Beat The Yeast!

If you’ve followed this site you know I am in love with The Herbalist here in Seattle. (click here for original story)

This week (after partaking in one too many slices of pizza, a margarita and mexican food – twice) I decided to try out another cleanse program from The Herbalist.

This week: Beat The Yeast Triple Kit

Here’s what it promises to do:

• Supports the body’s ability to maintain healthy flora
• Cleanses unwanted substances from the body
• Restores overall health of body systems
• Promotes immune system health

Maintaining healthy flora is important to the health of both men and women. If you’ve ever noticed your stomach rising like a loaf of bread after eating it’s likely because of the over population of unwanted intestinal bacteria. Do you find yourself feeling wiped out? It may mean that the natural flora in your gut is out of balance.

This triple-kit promises to restore healthy intestinal flora, support a stronger immune system, promote detoxification of the lymphatic system and increase one’s natural energy reserves.

Here’s what’s in the kit:

Fungal-Defend

Supports Healthy Intestinal Flora

This tonic contains herbs that traditionally have been used to support healthy intestinal flora. The herbs are said to cleanse and detoxify the body of unfriendly substances and optimize immune system function to restore the body’s natural protective mechanisms.

The herbs are tonifying for healthy nails, scalp, and skin.  This tonic supports the ability to maintain healthy vaginal flora. Although primarily used for internal use can also be applied topically.

Ingredients: Thuja leafy tops Thuja occidentalis, Spilanthes flowering herb Spilanthes oler., Usnea lichen Usnea barbata, Pau d’Arco inner bark Tabebuia imp., Echinacea root Echinacea angustifolia, Calendula flower Calendula off..

Astragalus Plus

Extra Strength Immune System Support

This extra strength immune system tonic is said to help fortify and strengthen the body. Astragalus helps increase the body’s “chi” or vital energy. Lomatium effectively inhibits most gram-positive bacteria and works quickly when combined with Echinacea. This tonic is believed to restore physical energy and immune system strength depleted from stressful conditions, lack of sleep, and other insults to the body.

Ingredients: Astragalus root Astragalus memb., Echinacea root E. angustifolia, Lomatium root Lomatium dissectum, Wild Indigo root Baptisia tinctoria, Myrrh resin Commiphora molmol, Poke root Phytolacca decandra, Yarrow flower tops Achillea mill., Cayenne pepper Capsicum annum.
