Barley grass is nutrient-dense and packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fibre.

The leaves added to a smoothie make an excellent nutrient tonic. The seeds are one of the only grains that can be eaten raw, after soaking for several days, exposed to sunlight.

Barley is said to be one of the first cereals ever cultivated by man. The earliest evidence goes right back to 8500BC.

It is blood cooling and soothing to internal organs and is highly favoured for this reason in hotter Arabic countries, both for people and their prized horses.

Barley contains gluten, so, may not be ideal for the gluten intolerant. It may regulate blood sugars by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

It contains tryptophan, which can enhance sleep quality.

Traditionally Barley has been used medicinally for heart health, blood pressure regulation, relaxation of blood vessels, cholesterol reduction, prevention of post meal sugar spikes, feeding of healthy gut bacteria, soothing the gastrointestinal tract, clearing of intracellular toxins, promotion of digestion, protection from cell damage, sleep, depression, inflammation, increasing bone density, reducing osteoporosis, convalescence, kidney function, urinary function, weight loss, immune regulation and much more.

Another healthy addition to the diet.

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

Sports injuries??? Sore muscles??? Pain???

Have you had enough of Anti-flams that either don’t work, or hurt your gut?

Check out our Deep Eeze Support Balm.

It’s thought that athletes can lose up to 20% of magnesium during a single session. And more than 300 functions of the body cannot work effectively without it. It activates vitamin D, which is needed for muscle recovery and regeneration. It improves circulation, stamina, and bone density and strength. It optimises performance and recovery and is key for maintaining healthy muscle and nerve function. It is an integral factor in cellular energy production pathways and is naturally anti-inflammatory and pain receptor blocking.

Arnica is believed to be anti-inflammatory and may have a similar action to ibuprofen.

Zingiberene, a main constituent in ginger oil, may reduce inflammation and provide support for muscle aches, arthritis, migraines and headaches.

Peppermint contains menthol, which has a cooling effect on sore, achy muscles. It also has analgesic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Peppermint contains an oxygen molecule, so, improves oxygen saturation into the cells, for improved energy and stamina. It’s anti-spasmodic and cooling and may also support relief of pain associated with fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.

Wintergreen oil contains the natural painkilling substance, methyl salicylate. One teaspoon of wintergreen oil contains as much methyl salicylate as about 20 aspirin. It quickly cools and eases aches, swelling, strains and sports injuries. It aids circulation and recovery, and can provide quick temporary relief for back, joint and muscle discomfort including sciatica, and arthritic or rheumatic conditions. It activates oxygenation of ligaments, bones and muscles, and relieves tension.

Researchers found that when diluted, lavender essential oil applied topically, may provide pain relief comparable to that of the pharmaceutical medication tramadol.

Researchers believe that frankincense may prevent the release of leukotrienes, which are compounds that can cause inflammation.

Rosemary contains key chemical compounds that act as an analgesic to inflammation and pain. It has traditionally been used for musculoskeletal pain support.

Clove leaf oil may contain more active Eugenol than the buds. Eugenol inhibits N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors which are involved in pain sensitivity. It produces a mild numbing effect.

Research suggests that lemon eucalyptus oil may support easing of joint pain and reduction of swelling. It relieves joint and/or muscle trauma such as tendonitis, elongation, contracture, lumbago, torticollis etc, and nerve inflammation such as neuralgia, neuritis, sciatica etc. It is thought to activate Wintergreen when used in conjunction with it.

H**p oil Contains cannabinoids that may alter pain receptors, to reduce pain.

Almond oil has a very relaxing effect on the blood vessels.

Feverfew's main active constituent, parthenolide blocks the release of inflammatory chemicals.

Devil's claw contains the plant compounds, iridoid glycosides, which have been shown to suppress inflammation. It has been used historically for millennia for pain support.

Researchers found that topical menthol can act as a counterirritant with cooling effects, which desensitizes the sensory nerve cells, nociceptors.

Our Deep Eeze Balm contains all of the above, and it works quickly.

A small shipping update.

Just a heads up that from the 1st of June (a week today), we do need to make a small change to our shipping prices due to ongoing cost increases.

– Free shipping will move from orders over $100 to orders over $120
– Flat rate shipping will change from $8 to $10

We’ve made the decision not to increase the prices of our products themselves because we still stand by what we’ve always said…

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

Thank you, as always, for supporting our small NZ business.

Kelp is a nutrient-dense seaweed that provides abundant iodine for balancing of thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and energy levels, calcium, magnesium, iron, folate, pantothenic acid, vitamin K1 and vitamin A.

It can be used in tablet form or as “Kelp Salt” sprinkled like salt on food.

Kelp is still widely used to treat iodine deficiency and support thyroid function, metabolism, and energy regulation. It contains fucoxanthin, a compound shown to aid in fat reduction and improve metabolic health. It’s also rich in alginate, a natural fibre that reduces fat absorption and helps control blood sugar levels.

Kelp also provides anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and bone-strengthening benefits.

Traditionally, kelp has been used medicinally for thyroid function regulation and health, metabolism regulation, weight loss, boosting energy levels, diabetes, bone density improvement, dental health, anaemia, cancer prevention, especially colon and breast cancers, nutritional support, blood pressure regulation, lowering of high cholesterol, cardiovascular support, brain health, muscle health, cellular repair and much more.

Another awesome herb to add to any “eat yourself well” plan.

Are deodorants good for us?????

Most over the counter deodorants contain the known neurotoxin, aluminium.

It enters and is deposited into the brain, where it may contribute to neurological damage including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinsonism disorders and autism spectrum disorders. Some studies have found people using aluminium antiperspirants had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Magnesium deficiency has also been linked to smelly sweat. When deficient, the body’s ability to break sweat down into compounds diminishes. Magnesium doesn’t mask odours — it detoxifies the body and reduces odours from the inside out.

Witch Hazel is a natural astringent and anti-inflammatory, removing excess moisture while killing bacteria. It’s strongly anti-deodorant and leaves no residue.

Our Magnesium Chloride Deodorant sprays blend magnesium and witch hazel for an effective antiperspirant deodorant that also delivers magnesium to activate vitamin D and support more than 300 functions of the body.

We add essential oils that are naturally anti-depressant while boosting confidence and courage — calming Rose and Orange or anti-stress Frankincense and Orange.

Kale is a highly nutritious, nutrient-dense leafy green rich in vitamins K, A, E and C, Potassium, fibre, calcium, magnesium, lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health, beta-carotene,

A single cup of raw kale provides 70% of the recommended daily value of vitamin K1, which is crucial for healthy blood clotting.

It’s high levels of chlorophyl support eye health, bone health and detoxification. It reduces inflammation, promotes heart health, manages blood sugar levels and is anti-cancer due to compounds such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, which prevent DNA damage and help block cancer cell growth at the molecular level. It’s linked to reducing the risk of colon, breast and prostate cancers.

Traditionally it has been used medicinally for lowering cholesterol, regulating blood pressure, gut inflammation, enhancement of gut microbiome diversity, macular degeneration, improved bone density, cataracts, weight management, detoxification, immune function, heart health,

Cautions…… Raw kale contains goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function in high amounts.

Kale contains oxalates, which may be problematic for those prone to certain types of kidney stones, if consumed in large amounts.

For maximum benefit, incorporating raw or lightly cooked kale into your diet.

Another awesome food to eat ourselves well with.

Do you know someone whose beard needs taming????

We are rebranding our Anti-stress Beard Oil to “Manzmane” beard oil and launching our first rebranded batch on the 15th of May.

Our Manzmane beard oil contains….

Jojoba oil for softening and smoothing the hair and nourishing the skin to reduce dryness, itchiness, and "beardruff" (beard dandruff). Creating a healthy environment for hair follicles, supporting thicker and stronger hair growth, it also moisturises and conditions the hair and soothes irritated skin.

H**p seed oil to stimulate hair growth, strengthen hair strands, soothe skin irritations or inflammations, reducing both itchiness and beardruff while keeping skin and beard hair hydrated, soft and naturally shiny.

Vitamin E rich Sweet almond oil to moisturize and soften beard hair, promote healthy growth, and reduce beard itch and flakiness, making the beard softer, easier to manage, and less prone to dryness, brittleness, and split ends.

Anti-inflammatory Frankincense essential oil, which is calming to irritated skin, reducing signs of redness due to acne, eczema or other skin irritations. It provide a barrier for the skin, and balances sebum production to prevent excess oil accumulation.

Orange essential oil moisturizes both the skin and hair, reducing itching and flaking, and adding a subtle shine, while also offering antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties to promote a healthy beard and skin.

Sandalwood essential oil can moisturize, soften, and soothe the beard and skin, reducing itchiness and irritation, while also adding a healthy shine.

These 3 essential oils, blended, are natural anti-depressants that boost both confidence and courage. Sandalwood is thought to boost the production of Serotonin, the anti-stress hormone.

And most importantly, it smells amazing too.

Horseradish is a nutrient rich edible plant from the “mustard” family. Although all parts of the plant are edible, it is the root that is most eaten. It contains calcium, magnesium, potassium, and high levels of Vitamin C.

Horseradish is a very powerful stimulant herb that controls bacterial infections, both internally and externally, due to its content of allyl isothiocyanate. It flushes bacteria and toxins from the body.

Used as a poultice, the herb brings blood to the skin surface and improves circulation in the area.

Horseradish has been used traditionally to treat respiratory illnesses, clearing of nasal passages, sinus infections, lung conditions, colds, flus, fevers, coughs, bronchitis, E. coli, Salmonella, fungal conditions, stomach secretions, digestive aid, sluggish digestion relief, urinary tract health, kidney flushing, urinary flushing, inflammation, arthritis, muscle soreness, skin impurities, chilblains, pleurisy, appetite stimulator, breaking down of protein, fading of age spots, infected wounds,

Don’t take horseradish if you have thyroid issues or stomach ulcers.

Otherwise, it really is another way to eat ourselves well.

Arthritis? Osteoporosis? Joint pain? Growing pain?

Boron (and magnesium) deficiency in people is very common in New Zealand due to the soils we grow our food in being deficient.

Boron is a micronutrient that is necessary for plant, animal, and human health, and as recent research suggests, possibly for the evolution of life on Earth.

Boron is proven to be essential for the growth and maintenance of bone, to greatly improve wound healing, to support the body’s use of oestrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D, to boosts magnesium absorption, to reduce levels of inflammatory biomarkers, to raise levels of antioxidant enzymes, to protect against pesticide-induced oxidative stress and heavy-metal toxicity, to improve the brains electrical activity, cognitive performance, and short-term memory, to support the formation and activity of key biomolecules, to support preventive and therapeutic effects in a number of cancers, and to support the adverse effects of modern chemotherapeutic agents.

Boron has traditionally been used for yeast infections and candida. It’s also been used for menstrual cramps and for radiation induced skin damage.

Some symptoms of boron deficiency include hyperthyroidism, imbalance of s*x hormones, osteoporosis, arthritis, abnormalities in the function of the nervous system, decline of cognitive function, vaginal yeast infections, growing pain, and more.

It's thought that prune juice and avocados may contain high levels of boron.

Magnesium is also deficient in our soils and therefore in us. Yet we cannot regenerate without vitamin D and vitamin D remains dormant in the body until it’s activated by magnesium. Boron is believed to boost the half-life of vitamin D in the body, so, with added boosting from Boron, we can maximise regeneration.

Food for thought…..Degenerative conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis are caused by degeneration, and not age. Magnesium and Boron are the main minerals of regeneration. It’s thought that more than 80% of people are deficient. Magnesium and Boron deficiency may be the main cause of degeneration in most. While we are still alive, we never lose the ability to regenerate…we just need the right tools, and they may be magnesium and boron.

Check out our Magnesium Chloride and Boron spray for support for joint pain, growing pain, arthritis, osteoporosis and other degenerative conditions at www.theherbalists.co.nz

Also our pre winter sale starts Wednesday the 6th at 5.30pm until Thursday the 7th at 5.30pm! This is your chance to stock up on wellness products before winter set in. All online products for sale at our market prices.
