I reached out to Bob after a very uncomfortable lingering cough due to Covid. He was quick to respond with some great herbal recommendations. He ordered the herbs and instructed me on how to take them. Within a week I saw a huge improvement! And after two weeks not only is my cough gone.. I’m sleeping better and see a marked difference in my energy level. Amazing! Thank you Bob! ~ Neta K. NYC Yoga Instructor May 2022   more testimonials here

 Herbal Medicine works.  We are now in the middle of an herbal medicine renaissance.  The Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s leading hospitals, recently added herbal medicine to it’s system of core approaches. Growing wildly again in popularity (pun intended) herbal medicine was largely forgotten in America starting in the 1940’s.  But ya can’t keep a good plant down!

Herbal medicine has always worked and it works even better because it is easier to gather and share information these days. My herbal practice effortlessly combines plant medicines from all over the world.

Modern science has given us a better understanding of how and why herbal medicine works bio-chemically, as knowledge of the phytochemicals (molecules in the plants) interact with the biochemistry of our bodies to help us back to health.   Many modern pharmaceutical medicines began as plant medicines, aspirin being the most famous example. Herbal medicine is modern, herbal medicine is scientific and herbal medicine is ancient, earthy and amazing.  Herbal medicine works.

Testimonial:  “I was starting to wonder if I had remnants of “long covid” or something worse when a cough lingered for about 6 weeks.  It was gone almost overnight after taking Bob’s tinctures of Shisandra and Bai Zhi and Cubeb berries. Thanks Bob! ”   Jeff E.  NYC. Musician/Conductor June 2022

Herbal medicine happens to be the medicine of positive side effects. Let’s say you you took Ginger for nausea or car sickness. You found that it works beautifully, almost instantly and way better than Dramamine®.  Your nausea vanished!   But other good things also happened, what I call the “positive side effects” of herbal medicine.  If used daily, your digestion would improve.  And according to recent scientific studies, your memory would improve.  Regular use of Ginger improves concentration, learning and memory.  Boom.

That’s not all.  Achy joints would start to feel better because Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and of great help for joint pain.  You wouldn’t catch colds as Ginger is antibacterial and antiviral.  And If you have a chill Ginger will warm you right up.

Ginger has also been proven in double blind studies to lower cholesterol!  How Could Ginger do so many things?   Because Ginger, as does every plant, contains thousands of phytochemicals, and many of those molecules are utilized by the body to promote healing.  Plants are extremely complex. Regular daily use of an herb keeps those important complex molecular substances circulating in the body and they dramatically improve your health.

“A cup of tea a day would starve the apothecary”  Chinese proverb.

 It’s easy on your wallet.  Dried Ginger will keep for years if well-stored.

It tastes delicious.  What more could you want? That’s why Ginger has been used as a medicine for thousands of years.

There are many herbs like Ginger that heal the body in many areas at once.  That is the “positive side effects of herbal medicine”.

But not everyone should take a lot of Ginger.  There are some contraindications.  If one tends to often feel flushed or too warm then Ginger is not the right herb for you.  Not all herbs work for everybody in the exact same way.  Herbalists are trained to get to the right plants quickly.  There are so many healing plants!
