Send us a textAs I head into winter here in the Northeast United States, I am renewing my restorative practices. Restoration is an important component of both the somatic and Ayurvedic practices that I do.And although restoration embodies simplicity in its nature it is not always an easy thing to do.In this episode I dive into the crucial yet often overlooked stage of restoration within the stress response cycle. Journeying through the stages of activation, mobilization, actualization, deactivation, and ultimately, restoration, the episode highlights the transformative power of proper rest and rejuvenation. Emphasis is placed on how modern lifestyles and cultural norms frequently sideline restoration, leading to burnout and reduced resilience. I share personal practices and Ayurvedic wisdom to foster restoration, from yoga nidra and meditation to herbal remedies. The episode also addresses the broader cultural implications of valuing rest, advocating for a shift in societal norms toward recognizing rest as essential rather than a luxury.

Medicinal mushrooms have made their way into the everyday lives of the “old one-hundred names,” us common folk. Formerly rare and precious substances like Ling Zhi and Dong Chong Xia Cao are now cultivated and readily available for people like you and me. Considered to be “higher” level medicinals, these are substances considered more for promoting wellbeing, than treating illness. Which brings us to the topic of “Tonic Herbs” and Yang Sheng, the nourishment of life. In this conversation with Mason Taylor we discuss the differences between “Tonic Herbs” and the use of herbal medicine to treat illness. We touch on Daoist practices, the fundamental role of Jing, and the challenge and opportunity of running your own business that allows you to explore something that is of vital personal interest. Listen into this discussion of mushrooms, longevity and the search for authentic meaning.
We're turning the tables here! Instead of focusing on a health problem, I decided to take a deep dive on a specific herbal action that supports everyone's health - tonics! SO many herbs have a tonifying effect on the body, some systemically, and some on specific tissues or organs. But what exactly does a tonic do? It's one of those words that seem a bit abstract in the plant world. Today I share with you what it means, how a few well-known herbalists describe them, and then I share 42 of my favorite herbs with tonifying action, including what systems they impact. Plantain is one of these, and it's a widely available plant that I highly encourage you to get to know. Look for it in your back yard and welcome it into your home, you won't regret it! If you have a request for a podcast topic, please send it to me at laureltreewellnessllc.com. Thank you for listening!

In this episode I chat with Hyperion Herbs founder Brandon Gilbert all about his discovery of Eastern philosophy and how it transformed his life path. Like many of us, Brandon has experienced his own share of health issues which led him to deep dive into alternative health. After obtaining profound results, Brandon felt motivated to share his experiences and views with others. Just one year after creating his successful YouTube Channel HyperionTV.com (2009), Brandon started Hyperion Herbs in order to make the world's best herbs and teas more readily available and accessible to everyone. Topics Include: creating Hyperion Herbs life changes discovering Chinese philosophy letting of anger and resentment Brandon's YouTube channel Tai Chi tonics herbs reishi mushrooms adaptogens immune system how to consume mushroom extract modern culture's pros and cons finding perspective getting sucked into negativity fight-or-flight releasing pressure from the nervous system Use the code RHPODCAST to receive 10% off your order of $25 or more of Hyperion Herbs.

The power and transformative capacity of tonic herbs are far-reaching, yet often overlooked. However, with the growing interest in holistic healing, more and more people are becoming aware of the potential benefits that tonic herbs can offer. Tonic herbs are a type of herbal medicine that is believed to have an overall positive effect on the body by strengthening its energetic systems. Tonic herbs are often used to support one's overall health and well-being, enhance mental clarity and focus, and relieve stress. It can also boost: Immunity and vitality Improve digestion and sleep quality Regulate hormones And reduce inflammation or skin issues such as acne or eczema. The above motivated Brandon Gilbert, an experienced herbalist, to study Eastern philosophy from the age of 14. Brandon is a serial entrepreneur, who started first business in 2006. After going deep in the alternative health field to resolve own health issues, he felt motivated to share his views and experiences with a larger audience. So he created a YouTube channel HyperionTv.com in 2009, built up a following and then launched Hyperion Herbs in 2010 - “because the world's best herbs and teas should be easy for anyone to obtain”. Medicinal mushrooms everyone should be taking According to Brandon Gilbert some of the most popular tonic herbs include: Reishi mushroom (for calming) Cordyceps (for energy support) Chaga (for the immune system) And Lion's Mane (for neurological benefits). He also advises us to be mindful when purchasing these products since not all products are equal. He suggests that we look for products that are made from the fruiting body of the mushroom, which has been grown on wood and is an extract (rather than just a powder). Understanding the traditional roots of herbalism Brandon also emphasizes the importance of understanding the traditional roots of herbalism. He explains that Chinese medicine was not unified until after World War II, and herbalism was a separate branch with its competing schools, philosophies, and languages. He stresses that it's disrespectful to lump all Asian healing practices into one category since they are all distinct and different when explored in depth. For Brandon himself, practicing internal arts – such as Tai Chi – has been one of the most profound forms of holistic healing he's ever experienced. It has helped him to become more resilient against stressors by softening his body while also making it stronger, increasing flexibility, improving digestion, reducing inflammation and allowing him to eat whatever he wants without requiring external sources for support. Overall, tonic herbs have been used for centuries and are known to be powerful tools for healing and transformation. With the right information and guidance, they can be an effective means of improving one's overall health, vitality, and well-being. In this podcast you will learn: Benefits of taking tonic herbs Benefits of cordyceps and reishi mushrooms How can you tell if a mushroom product is effective Things to look for when purchasing a mushroom extract.

Adaptogens and tonic herbs in general are my favorite category of medicinal herbs, and I use them a lot for myself and clients in my health practice. They are safe and non-toxic and help us deal with stress, improve the immune system, regulate hormones, and improve our thinking, mood, anxiety, and fatigue. Absolute all-rounders to help us deal with modern life's challenges! Let's learn about the difference between central nervous system stimulants like coffee, and adaptogens. In a nutshell, coffee depletes your energy and adaptogens actually build up your energy reserves, in the long term. Some of the more known adaptogens are Eleuthero, Ginseng, Schisandra, Reishi, and Rhodiola, but there are a lot more that are less known but equally effective.

Here at SuperFeast, we take great pride in the quality of our superior tonic herbs and medicinal mushrooms. We follow Di Dao philosophy and do our best to empower and educate you, our community on this ancient form of Chinese medicine sourcing that delivers the highest quality herbs and mushrooms imbued with integrity and powerful healing properties. New to SuperFeast or not, chances are at some point on your tonic herbal journey to health sovereignty you have wondered one or some of the following questions: -Which blend/formula is best for me? -What is the intention of each formula? -How many single herbs can i take at one time? -How many SuperFeast blends can i take at once? -Which bundle should I get at this point in my health journey? In today's podcast episode Mason brings clarity to all these questions as well as breaking down the combining of herbs in tonic herbalism and the usage of single herbs within the context of Taoist tonic herbalism so you can feel empowered when integrating SuperFeast single herbs into your lifestyle and diet. Mason brings in some contextualisation around the different grades and classifications of tonic herbs, why SuperFeast chooses to use the safe superior tonic herbs (and not any major dangerous herbs), and the difference between taking practitioner level single herbs and classical/traditional Chinese medical system single herbs. There is a big difference, and both have their place. There is a place for advanced clinical herbalist specialisation to treat specific symptomology and advanced disease states, and there is a place for individuals having their own decentralised tonic herbal engagement underpinned by an intention of proactive, sovereign, glowing health. Plants and herbs are for the people and tonic herbalism is there for all of us to engage with on different levels. Mason dives deep into the intentions behind each SuperFeast bundle as well as explaining the layered nuance when creating tonic herbal formulas that are both good for the general population and support a specific system within the body. Mason discusses: -Combining herbs. -Herbal formulations. -Taking single herbs. -Advanced herbalism. -How to take the herbs. -Formulation in tonic herbalism. -What are superior tonic herbs? -Major, minor and supportive herbs. -Biophilia activations with single herbs. -The combining of herbs in tonic herbalism. -The classification and safety rating of herbs. -The purpose and intent of each SuperFeast bundle. -The distinction between clinical and tonic herbalism.

Meet Mason Taylor, alchemist, owner, fearless leader and educator at SUPER FEAST herbs in Australia. I sat down with Mason and had a little chat about the wisdom of tonic herbs. What are tonic herbs? How do tonic herbs work to support the body? How to source the cleanest and most alive herbs? I've got all the drip for you in this show! I was blown away by the wisdom and connection Mason has with the herbs. I learned a lot about herbs, seasons, emotions, aging process, energy, etc and how they are connected to the three treasures of life: Chi, Jing, and Shen. If you are interested in learning how to use herbs to help assist your body in storing energy reserves for more vitality and emotional stability…then this is your show. Enjoy meeting Mason Taylor and learning about his company Super Feast. You've probably seen videos of my pantry and know I am the herb queen. My pantry is filled with herbs and Super Feast is my favorite company for tonic herbs because I feel the herbs when I take them. My cells can feel the resonance IMMEDIATELY. It's rare that I feel herbs immediately in my body to this degree…but when I do…This is when I know they are LEEEGGIITTT. My favorite herb they have is definitely Tremella. Tremella has been used by noblemen and women of the Orient as a youth-preserving tonic.

Mushrooms and plants can be our allies to help us thrive in a society that doesn't support optimal health. The philosophy and magic of Daoist tonic herbalism is here to help - with herbs for better sex, and herbs for a better life in general. This conversation is more of a casual hang out and discussion of life and sex, and I want to give you that heads up in case you're coming here in search of a clearly outlined educational lecture on the topic of herbs for better sex. It's not that… even though we do hit that topic really well in the last quarter of the episode. :)Mason Taylor is the founder of Superfeast, an international company (with a branch in the USA) that helps bring high-quality tonic herbs to people around the world. I personally take the Jing mixture almost every morning as part of my morning ritual, and you'll hear me talk about why in the episode.

Discover the power of ‘Tonic Herbs' Our guest Scott Linde, Founder of Sun Potion Transformational Foods, boils down his entrepreneurial motivations to this simple fact: he enjoys feeling real good. And he wants to share his health and wellness discoveries with others. Growing up close to nature in Minnesota, Scott has a passion for tonic herbs that may be unrivaled. Passion is why Sun Potion continues to grow in size, scope, and sales. So what are ‘tonic herbs'? Why does Scott focus his business on tonic herbs and algae, greens, and mushrooms from all over the globe? And why does he refuse to cut corners with the Sun Potion product line - using stringent quality standards and purely organic ingredients? After five minutes of tuning in, you will notice Scott's radiant positive energy and sharp mind. Like that lady in the movie When Harry Met Sally, you will say to yourself: “I'll have what he's having.” By listening to this conversation between two health and wellness entrepreneurs, you can discover some new ways to shift your health in a positive direction. Tapping into these transformational foods is a key to radiant health. In this podcast, we cover: Scott's story behind the launch and growth of Sun Potion The first products Scott started offering Overcoming obstacles and lessons learned while Scott built Sun Potion Serendipities experienced in health food stores (Wade & Scott) Scott's supplement recommendations during this pandemic season Scott's thoughts on the “authoritarian crisis” impacting the wellness community How Scott stays above the partisan divide and channels his energy into productive responses to pandemic-related conversations What got Scott interested in tonic herbs and starting a business: In his own words, here is how Scott describes to Wade his “why” to start Sun Potion: “What got me interested initially is I love feeling good. There's an aspect to this that is purely selfish. I enjoy feeling good.” “When I was a young person, I did a lot of extreme endurance sports that provide a lot of endorphins. Once I reached my 20s, I began learning through meditation teachers about tonic herbs.” “I started trying them out for myself, and it just turned on a light in my body. I was like, ‘oh, I love this. I'm into this. It's so cool.” “It was like being in high school and blacking out at the finish line of every cross country race to go into that complete bliss, like straight to the godhead. An ecstatic, full sensory feeling.” “That kind of contagious feeling - when you feel so good in your body - I began on my own looking around the industry and not finding what I was looking for. So I eventually realized this could be a project where I get to have fun and play with substances and aspects of nature that I enjoy. “I can make these things available to other people if they're interested. In the meantime, this project is fun for me. I'll put my attention and my service into growing a nice, positive gift to share with people.” Why does Scott buy health products from other companies? Here's an interesting excerpt of something Scott tells Wade: “I love buying other people's products and have them around.” “I'll be honest; I don't necessarily always take them. But it's nice to get the vibe off of the products and feel them, and have them around.” “People come to my house - like, when women visit my home, they go into the bathroom, and they come out saying, “you have lots of natural products and body care things that are pretty impressive. I want to spend a couple of hours in your bathroom. LOL” “It's fun. Like a person who loves restoring cars, they will have a bunch of car things in their home. It's their passion.” “I have fun with wellness products.” Scott goes into detail on his favorite tonic herbs. He also shows off his mushroom expertise - firing off a string of different fungi and their unique health properties. Scott is a gracious guest who gives away so much in this episode - including a surprise gift for Awesome Health Podcast listeners.

Elwin Robinson was on the show today and we were talking to him from his home in Portugal. For those that don't know he's the author of The New Easy Exhaustion Cure: For Workaholics and Overachievers. We talked about how Elwin got started with his health journey and how he changed his life as a result of learning about spirituality. We also talked about breathing techniques and why breathing properly is essential for proper digestion and cleansing. Breathing is something we all do and it's also something that many people over look in terms of their healing strategy. One of the major takeaways I got from this show with Elwin was just how important it is to bring more conscious awareness to your eating habits and how you breathe. Another topic we discussed was stress and how to naturally lower stress levels in the body. Stress is (in my opinion) probably the #1 killer. I believe managing stress is more important that what food you eat, what nutrition you take in, how well you sleep or anything else. Stress kills. We also talked about proper ways to detoxify and cleanse the human body. It's not correct to start a detox program if your organs of elimination aren't working properly. Your liver, lungs, kidneys and colon all need to be working well and highly functioning before you try to make them process toxins and poisons that are hanging out in your body from times past.

In this episode Derek Fleming, the founder of New Earth Organics (a tonic herb company in Alberta, Canada) goes into why the western medical system is failing us and what we can learn from traditional medicines and approaches to nutrition.We get into seasonal eating, cultural differences around the understanding of the impacts of different foods on our physiology, why nutrition dogmas are leading us down the wrong path and why going with the flow of nature may better serve us to cultivate robust health.Derek goes into which foods and flavours we should be focussing on for the fall to help you thrive and help you stay healthy this season. He also talks about grains, a vilified food group, and how they can be a nourishing food option at certain times of the year and how the rules that we apply to eating, though may be helpful in the short term, may be causing harm and separation from nature and our hearts in the long term.And so many more healthy nuggets and tips in this conversation, including why tonic herbs can be a wonderful addition to anyone's routine.

In today’s show I’m talking to Mason Taylor – wellness educator, passionate tonic herbalist and founder and director of Superfeast, a very cool Australian company for tonic herbs and medicinal mushrooms. Superfeast and Mason got my attention when I was in New Zealand last year and since then I’ve been following their stories. It’s Mason’s passion to teach people from all walks of life on how to embrace the healing forces of nature, and how to create their own unique and dynamic health philosophy – and Mason and Superfeast do a great job at that! He regularly cracks me up with his unique sense of humour! Watch a couple of his little videos on instagram and you'll know why! Mason's also the host of the Superfeast podcast, which I'm a big fan of. If you don’t know it yet, make sure you check it out. It’s honestly a well of naturally empowered wisdom. This episode today could definitely be subtitled with “natural empowerment”: We talk about Mason’s own life story and how he found his way to tonic herbalism and a new connection to his health, and we talk about how to look at our immune system from a traditional ancient Chinese/Taoist perspective and what we can do to gain strong immunity. Wind, cold, heat & dampness for example are considered natural “invaders” to our immune system – did you know? I find that pretty fascinating, and it’s also so simple. This whole episode is peppered with simple health tips you can integrate into your life right away. I feel very honoured to have Mason on my show today – this unbelievably nice, wise and funny guy! Enjoy. Find full show notes below or on the episode page: https://kathrinhecht.com/podcast-episode-14

Mason Taylor started SuperFeast, Australia's premier tonic herbal medicinal mushroom company, in 2011.

For some women, menopause sucks! You might be dealing with any combination of seemingly uncontrollable issues like weight gain, boiling hot flashes, soaking night sweats, or mood swings so severe they can take over your life. Not to mention the mental fog, dry skin, and low energy. Dana LaVoie, my guest today, is an expert in helping women gain health naturally so their hormones balance and their nasty menopausal symptoms diminish or even vanish completely! Dana LaVoie is the founder and creator of Menopause Basics. Dana is a licensed acupuncturist and tonic herbalist. Her passion is helping women find relief from the hormonal symptoms of menopause. Using her 13+ years of clinical experience, Dana will provide you with simple, smart, and natural techniques based on the best of Asian Medicine and modern science. Through online courses and consultations, Dana will tailor her approach to your individual experience until she finds the perfect intervention for you. She works with clients both in-person in Eugene, OR or over the phone or Skype. Dana has a BA from Wesleyan University in Middletown CT, and a Masters in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, OR, and have been a licensed Acupuncturist in the state of Oregon since 2004. Dana's website is: http://danalavoielac.com/ Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MenopauseBasics/ Free Download for Learn True Health listeners: The 4 Steps To Hormonal Balance http://bit.ly/Hormone-Foundation Dana's online course is called "Menopause Basics: What To Eat". It's an online mini-course on how to get all the right building blocks into your diet for hormonal balancing during menopause. "I'm most passionate about discussing how setting the right foundation for diet & lifestyle paves the way for a woman's body to balance hormones naturally during menopause. It's then easy to add a few herbs on top of that for fantastic relief from Menopausal symptoms. I have a 4-Step plan that sets the foundation for hormonal balance. For many women, these 4 steps are enough to relieve hormonal symptoms. With this foundation in place, it becomes much easier to get relief by adding herbs, acupuncture, supplements, or any other method of hormonal balance. I also love to discuss herbs in general and the difference between medicinal and Tonic Herbs, whether it's for hormonal balancing, the immune system, or one of my favorite topics - anti-aging and longevity." Dana LaVoie's 4 steps to hormonal health: 1. Step 1 is that what you include in your diet is more important that what you leave out. (and I'll explain why and most important things to add in first) 2. Step 2 is lifestyle. By practicing stress management and eating protein and healthy fat often enough throughout the day, you can help balance cortisol and insulin levels, which helps your other hormones immensely. 3.Step 3 is avoiding the worst of the hormone disrupting chemicals. I would love to talk about where to find some of the really bad sneaky ones like the phthalates in artificial fragrance! 4. Step 4 is adding my favorite adaptogenic superfoods into the diet.

The result: Improper Stress Response Cortisol is out of balance -constant release of cortisol and fight or flight hormones can have harmful results: weakened immune response problems with sleep over-stressed mind general fatigue harmful inflammation. Adaptogens and Nervines help you feel good: Adaptogens help us to decrease stress and fatigue, while promoting healthy levels of energy and boost mood. Herbal nervines can help calm the nerves allowing us to relieve stress and tension by calming the nervous system. Some nervines even act as nervous system tonics, strengthening and restoring the nervous system over time.

Ayurveda - The traditional Hindu system of health and medicine, based on maintaining balance among the five elements earth, air, fire, water, and ether. The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words “ayur,” meaning life, and "veda,” meaning knowledge. Holy Basil (Tulsi) - Referred to as "The Elixir of Life", Holy Basil is a Ayurvedic herb famous for its ability to promote positive mood and relaxation. It's and adaptogen associated with adrenal health, respiratory tract function, and celebrated for its ability to help the body cope with stress and inflammation. It has a clove like aroma and makes a tasty herbal infusion. It's one of our favorite sipping herbs at the Power Plant podcast. Vana - known for its aromatic fragrance, Vana Tulsi is a powerful plant with green leaves and stem and white flowers. It’s been used for centuries and can be found in the Himalayas as well as India, Asia and Africa. Rama- Know for is sweet aroma and great taste, Rama Tulsi has been used for centuries to promote a calm, alert mind, promote relaxation, and to support strength and stamina. Krishna - known to be the most "medicinal" of the Tulsi family, Krishna Tulsi has an aromatic, sweet, and clove-like flavor.

Adaptogenic Herbs that help combat stress and boost energy: Ashwagandha - A key herb in Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India, that is known as a Rasayana or herb that gives strength. It is one of the most popular adaptogens on Earth because of its ability to safely improve the bodies resistance to stress, restore youthful energy, combat inflammation, and balance the stress hormone, Cortisol. Ginseng (American, Chinese, Korean) - There are 3 popular types of Ginseng used around the world; Chinese, Korean, and American. Chinese Ginseng (Ren Shen) is considered the "king of herbs" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is celebrated as THE premier tonic herb. Ginseng's active compounds, referred to as ginsenosides, are known to restore qi (pronounced "chi") or energy levels and to support a calm, alert mind. Korean Ginseng has similar properties, of course the Koreans report that Korean Ginseng is more potent than Chinese Ginseng. American Ginseng, known as the ‘Yin Ginseng’, has similar ginsenosides to its Chinese and Korean counterparts, although is traditionally viewed as a gentler tonic better suited to people with excess metabolic heat, including but not specific to menopausal women. It can also help promote a relaxed, calm attitude among those prone to stress and overwork. Rhodiola Rosea - A favorite among athletes and herbal practitioners, Rhodiola has a reputation as one of the world’s greatest mood and energy tonics. It's unique array of phytochemicals have been researched for their ability to regulate key neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Rhodiola Rosea is a versatile herb that can help you manage stress, boost your mood, restore your energy, and invigorate your workout. Tongkat Ali - Decoctions of Tongkat ali roots have been utilized for centuries in Malaysia and Southeast Asia to support energy levels and mood. In modern times body builders and athletes love it for its ability to promote lean muscle mass. Although commonly taken by men, Tongkat ali can also support women’s libido, mood, and energy. Nervine Herbs that promote GABA: GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) - the main inhibitory or calming neurotransmitter in the brain, GABA influences our mood by reducing high levels of the hormones adrenalin, noradrenalin and dopamine. It also affects the neurotransmitter serotonin. Having sufficient GABA in our brain is linked to being relaxed and happy, while having too little GABA is associated with sleep problems, and feeling anxious, stressed, and depressed. Lemon Balm - a member of the mint family, this calming herb has been used in Europe, the Mediterranean, Northern Africa, and India for thousands of years because of its myriad benefits. The rosemarinic acids present in Lemon Balm are believed to boost levels of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter, in the brain. Chamomile - One of the most famous nervine herbs used to calm the nerves and to promote restful sleep. Passion Flower - A calming nervine that help relax the nervous system, relieving tension and restlessness and promoting restful sleep. It's also a common ingredient in herbal aphrodisiacs. Magnolia - A calming nervine popular for keeping the stress hormone, cortisol, in check. In addition, Magnolia also promotes GABA making it a choice sleep aid as well. Valerian (Sedative) - Valerian is a potent nervine and a strong sedative. It is commonly used in herbal sleep remedies and formulas used to relieve tight muscles. There are some people that find Valerian to do just the opposite and act as a stimulant and cause paranoia. Passionflower – A nervine herb native to southeastern parts of the Americas, Passionflower is now grown throughout Europe and in the United States as well. It has been treasured historically for its' ability to allay anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria. It has also been used. It is believed that Passionflower works by increasing GABA levels. Other useful Nervine Herbs: Oatstraw – Although it is not a sedative, Oatstraw is a nervine tonic that is generally beneficial to the nervous system. It has also been used to gently restore vigor libido and acts as a restorative to the Adrenal glands. The amazing plant can get you through a stressful day or help you get a good night's rest. Lavender – A herb that's calming to the mind and uplifts the spirit. It's commonly used in Aromatherapy and is used in calming herbal infusions to relieve anxiety and promote restfulness. Some people refer to Lavender as "herbal valium". Herbs that boost immune function and keep you feeling good in the long run: Astragalus Root – Adaptogenic herb made famous in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) that helps boost white blood cell count and helps to normalize immune function. In TCM it is also celebrated as a powerful energy tonic. Lemon Balm - a member of the mint family, Lemon Balm is native to Southern Europe and India. It is classically used to calm the nerves, relieve anxiety, and to boost immune function. It's also used to treat cold sores, herpes, and shingles. Medicinal Mushrooms (Ex. Reishi, Corcyceps, Agaricus, Turkey Tail, etc) - Powerful adaptogenic mushrooms that boost white blood cell count and help normalize immune function. Don't get these mushrooms confused with the common variety store bought mushrooms. Button mushrooms and other hybridized mushrooms do not have medicinal value and could be toxic in some cases if not prepared properly. Adaptogens - in regards to long run immune health, Adaptogens work by normalizing the immune system. If the immune system is underperforming it strengthens it, but if it's over performing it normalizes it. Herbs that help you feel better when your sick: Oregano Oil - herb used to remedy the common cold, flu, and bronchitis. It's a versatile plant also used for ear aches, intestinal parasites, allergies and sinus pain. We at Power Plant prefer Wild Mediterranean Oregano in most situations. Echinacea Purpurea and Echinacea Angustifolia - an herb native to areas east of the Rocky Mountains, different species of Echinacea are used to fight the common cold, the flu, and other upper respiratory infections. Andrographis - plant native to Southern Asian frequently used for preventing and treating the common cold and flu. Thieves Oil - Legend has it that during the times of the Bubonic Plague that thieves went from house to house to rob those who had died for Plague. A special blend of oils to protect themselves from getting this deadly disease. The powerful blend of oils they used is known as Thieves Oil and continues to be used in modern times to support immune function.

Today’s show is about sexual function. The two key issues we run into when talking about sexual function is the desire to have sex and the actual function of having sex. When we talk about sexual function it applies mostly to the physical function of sex, mainly erectile dysfunction. This might explain why there are 24 FDA approved treatments for men and as of 2015 only one approved treatment for women. What’s interesting is that sexual dysfunction effects 43% of women compared to 31% of men and yet we only see commercials for correcting male erectile dysfunction. When we look at why sexual dysfunction happens, it’s mainly due to a lack of desire due to stress and anxiety which can lead to depression and low energy. We’ll explore herbs and extracts that can help with these symptoms and we’ll also be taking your calls. We’ll hear from Jenn in Buffalo, NY who is in the early stages of menopause and is dealing with low estrogen levels as well as a lack of desire to have sex. We’ll also hear from William in Boise, Idaho who is suffering from erectile dysfunction do to both stress and communication issues with his partner. On the call, William tells us he started taking Viagra and hasn’t told his partner because he’s afraid she will be upset and cause more friction in the relationship. Last we will hear from Sue in New Jersey who has a question regarding the desire to have sex. Sue has HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder.) She loves her partner but feels her libido switch has been turned off. She’s considering taking the FDA regulated drug “Addyi” and is worried about low blood pressure side effects. If you have questions regarding herbal nutrition or are looking for a natural solution to something that ales you, please give us a call at 512 853 9005 and we will try our best to answer your question. This show is sponsored by Dr. Vim's Herbal Nutrition. Dr. Vim's herbal formulas are designed for men and women to mental focus, physical energy, stress reduction and a healthy libido.

SHOW NOTES: Herbs and plants that might be beneficial for sexual desire in men and women: Relaxing herbs to help you get you in the mood: Avena Sativa Passion Flower Lemon Balm Tonic herbs and herbs that help balance cortisol and sex hormones: Ashwagandha Ginseng Maca Tribulus Terrestris Cordyceps Holy Basil Tongkat Ali Cistanche Tubulosa Stimulating herbs and herbs that direct blood flow: Damiana Tongkat Ali Catuaba Muira Puama Cistanche Tubulosa Safed Musli Herbs and Plants that support heart health and blood flow. Beets Hawthorn Berry Cayenne Ginger Aphrodisiac Spices you can add to herbal infusions to enhance flavor: Vanilla Cinnamon Nutmeg Cardamom Ginger How to pair herbs when making a special blend for you and your partner: Try to pair a nervous system stimulant with something that's mood enhancing and balances cortisol. It could be beneficial to add something that promotes blood circulation as well. You can pick herbs from a few of the categories listed above based on your preferences to make an infusion with your partner. Think about the elements as you make your blend. If you have experience with herbs, you may be able to mix something up intuitively. If you are a beginner here's an example of one way you can think about it: GABA - Promotes a positive, welcoming mood. Cortisol - Stress hormone that might turn you off! Nitric Oxide - Supports blood flow Stimulant - In this sense, something that might direct blood flow to the pelvic region. So we have cornered some of the elements that compose a nice herbal aphrodisiac infusion! Now, we just have to figure out the perfect ratio to suit our individual needs!

Can you guess our 5 favorite herbs? In this episode, discover what Dr. George and John consider their “desert island” herbs and why? This is always a fun game and thought experiment to play with different topics and in this podcast John and Dr. George each talk about the five herbs that they would want with them on a desert island. If they were limited to only taking five tonic herbs for the rest of their lives, what would they be? Also, what single formula would they take? Can you guess Dr. George's favorites? One herb is great for emotional balance. Another one is one of the best Qi tonics that helps creates energy in the body. The third herb is an amazing adaptogen that is especially great for entrepreneurs and athletes. The fourth favorite for him helps the body detoxify while you sleep, and the fifth and final favorite—for Dr. George today—has a high ORAC value and nutritional content. John has some similar favorites and a few different ones. His top herb is a powerful replenishing Yin Jing herb. He also has a Yang Jing herb in his top five. John chose a different adaptogen in his top list—find out what made him choose what he did. Visit www.JingHerbs.com now!

http://www.DrAnh.com/survey My guest for today’s show is George Lamoureux from Jing Herbs. George left a high-stress job as a crude oil trader on Wall Street to become a tonic and clinical herbalist. He received a master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and founded Jing Herbs. He has been a featured speaker at the Take Back Your Health Conference in Washington, DC. George was introduced to tonic herbs by a coworker; this was after he left a stressful NYC job to work in the restaurant business in CA. He was intrigued by tonic herbs and set out to learn more. Do you want to learn more about tonic herbs? I invite you to listen to the show and enjoy our discussion of the following: Ø Tonic herbs are a special class of herbs, used to treat major states of health.

This week I'm chatting with Scott Linde, founder of Sun Potion Transformational Foods. At a young age Scott became fascinated with plant medicines and experienced huge changes in his health after incorporating herbs and tonics into his life, so he decided to create Sun Potion to share them with the world. Sun Potion is a company dedicated to sharing the use of medicinal plants, superfoods, and tonic herbs with others, only sourcing organic and wildcrafted products that have never been chemically treated. In this episode, Scott shares more about what led him to create Sun Potion and what it's like running a business behind the scenes. He discusses the importance of feeling connected with nature throughout his life as well as the problems with modern culture that is disconnected from nature and filled with toxins. Scott shares the story of how he first got into tonic herbs and was on the search for the perfect mucuna puriens. He talks all about how to use different potions, herbs, and adaptogens, how often to take them, and the best ones to start with. Scott also gives tips for what to try if you're getting off of coffee as well as the best herbs for hormones, energy, sleep, and other health concerns. We also discuss sourcing of ingredients, if "organic" really matters, how we feel about stevia, and much more!
