Thank you so much! Your company's products have healed me during several times these past few years. Every product I have ordered and used has done exactly as it was intended to do and more! The first product I bought was Poke Root. After my second son, I developed mastitis. The doctors prescribed me antibiotics which did nothing but mess me up more, I then developed DOUBLE MASTITIS! And again they couldn’t help me. I was at a loss and through diligent research I found your company. Might I say that within a day my mastitis started to ease and by the 3rd day it was gone!!!! Several years down the road I developed strep throat that did not respond to antibiotics either and all behold I took a day of Poke Root and by the 2nd day it was almost gone! Now, fast forward to my 3rd pregnancy I developed PUPPS ;( I went to 3 doctors that couldn’t help me. And then I thought maybe you could help! And sure enough you had just what I needed! The Healing Salve is divine! I literally put it all over my body because I got the rash everywhere. It relieved the pain, burning, itchiness and dryness immediately! I apply it often because my skin is so damaged from 3 months of this! And lastly, the Itch Relief tincture is working from the inside out on it. I sleep throughout the night now and don’t wake up from the horrible discomfort that PUPPS causes. My days are easier and I’m not grumpy anymore from the pain and discomfort. No more tears for me! I’m beyond grateful for your products, service and knowledge! H.F.
Moringa is a fast-growing tree native to South Asia and now found all throughout the tropics. It's also known as Mulunggay, or the Miracle Tree, as it is so high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential amino acids. It's well-known and highly regarded for its ability to increase breastmilk production in nursing mothers. It has:
- 12 times the Vitamin C of oranges
- 10 times the Vitamin A of carrots
- 17 times the Calcium of milk
- 15 times the Potassium of bananas
- 9 times the protein of yogurt
- 25 times more iron than spinach
It is used as a superfood and valuable food source for many regions around the world. Along with its ability to increase breastmilk production, the Ayurvedic system of medicine associates it with the “cure or prevention of about 300 different diseases”.
Along with its high concentration of vital nutrients, it also has been shown to have the following actions:
- Anti-diabetic
