Oregano is an edible herb with a distinct flavour, often used in mediterranean cooking. It is rich in vitamins A and C.

It is also a potent medicinal herb that is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory.

Oregano stimulates the immune system to make white blood cells, which defend the body against bacteria, viruses, fungi and cancerous cells.

Oregano speeds healing, reduces scarring, heals blemishes and reduces the signs of aging. It neutralises the free radicals that cause wrinkles and age spots.

The carvacrol in oregano slows the growth of cancer cells and promotes cancer cell death.

Oregano stimulates the metabolism, causing the body to burn more calories. It aids weight loss and improves energy levels.

Medicinally it has been used traditionally for infections, skin problems, fungal infections, candida, athlete’s foot, fungal nails, cancer, immune health, heart health, viruses, ringworm, stomach cramping, bloating, indigestion, inflammation, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, skin elasticity, scars, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, stroke, weight loss, improved metabolism, improved energy, congestion, bronchial infections, asthma, coughing, and much more.

This is another powerhouse for wellness.

It’s not meant to be complicated to be well, nor is it meant to be expensive.

Blocked sinuses? Viruses? Allergies? Hayfever?

Our Clearing Nasal spray contains Magnesium Chloride salt brine and Colloidal Silver with pine and mint hydrosols.

Magnesium has a long history of reducing inflammation and is perfect as a base for a nasal spray. It’s believed to reduce allergic reactions of the nasal mucosa. Magnesium salt cleanses your nasal cavities of mucus, dead cells, bacteria, and virus particles. Rinsing regularly reduces the risk of infecting others.

It helps keep mucous liquid and to keep nasal cavities open. It promotes growth of new mucous membrane cells that may have been damaged. It conditions the cilia in the nose that provide natural drainage of waste matter. Additionally, Magnesium is absorbed very well by the nasal mucous membranes and is essential for a well-functioning immune system!

Colloidal silver has been used historically for killing bacteria and speeding healing. The tiny, anti-bacterial silver particles may effectively reduce allergic inflammation.

Pine & Mint hydrosols provide a subtle minty aroma and have been used historically to reduce allergy symptoms, open the airways and reduce congestion.

Magnesium is a salt and can sting a little if nasal mucous membranes are inflamed. It’s a bit like a hit of wasabi, lol. It passes quickly. It’s harmless and may speed the healing process. Rinse with water if need be.

Oranges are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins and minerals. They are especially rich with vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant that prevents cell damage.

Every cell in the body contains DNA, which is vulnerable to damage, or mutations, when exposed to free radicals. When DNA mutates, it can lead to the growth of cancerous cells. Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals and can prevent this mutation.

The vitamin C found in oranges forms blood vessels, muscles, cartilage, and collagen production in your bones. It fights inflammation and can reduce the severity of conditions like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. It boosts the body's immune system to protect against viruses. It improves iron absorption and fights anaemia. It slows age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which can lead to vision loss. It lowers blood pressure and cortisol, the stress hormone. Oranges lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol. They stimulate digestive juices and prevent constipation.

Citrates and potassium in oranges inhibit the formation of kidney stones, while also keeping blood sugar levels regulated.

Flavonoids in oranges reduce inflammation on blood vessels.

Oranges contain approximately 55 milligrams of calcium, or 6% of your daily requirement. Folic acid is an essential B vitamin the body uses to create DNA and divide cells, and it’s abundant in oranges. If you don't have enough folate in your diet, it can lead to blood disease, cancer, and even birth defects. If you're pregnant, have an orange. It's a great natural source of folate.

Citric acid in oranges can alter pH levels in the urine and prevent the formation of calcium oxalate stones, or kidney stones.

Traditionally, oranges have been used medicinally for immune health, cardiovascular health, arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, virus protection, colds, flus, asthma, cancers, anaemia, improved iron absorption, macular degeneration, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney stones, constipation, blood sugar regulation, diabetes, skin health, wound healing, collagen production, uterine prolapses, indigestion, shock, improving cerebral blood flow, reduction of neurotoxicity, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, blood purification, fevers, thirst, hiccoughs, wind, stress and much more.

Another yummy way to eat ourselves well.

How are your ears and your hearing????

Our hearing connects us with people and helps us to enjoy life to the fullest. So, it’s vital for us to protect our ears and our hearing as much as we can.

Wax build-up is common but can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and earache, or a feeling of the ears being blocked.

Fortunately, we can help our ears to drain naturally and gently, improving our chances of avoiding any of the above.

Our Clearear Drops support painful ear conditions and earwax build-up and they contain………

Mullein, which is believed to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It has been used traditionally for middle ear infections, earaches, inflammation and for softening earwax. It is thought that it may also help to reduce tinnitus.

Eucalyptus is powerfully antimicrobial which may reduce infection that causes fluid build-up in the ears. It may reduce signs of cellulitis and help to promote healing.

Tea Tree is anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and insecticide. It is an ancient remedy for ear infections, including fungal conditions.

Rosewood has been prescribed in Ayer Vedic medicine for opening the inner ears. It has been used historically for ear infections and is not only anti-infectious but is also anti-fungal. In tests, it has been showed to kill all fungus it has been applied to, so may be useful for fungal ear conditions.

Oregano oil is an anti-septic and it’s believed it may destroy all pathogens on contact. It is thought to prevent the growth of established infections. It may also help to soften earwax.

H**p oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, which can inhibit inflammatory responses. It’s also an effective earwax softener.

Jojoba oil is skin rejuvenating and earwax softening. It is the closest oil to our own sebum, so, aids absorption and dissolves any dried sebum in the ears.

Spring onions are a yummy and easy addition to the diet. They are rich in nutrients that support appetite and enhance flavour. They are a very common ingredient in Asian dishes.

Spring onions are similar to onions medicinally, although spring onions have higher concentrations of vitamin A, C, K and folate.

Spring onions contain vitamin C and sulphur compounds that help your body fight off viruses and common colds. They are rich in quercetin, a flavonoid that helps lower inflammation and ease allergy symptoms like hay fever. The sulphur compounds and antioxidants regulate blood pressure and lower bad cholesterol levels.

The sulphur and antioxidants improve glucose tolerance and help keep blood sugar levels regulated. Their soluble prebiotic fibre feeds healthy gut bacteria and prevents stomach issues.

Traditional medicine uses the pungent white and green parts in broths as a natural expectorant and to clear mucus.

Crushed extracts show antibacterial properties against common germs.

Traditionally they have been used medicinally for colds, flus, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood sugar regulation, cancer prevention, blood clotting, bone health, immune health, cancer prevention, anti-aging, cellular health, enhancement of nutrient absorption, enhancement of production of white blood cells, poor circulation, cardiovascular health, improved bone density, eye health, inflammation, arthritis, congestion, respiratory infections, nasal passage inflammation, skin health, wrinkles, collagen synthesis, detoxification, liver function, UV damage, Acne and much more.

So add them to your regular diet. They are perfect for eating ourselves well.

How are your eyes????

They say all our muscles head south as we age, and that includes the muscles in the eyes.

We need to take care of our eyes. They degenerate just like the rest of our body.

We never lose the ability to regenerate while we still live. We just need to give the body the right tools to do it.

Eyebright has been used historically for conjunctivitis and other infections of the eyes and has been reputed to “restore eyesight”. This may be because it’s believed to condition every muscle in the eye. So, it is believed to regenerate the eyes, and has been used to reduce cataracts and glaucoma.

Cayenne pepper hydrosol is antioxidant and is believed to stimulate circulation in the eyes. Some say it may reduce cataracts. And it doesn’t sting.

Comfrey has been used historically for inflamed eye conditions, such as conjunctivitis. It’s also thought that its constituents may support cell regeneration in the eyes.

Fennel shows promise for reducing glaucoma and has historically been said to clear “cloudy eyesight”.

Plantain is so antibacterial that it’s said that when you pick the leaves, they won’t go moldy. It may kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. It may also reduce burning, itching or irritation.

Colloidal silver’s tiny silver particles are thought to be anti-bacterial and is believed to kill bacteria in the eye.

It is thought that grapefruit seed extract may counter eye irritants such as smog, dust, smoke, wind and contact lenses. It’s also a safe and effective natural preservative.

All of these amazing ingredients are in our Conditioning Soothing Eye Drops. Check it out at: https://www.theherbalists.co.nz/products/soothing-eye-drops

Olives provide rich stores of antioxidants, healthy fats, and triterpenic acids. Although olives have been used therapeutically for millennia, it is only in the 1900’s that the bitter therapeutic compound, oleuropein, was isolated from the leaf.

Phenolic compounds help relax blood vessels and support healthy circulation. The principle called “oleacein” inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme that restricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure.

Monounsaturated fats (oleic acid) help reduce bad LDL cholesterol while maintaining good HDL cholesterol.

Active plant compounds assist in lowering blood glucose and supporting insulin sensitivity. Oleuropein helps stimulate glucose uptake into cells and protects insulin-producing beta cells from oxidative stress.

High vitamin E and polyphenol content protect cells from premature aging.

Antioxidants help shield cartilage tissue and ease inflammatory joint pain.

Extracts from the fruit and leaves combat bacteria and fungi.

Vitamins A and E nourish skin cells and defend against UV ray damage.

Topical application of olive oil helps soften skin, ease minor bites, and heal dry tissue.

The leaf extract stops production of microtoxins, which contribute to chronic fatigue.

Traditionally, olive extracts have been used medicinally for viruses, retrovirus, candida, psoriasis, PMS, weight problems, bacteria, protozoa, Epstein Barr virus, poison antidote, e***a, heart tonic, colic, laxative, UV skin damage, wound healing, itch, scaly skin, burns, gastric and duodenal ulcers, high blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, heart failure, inflammation, gut health, coughs, sore throats, uric acid build-up, gout, high cholesterol and much more

Unfortunately, even the very best quality olive oil begins turning rancid within 7 days of pressing, so, it’s super important to use it fresh, from a reliable local source. Or use extracts made from the plant. Avoid pasteurised olive oil or any with added preservatives.

This is another truly amazing food that is meant to help us to be well.

It’s not meant to be complicated to be well, nor is it meant to be expensive.

Fungal Skin issues? Psoriasis? Eczema? Dermatitis? Rosacea? Rashes? Sun Damage? Aging?

Skin absolutely CAN be regenerated. We never lose the ability to regenerate for as long as we still live. We just need to give the body the right tools to do it.

Each of the following ingredients in our Moisturizing Antifungal Skin Correcting Oil has been carefully researched and chosen for their efficacy. Not a single ingredient is added randomly.

H**p is a rare plant-based form of full spectrum protein. Only a FULL spectrum protein can rebuild and renew cells.

Jojoba oil is thought to be the closest oil to our own sebum, so, oil balancing. It facilitates super absorption into the skin, so, you don’t end up with an annoying oily film sitting on the surface.

Sweet Almond oil is thought to prevent moisture loss and aid absorption of moisture.

Coconut oil contains lauric acid which is ideal for acne prone skin.

Calendula supports speedy healing and is soothing to dry, flaky and itchy skin.

Carrot seed oil is believed to have an SPF of 42 and may support historical skin damage, especially sun damage, right down through the layers.

Raspberry Seed oil, with it’s SPF of 37, is not only sun protective, but it is incredibly softening to the skin and calming to skin conditions that are reddened, irritated, itchy and dry.

Avocado oil soothes irritated skin while supporting production of collagen and new skin growth.

Rosehip may support dark spots, scars, fine lines and skin elasticity, right down through the layers.

Frankincense, also known as Boswellia, is one of the “kings” of essential oils for the skin. It has been shown to have toning, balancing and rejuvenating properties that keep skin feeling soft, supple and firm. It is also thought to be anti-bacterial and therefore useful for acne prone skin.

Myrrh is another of the “kings” of essential oils for the skin. It’s thought it may kill skin fungus and skin parasites. It may also speed the healing of skin sores and protect the skin from environmental toxins.

Does your little one suffer from skin rashes or nappy rash?

Check out our Baby Bum and Rash balm.

There are no nasties in it and it’s cloth nappy friendly. Not only will it support and soothe your little one’s nappy bum, but it will support and soothe other rashes too, including the face.

We keep it simple, to minimize any risk of allergic responses. It contains all of the following.

H**p seed oil is a full spectrum protein, which is rare in a plant. Only a FULL spectrum protein can rebuild and renew cells.

Raspberry seed oil is said to “make skin as soft as a baby’s bum”. Actually, it has traditionally also been used to calm and soothe irritated, reddened, itchy or inflamed skin. It may also have an SPF of 37, so, may be quite sun protective.

Coconut oil is believed to reduce skin redness and may also increase the natural flow of collagen.

Calendula is a well-known traditional gentle skin healer. It’s antifungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. It’s one of the most common traditional herbal treatments for nappy rash.

Aloe is soothing, healing and cooling.

We use a little raw manuka beeswax. That’s also anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal.
