My dog had been suffering for months with an ulcer looking lesion and has cost hundreds of dollars just trying to settle it down. She was constantly licking which wasn't helping. The last visit cost $505 and had actually made it worse.

She had been on Nupentin, antibiotics, loxicam and allergy medication trying to figure out what could possibly help. I felt hopeless and stressed for my dog and finances considering I knew I was going to have to go back to the vet.

I came from Dunedin to Waipara to visit my best friend and she took me to the market in Amberley for a look around. We found your stall and I got the speech about how good this product was and to be fair I was very skeptical however for the $25 what did I have to loose.

I have been using this spray for about 3 weeks now and I wanted to show you the photo proof of how good it is.

I've talked to my vet and have weaned her off the Nupentin and I don't need to try anything else as it didn't work anyway.
I have kept her on the Loxicam just as it's an anti-inflammatory while it's still swollen from the original medication.
You will see in the photos how well her hair has grown back.

Thank you to The Herbalists you've helped my fur baby, I'm now a believer and have passed this on to my friends. - Kim

15 species of Cordyceps mushrooms grow in New Zealand. They are unique in that they need an insect host to grow on. Ophiocordyceps robertsii grows off the larvae of native moths, while Isaria sinclairii grows on cicada larvae. Cordyceps kirkii is rare as it grows only from giant Weta. Look for giant Weta carcasses and you may find Cordyceps.

Cordyceps can be found on the floors of native forests, with Cordyceps kirkii being found mainly on Great Barrier Island, and other rare places that Weta live.

Cordyceps is an adaptogen so may support autoimmune disorders.

All cordyceps mushrooms contain the key active compounds Cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine); a nucleoside and main bioactive constituent known for its potent anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects, Adenosine; an important nucleoside, Polysaccharides in abundance which contribute to the mushroom's anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties, Ergosterol; a sterol that is a precursor to Vitamin D, Cordycepic Acid (D-Mannitol); a sugar alcohol found in Cordyceps and known for its antioxidant properties, as well as many other constituents.

This amazing medicinal herb, Cordyceps has been used traditionally for medicine for fatigue, low mood, physical stamina, athletic performance, kidney function, liver health, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cardiovascular health, blood sugar regulation, immune modulation, inflammation, aging, sexual performance, fertility, respiratory support, coughs and much more.

What an amazing and intriguing herb.

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

Varicose veins????

Don’t want to wear shorts or skirts in the summer, or go swimming, because you don’t want anyone seeing them?

Varicose veins are caused by blood seeping through tiny perforations in thinned and weakened vein walls. Obviously, then, the vein walls must be repaired, thickened and strengthened to reverse the problem. This is usually a “DE-generative” condition. The body “NEVER” loses its ability to “RE-generate” while we still live. It just needs the right “tools” to do it.

Aescin, a complex group of organic chemicals in Horse Chestnut, repairs holes in leaking capillaries, prevents the release of enzymes that break down collagen and open holes in capillary walls, and prevents other forms of vein damage.

Butcher’s Broom is thought to prevent blood pooling in the veins where the vein walls are thinnest and weakest, reducing the lumpy appearance of varicose veins and relieving pressure on the vein walls. Coupled with Calendula, Butcher’s Broom is thought to condition, strengthen, and thicken the vein walls, restoring their integrity.

Frankincense, Orange and H**p oils are also well-regarded deep healers. And all of this is in a base of the most important healing mineral for life (responsible for the speed at which more than 300 body functions age and degenerate), magnesium. Magnesium absorption through the skin is believed to be as much as 95% compared with less than 50% orally and is essential for good vein health and circulation to the extremities. Topical magnesium is the best support for cramp and restless leg too, and also for sleep and stress.

Our Varicose Vein Support spray contains all of the above. A 100ml bottle should last 3 months; long enough to start seeing and feeling the difference.

Honeysuckle (Japanese), although pretty when flowering, is a pest w**d that was originally introduced to New Zealand as a garden plant. It has spread prolifically since.

The flowers are edible and contain a sweet honey-like nectar.

The leaves may cause stomach upsets and the black berries are toxic to humans.

Despite that, it is a truly valuable medicinal herb, when using the stems and flower buds.

Some of its many traditional medicinal uses are for acute rheumatoid arthritis, mumps, hepatitis, upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, dysentery, colds, flu, viral and bacterial infections, digestive disorders, pain and inflammation of the small intestine, headaches, fevers, urinary disorders, diabetes, immune boosting, staph infections, strep infections, e. coli, cholera, salmonella, meningitis, tuberculosis, inflammation, swelling, itching, boils, sores, laxative, promotion of sweating, detoxification and a lot more.

Wow!!! What a useful w**d.

Those pesky biting insects are all coming out in force now.

So, check out our Bugz Blitz.

If you’re anything like me, you forget the insect repellent until you’ve been bitten.

So, reach for the Bugz Blitz to soothe the itchin, and swelling and to prevent more bites. It’s blessed relief.

Our Bugz Blitz is made from safe natural ingredients and is pleasant to use. It’s awesome for the skin too.

It contains cider vinegar, which is naturally insect repellent, but good for our skin as it balances the skins PH and reduces inflammation. Bugs hate its smell and taste.

Witch Hazel is soothing and may reduce redness and itching. It’s also antimicrobial.
Neem is antiseptic and contains Azadirachtin, which is naturally insect repellent.

Lemon Eucalyptus contains PMD, or p-Menthane-3,8-diol, and is proven to be as effective as chemical based “Deet”.

Cedarwood, Rosemary and Lavender are also safe and natural insecticides.

And all of these ingredients are good for your skin.

The plant also produces an edible, fig-like fruit that can be used for jams and sweet treats.

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.

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. Check it out at www.theherbalists.co.nz

Mountain Violets (wild violets) are a pretty little New Zealand native plant that loves shady damp areas.

Although the leaves and flowers are edible, and rich in both vitamins A and C, the seeds and roots may cause nausea. Tender young leaves can be eaten raw, while older leaves can be added to soups and stews. The leaves are mucilaginous and can thicken liquids. The flowers can be used in sweet dishes.

Violets have a long history of medicinal use. They help with detoxification, immune system strengthening, lymphatic system stimulation and blood cleansing. Historically they’ve been used for sore throats, colds, sinus infections, respiratory conditions, bronchial conditions, dry cough, influenza, asthma, tissue swelling, joint pain, scrapes, bruises, mild laxative, high cholesterol, blood thinning, balancing intestinal flora, haemorrhoids, varicose veins, dermatitis, cysts, fevers, headaches, insect bites, skin abrasions, eczema, rashes and much more.

Although there is no known internal toxicity, some people develop a skin rash on contact with wild violet leaf.

This is yet another under utilised and amazing little herb.

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