Cranberry concentrate, 8 oz

Cranberry concentrate, 8 oz

(Item #1020)
Reported effective at fighting infections that attack the mucous membranes, e.g., throat, respiratory system, breast, kidney/bladder, ear, etc. Excellent for mastitis and bladder infections. Observed that when it's taken following birth, it will bring in the mother's milk faster. Our Natural Cranberry Concentrate Liquid (pure concentrate of 100% organically-grown cranberries!) is a refreshing cranberry liquid formula that is free from fat, added sugar, cholesterol and preservatives. Cranberry Concentrate Liquid gives you 100% natural cranberry concentrate without unnecessary additives, other fruit juices, or a watered-down cocktail taste. You can taste the fresh berry difference! In addition, there's the extra nutritional benefit of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) which have been identified in the cranberry fruit.

Recommended Use: As a supplement, take one tablespoon of the concentrate mixed in 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water to suit your taste. Some people consider the naturally-occurring cranberry sugars in the concentrate sufficiently sweet to offset its tartness, while others choose to enhance it with stevia, honey, or other natural sweeteners. Experiment to discover what tastes best to you!

Truehope CNE, 252 Capsules

(Item #1559)
Food for your cells. Food for your nerves. In the article Vitamin Cure? by Susan Preinkel, the question is raised: can common nutrients curb violent tendencies and dispel clinical depression? Ms. Preinkel states that the brain and other complex mechanisms of the human nervous system rely on 40 or so basic nutrients to run smoothly. The lack of any one can cause a malfunction, leading to depression, irritability, or worse. Research on mice using this formula has shown regrowth of actual brain sections which have been surgically removed. Recommended for people who need nutritional support for their nerves. This supplement is also taken during pregnancy by women who have a history of depression, post partum depression, and/or want to build a superior neurological system in their baby. Seniors who take it regularly report enhanced brain function.

Recommended Use: Suggested use: 3 capsules 3 times a day with food (lasts 28 days). Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerator.

Contents: a host of vitamins and minerals in a proprietary blend of herbs and other plant nutrients (see label for details)

Umbilical Cord Powder, 1/4 oz packet

Umbilical Cord Powder, 1/4 oz packet

(Item #PCUC.25)
Combinations such as this one have traditionally been used to help prevent irritated or infected umbilical cords and to promote quick healing of the cord. It has also traditionally been used as a disinfectant for all parts of the body, e.g., the powder is put in a little, sewn flannel packet and placed in the mouth for infection in that area. For care of the umbilical area, sprinkle the powder around the umbilical cord daily or when redness appears. Since the herbs tend to stain clothing, you may want to cover the area after application. Expose the cord to air during the warmest part of the day to encourage drying. Do not use alcohol around the cord, as it tends to prevent drying. If you feel that you must clean out the cord area, use hydrogen peroxide or water. Note: Each packet has been sealed, so you must cut the top in order to use the zip-lock opening.

Anti-Cramp Tincture (Pregnancy and Menstrual Formula), 2 oz

Anti-Cramp Tincture (Pregnancy and Menstrual Formula), 2 oz

(Item #TCAC)
Women have used the Anti-Cramp formula to 1) decrease abnormal pain during menstrual periods, 2) help them conceive during the fertile part of a monthly cycle, by relaxing the pelvic organs, 3) help them hold the pregnancy after conception during the time they would have their first menstrual period, by relaxing the pelvic organs, 4) either hold the pregnancy or miscarry when miscarriage threatens during the first trimester of pregnancy, by relaxing the pelvic organs, 5) promote miscarriage when it is known that the fetus has expired, by taking it several times a day or once every two or three hours until miscarriage occurs, 6) stop excessive Braxton-Hicks conctractions or false labor during the last trimester of pregnancy, by taking it every two hours when excessive cramping begins until the symptoms stop, and 7) stop excessive Braxton-Hicks contractions or false labor during the last trimester of pregnancy, by takint it every two hours when excessive cramping begins until the symptoms stop; and with Lady Slipper Root Tincture duirng the last four weeks of pregnancy to soften the cervix of women who tend to have excessive Braxton-Hicks contractions and high blookd pressure and therefore cannot use the regular Cervix Softener Tincture.

Cervix Softener Tincture, 2 oz

Cervix Softener Tincture, 2 oz

(Item #TCCS)
Women have used the Cervix Softener Formula starting 4 weeks before the due date (taking ¼ teaspoon 3 times a day) to facilitate labor, lessen labor time, prevent tearing, minimize postpartum bleeding, prevent postpartum convulsions, and help those women deliver sooner who go considerably past their due date. Women who have a history of early delivery should start using the formula 3 weeks before the due date. Those who go over their due date can take a larger dose, starting after their due date. While the Cervix Softener Formula is typically very expensive, we are selling it at a discount to make it more readily available to women who really need it. Lady Slipper is an essential part of this formula, because it is known to specifically soften the muscle of the internal cervical os (according to Dr. John R. Christopher in his book The School of Natural Healing). However, it's extremely difficult to get and very expensive. Over the years, Dianne has tried many logical substitutes for Lady Slipper, but none has worked as effectively. Contraindications: Because of the Blue Cohosh Root in the Cervix Softener formula, it should not be taken by women who have high blood pressure or women who have excessive Braxton-Hicks contractions. Those women can use the Anti-Cramp Formula, along with Lady Slipper Tincture starting four weeks to their due date. Note that the Cervix Softener formula is stronger than the 5 week formula, so it should not be used earlier than 4 weeks before the due date. Also, to avoid precipitous births, this formula should not be taken by women who already deliver in under 3½ hours.

Recommended Use: Suggested Use: Use as directed during the last 3 to 4 weeks of pregnancy.

Contents: Blue Cohosh Root, Lady Slipper Root, Lobelia, Cayenne, organic grape alcohol, apple cider vinegar, purified water, vegetable glycerin

Recommended Use: Take 10 - 15 drops internally, as needed.

Lobelia-Cayenne Tincture, 2 oz

(Item #TCLC)
The Lobelia-Cayenne Tincture contains more lobelia than cayenne. It is a combination of a relaxant and a stimulant. Some naturopaths, who travel considerable distances to attend births, use the following procedure with their pregnant clients at the onset of labor: (1) have their clients take about 1½ teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of lobelia and cayenne in juice, and (2) have them lie down. The action of the two herbs relaxes the body without sedating it. It tends to slow down the intensity of the contractions for a couple of hours and then pull the woman into good, effective, active labor. 19th century herbalists added lobelia and cayenne to hot red raspberry leaf tea during labor to make the labor more effective and quicker.

Blue Cohosh Root Tincture, 1 oz

Blue Cohosh Root Tincture, 1 oz

(Item #TSBC)
Include this in your midwivery/doula labor bag! Blue Cohosh is a uterine tonic and antispasmodic. During pregnancy, it is generally recommended not to take prior to 4 weeks before the due date. However, I have seen it used safely at earlier stages of pregnancy to stop contractions. The herb is useful to help stimulate labor and make it more effective. By taking 1/2 dropper of blue cohosh tincture 3 times a day starting on their due date, I have seen many women who normally deliver two weeks late, deliver within a week. The tincture works faster and is less nauseating than the powder or tea.
