining a strong connection with Allah SWT (God). Islamic teachings encourage believers to rely on faith, trust in Allah SWT protection, and seek refuge in His guidance to guard against the influence of black magic. In Islamic belief, there is a connection between black magic and the jinn race. The jinn race are supernatural beings created by Allah SWT (God) and are mentioned in The Holy Quran. They possess free will and can choose to follow either good or evil. Some individuals who practice black magic may seek assistance from the jinn in order to carry out their harmful intentions. Black magic often involves invoking and seeking the help of jinn in order to cause harm to others. This can include using specific spells, rituals, or incantations to gain control over the jinn and manipulate them to carry out the practitioner's desires. However, it is important to note that engaging in black magic is strictly prohibited in Islam. It is worth mentioning that not all jinn are involved in black magic, and not all black magic involves the assistance of jinn. Black magic can also be performed without the involvement of jinn, using other means such as spells, potions, or other supernatural forces.

Episode: 1416 Technology on Hold: ideas that return after a long time.  Today, technology on hold.

On the top-selling herbs list for 2023 (the most recent data), the herbs in places #19-21 were Tribulus terrestris, Pycnogenol (an extract of Pinus pinaster), and garlic. Today we continue our series on commercially popular herbs, and share our views as herbalists on the actions, benefits, and applications of these ones.The pine extract is an interesting item, given that it's not an entry for the herb itself but rather for a specific proprietary extract from one species. It's true that this extract has been well-studied and shown to exert good effects, but it's also true that pine is much more than this one product.Today's trio also offers an excellent opportunity to apply herbal energetics to help us critique and navigate marketing hype. While tribulus is very popular as a body-building aid, its cooling nature tells us that it is most helpful for those who already run hot. Garlic is the polar opposite of that. While garlic is very famous for its capacity to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, these effects are not as straightforward in a hot, dry, tense body – garlic could cause adverse effects for such a constitution. So, looking through the lens of herbal energetics remains one of our best methods for matching the right herb to the right person.19.

Mutual aid projects are a natural place for herbalists to gravitate, and setting one up in your community is easier than you think! Our mutual aid startup guide is a free resource we offer you to help with this. You can download it right here:Mutual Aid Startup GuideIn today's episode we want to emphasize two key things about this: First, it doesn't have to be an enormous undertaking. You can start with a small circle of friends, and build from there. The keys are consistency and continuity of communication.Second, getting started can be very simple! So often, people feel hesitant to begin – thinking they need a fully fleshed-out concept and perhaps some financial backing before they start. But mutual aid can be something that fits into your schedule and that lifts you up instead of burning you out.We discuss three examples to show what mutual aid can look like at different scales: a small personal support network, a medium community fix-it club, and a larger community disaster response team.We hope this episode inspires you to get started, and if you have any questions, reach out to us!Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.

In this episode, good friend Amber Lynn Vitale joins us to unpack the many layers of one of the hottest new supplements in the past year, Berberine. She shared what's real, based on science and as a consumer how to spot a poorly made version of Berberine.What is Berberine?Berberine is found in Goldenseal, Oregon Grape, and Turmeric Tree also known as Barberry. In all these plants Berberine comes from the roots, and is used in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Western herbalism. Bitter and Astringent, it is traditionally known to reduce fat and improve sugar metabolism by improving glucose and lipid receptor expression.Numerous studies on Berberine show it supports healthy:Blood Sugar levelsLipid profileBlood PressureInflammatory responseWeight and Body CompositionCognitive functionReproductive function…especially researched in PCOSBerbevis clinical studies show benefits in body composition with fat redistribution away from the organs, glucose and insulin metabolism, and bioavailability with respect to both absorption and half-life potency.Guest: Amber Lynn Vitale, CN is Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® and a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional™. She is also an Ayurvedic Clinical Consultant on faculty with Wild Rose College of Herbal Medicine, and on the advisory board for Natural Practitioner and Taste for Life magazines. Amber's journey in the healing arts developed richly as she worked for years in practices with Integrative Physicians, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, and Nurses. Since 2008 she has been producing written and video educational content for many publications, an educational YouTube channel, and Instagram and Facebook pages. By 2012 she had realized that raw materials sourcing, labeling transparency, legitimate certifications, and educational support were the criteria that would set quality natural products brands apart from the rest; and she made it her mission to educate both the practitioner and the public about the standards that ensure a reliable product.  Recently she founded Trifecta for Health, LLC using her years of experience to develop synergistic health protocols tailored to individual needs, and provide brand support for the best supplemental products currently available.Read More about BerberineLearn more about Emerald Labs Berberine Phytosome Use the code Forever to get 20% Off your order at Emeraldlabs.com

Our semi-annual 20% off Sale is active now!For the entire month of July,use code hawthorn at checkoutto take 20% off all our online courses!Sussing out herb-drug interactions is complicated! In this episode we take the example of Celexa + skullcap, and demonstrate the process of investigation we'd use to sort out whether a proposed risk is real.We start with the Botanical Safety Handbook, because it has certain features which make it significantly better than other manuals or databases. These include the varied relevant experience and skills of the editorial team, its clarity about real vs theorized reactions, and other critical data points which are directly relevant to the herbalist's practice.Checking one resource isn't sufficient, though. We also need to consider the fact that ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence', and remember that constitutional variations can significantly change the efficacy of a given herb for a particular person. Information outside of scientific studies – such as the popularity of an herb or the prevalence of a drug, as well as traditional practices with plants – can help us to orient ourselves more precisely.For further education about herb-drug interactions:Herb-Drug Interactions & Herb Safety – our complete course on this subject teaches you all the ins & outs of identifying potential interactions, avoiding them, and conducting reality checks on information you encounter about these risks.The Botanical Safety Handbook – our #1 resource for this information.HHP 101: How Herbs Are Different From Drugs – a key episode of our podcast, these concepts are helpful when learning how HDI may occur.Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.

To Benefit from a Functional Mushroom, You Need to Know What You're Getting.Not all fungal products are equal. Functional "mushroom" products generally contain EITHER the mushroom (fruiting body) OR the mycelium (vegetative body). Notice the quotations around the word "mushroom."Even though mushrooms and mycelium are two very distinct and different parts of these fungal organisms, some supplement purveyors label their products as containing mushrooms when in fact, they contain only grain, and the mycelium that grows on it.  Both the scientific research and respected practitioners in the field confirm that the functional value is higher when using the mushroom, rather than the mycelium. Especially if it's a mycelium fermented grain product, which ends up being mostly grain.Guest: Chief Medical Herbalist Lee Carroll from the Real Mushrooms Science & Medical Team.

"I spent the last three years looking at traveling to these centenarian zones, these blue zones, trying to understand why these people live long and healthy lives." "You have to serve your purpose and show up in a way that really is committed to that every day.” "If we can transform the microbiome of the soil, we can get more nutrient-dense food and medicine, we can sequester carbon, we can clean up our waters, and we can really make a very broad impact the Earth." "We grow all our herbs that feed into our products through a regenerative organic practice.” “When you talk about regenerative agriculture and restoring the immunity, it has its foundation in restoring the biodiversity of our gut."

Episode 172 - It's Not HRT or Herbal – It's What Works for YouIn today's episode, I'm doing something a little different. I've pulled together five short clips from past episodes of The Menopause and Cancer Podcast — covering everything from HRT after breast cancer, to herbal treatments, sleep support, and even intimacy after cancer.Why? Because this week, my book Navigating Menopause After Cancer is officially at the printers — and I still can't quite believe it! I wanted to share a little preview of what's inside. These clips reflect the heart of the book: a holistic menopause after cancer toolkit with real expert advice, real options, and the belief that no one approach is better than another. It's about finding what's safe, what's effective, and what works for you.I always go to the right expert for the right topic — because that's how we build truly trustworthy knowledge. I wouldn't ask a cancer exercise specialist to talk about herbs, and I wouldn't ask a herbalist about surgical recovery. Each voice in today's mash-up speaks from the experience in their field.These are just a few of the amazing contributors to the podcast — and I'm proud to say that over 20 brilliant doctors and specialists contributed to the actual book.Below, I have linked all the full YouTube videos from the short clips. Just click on the words: Exercise, Herbal Medicine, Sleep, HRT after breast cancer, IntimacyAnd finally, you can buy a copy of Navigating Menopause After Cancer super soon - keep your eyes peeled!Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro05:53 "Exercise Boosts Sleep, Reduces Depression"07:54 Herbal Medicine Insights for Cancer Survivors10:55 Phytoestrogens: Potential Cancer Benefits13:49 "Zoe's Sleep Improvement Tips"18:37 Navigating HRT Conversations After Cancer22:55 Shared Decision-Making in HRT27:21 Challenging Emotional Complexity Perceptions Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub

Bandaids are undeniably handy, and there are plenty of situations where they do the job that needs doing. But there are also lots of times when a wound is too big, too irregular, or too sensitive for a bandaid to be the best choice. That's where bespoke bandaging comes into play! You can learn bandaging basics really quickly – yes, even through podcast audio – and that's what today's episode is all about.Bandages are extremely versatile and customizable – even without getting a dozen different types of gauze and pads. Truly, a box of 2″ and 4″ roller gauze, plus some gauze pads and micropore tape, is plenty for most situations you'll run into. For the purposes of practice, they're all you need to get started.When you're practicing your bandaging technique, your big goal is to make the bandages neat, secure, and yet still allowing for a normal range of motion. The best way to get good at this is to practice. The best way to practice is to get some friends together for a “mummy party”, where everyone gets bandaged by everyone else!We're highlighting first aid herbalism on the podcast all month.

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Jannine Krause explores the intricate relationship between weight gain and sexual health. She discusses how changes in body weight can affect circulation, confidence, and libido, and emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues holistically. Drawing from her experiences and insights from Chinese medicine, she highlights the role of digestion, stress, and lifestyle habits in weight management. The episode also offers practical solutions, including dietary adjustments and herbal remedies, to help listeners regain balance and improve their overall health.   What You'll Learn In This Episode: Weight gain can impact sexual health and libido. Circulation changes with weight gain affect confidence. Chinese medicine offers insights into weight management. Damp accumulation in the body can lead to weight gain. Stress affects liver function and digestion. Eating habits and meal timing are crucial for digestion. Herbal remedies can support digestive health. Weight gain patterns are often linked to lifestyle changes. Maintaining balance in the body is essential for health. Open communication about sexual health is important in relationships. Resources From The Show: HCL Challenge - Get Thorne Betaine HCL + Pepsin - take one capsule with meal one and watch for any burning, no burning go for 2 capsules with the next meal and increase by one capsule till you either reach 5 capsules or you have a slight burning in the stomach. The more capsules you can tolerate without a burn the more deficient in stomach acid you are. Use 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a few ounces of water and drink it. You can repeat the baking soda drink if needed. Most people will end up taking between 2-6 HCI capsules per meal. Digestive Enzymes - Steven Wright's Company "Healthy Gut" - HCL Guard + Holozymes Apex Energetics - Enzymix Pro Active Herb - herbal company Blue Poppy Herbs Herbs I mentioned in the podcast: Gui Pi Tang — For weak digestion and fluid retention. If you feel puffy or gain weight quickly after eating, this is your ally. Shan Zha Jian Zhi Pian — This one breaks down fat. It's amazing for folks who stress eat or binge on sugar. Long Dan Xie Gan Wan — Helps the liver chill out, especially if you're dealing with reflux, constipation, and bloating. Ba Zhen Tang — When you're just wiped out, lacking motivation, or not even hungry, this one helps restore yang and blood to energize the body. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan — This is a staple for perimenopause and menopause support. It nourishes yin and helps with vaginal dryness, low libido, and overall hormone balance. Chinese Medicine Patterns I talk about: Damp accumulation: That puffy, sluggish weight gain Phlegm: Which is the Chinese term often equated to fat gain Liver Qi Stagnation: When stress causes your liver to "attack" your digestion Blood and Yang Deficiency: Low energy, lack of movement, low motivation

When putting together a bug-out bag in case of emergencies, don't forget your herbs! Just like a first aid kit, a go bag is best when you construct it according to your specific needs, and the needs of people you'll be with. This isn't a “one size fits all” situation!The same goes for circumstances when you need to shelter in place. A ‘stay-in stash' is just a go-bag without the go. It's an orderly, intentional accumulation of all the things you'll need if the power goes out for a week, or you can't leave your home for an extended period of time.Herbs, food, and ‘everything else' all need to go in there – and don't forget water! In this episode we discuss what to include, what to avoid, and ways to keep your stock rotating and fresh for a moment of need.Mentioned in this episode:HHP 233: Emergency Readiness Needs A Meal PlanFEMA AppWe're highlighting first aid herbalism on the podcast all month.

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the incredible healing capabilities that exist within the natural world of plants? Like many people today, we often automatically reach for conventional over-the-counter medicines without pausing to consider the powerful natural alternatives. This week, I'm talking with trained herbalist Tasha Rose to explore the fascinating and time-honored tradition of plant medicine and herbal remedies. We take a deep dive into the remarkable ways herbs can provide support for both your immune and nervous systems, and discuss natural alternatives to common medications that you might find in your medicine cabinet. We'll explore how different forms of stress, from mild daily stress to chronic ongoing stress and short-term extreme stress, can be addressed using nourishing herbs, adaptogens, and nervines. Plus, Tasha shares her inspiring personal journey from being a curious plant enthusiast to becoming a professionally trained herbalist, and reveals how she helps families create their own natural medicine cabinets, stocked with effective herbal remedies that actually work. She'll introduce us to powerful herbs like Oat Straw for nervous system support, Tulsi (Holy Basil) for stress resilience, Ashwaganda for strength and balance, and gentle Chamomile for both nervous and digestive comfort.

In this episode, we take a high-level look at what happens when you combine two of the most contrasting—and complementary—herbs in North American herbalism: Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) and Lobelia (Lobelia inflata). One stimulates, one relaxes—and together they create a powerful synergy that supports circulation, respiration, and neuromuscular function.  You'll also hear insights on how their energetic and constitutional profiles apply to vāta patterns in Ayurveda and Mercury archetypes in astrology.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful herb pairs in North American herbalism—Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) and Lobelia (Lobelia inflata).  These two plants represent the archetypal stimulant and relaxant, and when used together, they reveal deep patterns in how herbal energetics function. You'll also discover how this triad—stimulant, relaxant, and tonic—connects to core principles found in Ayurveda, alchemy, and astrology. In this segment, you'll learn: Why Cayenne and Lobelia are a dynamic herbal duo How traditional herbalists define stimulants and relaxants (beyond caffeine and chamomile!) The significance of the stimulant-relaxant-tonic triad in herbal energetics The cross-cultural connections to Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and astrology How combining oppositional energetics can create synergy in herbal formulas Tune into the full episode to learn more:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0D57qDsVCLfCfpIZtshgEb?si=6a3639d913d44847   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

It was such a joy to have my good friend, Thomas Easley, on the show. For some reason, the herb he chose to discuss – blue vervain – surprised me (perhaps because it hit so close to home?), but his insights about it were both thoughtful and expansive. He shared about the type of person who tends to really benefit from vervain, the best time of day to take it, some lesser-known ways of working with it, and so much more!Blue vervain is perhaps best known for its gift of helping wind you down, and so it's often included in blends for relaxation and sleep. In this episode, Thomas shared his version of a sleep tincture blend featuring blue vervain, which he calls GTFTS (I'll let you guess what that acronym stands for!). Click here for your beautifully-illustrated recipe card for GTFTS.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Specific indications for blue vervain - and whether you're the type of person who could benefit from keeping a bottle of it on your desk (and actually taking it!)► Why it's important to experience an herb (in multiple ways and during different circumstances) to determine whether it's the right herb for you► Three little-known uses for blue vervain► and so many other insights about this lovely relaxing herb….For those of you who don't know him, Thomas Easley is a registered herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild, a clinical herbalist, and the founder of the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine. With a passion for herbal medicine ignited in 1996, Thomas has dedicated his life to helping others through unique approaches that integrate traditional western herbalism, clinical nutrition, and modern medical sciences. Thomas is co-author of The Modern Herbal Dispensatory: A Medicine-Making Guide and Modern Herbal Medicine.

Have you been studying herbs for a while, but you still feel unsure about how to combine them into an effective formula?  Or maybe you're newer to herbalism and ready to dive into the art and science of formulation? Formulation is one of my favorite parts of herbal medicine, so I'm excited to kick off a new series called The Anatomy of a Formula. I love the synergy that emerges when herbs are combined in intelligent, intentional ways—and the specificity you can achieve when formulating for a particular person. It's both powerful and fun. However, for budding herbalists, formulation can initially feel daunting and a little confusing. Without some kind of framework or guidance, many people end up just tossing a bunch of herbs into a bottle and hoping it works. That's not an ideal approach because you're essentially leaving your therapeutics to chance. Instead, approach formulation with strategy, intention, and precision, tailored to the individual you're working with.  Here's what we'll cover in this post: • A brief history of formulation in North American herbalism • Formulation challenges and how to fix the problem • The foundations of herbal formulas: pairs and triplets • The anatomy of an effective formula     ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.
