The broad bean or fava bean (Vicia faba) is a member of the vetch family and is thought to be one of the first foods cultivated by man.

They are highly nutritious and a good source of vitamins A & C, as well as potassium, folate, magnesium and iron.

Broad beans contain high levels of L-DOPA, the same precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine used in Parkinson's medication. Synthetic L-DOPA can have side effects, but eating broad beans can offer a natural and more easily tolerated source.

Research has certainly shown that broad beans can improve symptoms for Parkinson's patients.

Broad beans have also been used medicinally for Cardiovascular health, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Digestive health, constipation, blood sugar regulation,

Immunity, mental health, fatigue, foetal development, weight management, bone health, muscle function, tooth health, skin inflammation, warts, burns, coughs, kidney issues, ge***al complaints and more.

Another awesome health-giving vegetable that is also a beneficial herb. Well worth adding to the diet, perhaps????

Pain an issue??? Bone Pain??? Tissue Pain??? Nerve Pain??? Muscle Pain??? Recovering from an injury???

We’ve just finished a new batch of our Deep Eeze Spray, and it’s perfect support for all of the above.

Our Deep Eeze Spray contains the following…..

Magnesium relaxes muscles, controls muscle contractions and relaxes nerve sheaths, which may then release pressure on the nerves. It’s also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and to block NMDA (pain) receptors.
Magnesium deficiency has been linked to multiple neurological disorders.

Comfrey was nick-named “knit-bone” during wartime. It has traditionally been used for all manner of wounds and broken bones, to speed healing and reduce inflammation.

The latest trials with Solomon’s Seal show positive improvement in cases of repetitive strain injuries such as RSI, Carpel Tunnel, Tennis Elbow, Runners Knees, etc, and even partial tears of the rotator cuff.

Devil’s claw contains components that have strong anti-inflammatory effects and is widely used by the equestrian set for pain relief for their horses.

Feverfew has traditionally been used to support headaches, migraines and aches.

Arnica has traditionally been used to support bruising and blood vessels, and to reduce swelling.

Piperine in black pepper can enhance the absorption and function of other nutrients, such as both Ginger and Cayenne, which are believed to be anti-inflammatory and circulation boosting.

Cloves contain Eugenol, a well-known and commonly used pain reliever.

Calamus was commonly used to support muscle, joint, vascular and nerve injury associated with severe inflammatory and neuropathic pain. It’s also believed to energise the cells.

Gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) present in h**p seed oil has been shown to reduce inflammation.

Frankincense has been shown to inhibit the production of key inflammatory molecules associated with conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.

Both Rosemary and Eucalyptus have traditionally been used to reduce pain and inflammation.

Peppermint contains menthol, which can have a cooling and soothing effect on injury areas and may help to transport other nutrients to where they are needed quickly.

For quick and long-lasting support, check out our Deep Eeze spray at www.theherbalists.co.nz.

Just spray on and rub in.

Green beans are delicious and highly nutritious, being rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C and folate.

Green beans contain high amounts of chlorophyll, which may block the carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines that are generated when grilling meats at a high temperature.

Green beans are fibre rich, which may help alleviate constipation, enhance nutrient absorption, act as a prebiotic, aid control of blood sugar levels, protect from chronic disease, lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure, improve heart health, improve blood vessel function, aid foetal development, reduce risk of neural tube defects in babies, increase red blood cells and strengthen bones.

Green beans have been used medicinally historically for regulating blood pressure, boosting the immune system, diabetes management, heart health, bone health, digestive health, IBS, eye health, pregnancy support, anaemia, cancer damage, cancer prevention, weight management and more.

So get some yummy green beans into your diet and enjoy better health.

Bone pain? Nerve pain? Headaches? Joint pain? Muscle pain? Sports injuries?

Check out our Deep Eeze Support Balm.

Magnesium is believed to be naturally anti-inflammatory and pain receptor blocking. It’s also believed to relax muscles and nerve sheaths. It may also prevent cortical spreading depression, which produces the visual and sensory changes in the common types of aura associated with migraines.

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 is anti-spasmodic and cooling and may inhibit muscle contractions in the head and neck while also stimulating blood flow to the area. It’s believed that Peppermint oil may support relief of pain associated with fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.

Wintergreen oil contains the natural, and very powerful, painkilling substance, methyl salicylate. One teaspoon of wintergreen oil contains as much methyl salicylate as about 20 aspirin.

A study found that Lavender oil inhalation was significantly effective in acute management of migraine attacks, with no side effects. Researchers found that when diluted, lavender essential oil applied topically, may provide pain relief comparable to that of the pharmaceutical medication tramadol.

Frankincense oil’s principal constituents, Boswellic acids, may have anti-inflammatory properties that support pain management of arthritis. 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 has historically been used to regulate and activate the nervous system for nerve pain, headache, and “debility.” It is thought that Lemon Eucalyptus may “activate” Wintergreen to increase its actions.

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 has historically been used for headaches and migraines. Feverfew's main active constituent, sesquiterpene lactone, parthenolide may work to reduce the likelihood of migraines through physiological pathways.

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.

Bananas are delicious, but also good for us. Don’t throw away the skins. They too are perfectly edible and also medicinal.

Bananas are rich in potassium, iron, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin C. The skins add Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Potassium, Fiber and Protein to the mix.
High levels of tryptophan in bananas, combined with the B6 in banana skins, can relieve symptoms of depression and other mood disorders. Tryptophan converts to serotonin, the anti-stress hormone, as it breaks down.

Traditionally banana skins have been used medicinally for Tooth whitening, constipation, Cancer, eye health, psoriasis, insect bites, Splinters, skin allergies, Warts, Crohn’s disease, IBS, insomnia, depression, high cholesterol, sun damage to skin, acne, hair hydration, rashes, itching, migraine, headaches, cataracts, dark eye circles, fine lines, digestion and much more.

Who would have thought that such a delicious fruit could do so much for us?

Oh dear. Here come the bugs!!!

If you’re anything like me, you forget the insect repellent until they’ve already bitten. So, I reach for the Bugz Blitz to soothe the itching and prevent more. 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. Bugs hate its smell and taste. And neem contains Azadirachtin, which is naturally insect repellent. Lemon Eucalyptus contains PMD, which is proven to be as effective as Deet. Cedarwood, Rosemary and Lavender are also safe and natural insecticides.

If you are out and about and get bitten, look for plantain. It’s in most lawns. Crush it to squeeze out the juice and rub it on your bites. It will soothe the itching and neutralize venom. It might leave green patches on the skin though, lol.

Sports can be demanding and tough on the body!!!!

It’s thought that athletes can lose up to 20% of magnesium during a single session. It’s thought that more than 300 functions of the body cannot work effectively without magnesium.

Magnesium activates vitamin D, which is needed for muscle recovery and regeneration. It improves circulation, stamina, and bone density and strength. Magnesium optimises performance and recovery and is key for maintaining healthy muscle and nerve function. It is an integral factor in cellular energy production pathways.

The active ingredient in wintergreen oil, methyl salicylate, is closely related to aspirin and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions to quickly cool and ease 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.

Lemon Eucalyptus is a powerful anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and analgesic. It is ideal to relieve 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.

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.

Our Sports Magnesium Spray contains all of the above, condensed into a super strength 50ml sports bag friendly sized bottle. Check this useful product, and many others, out at www.theherbalists.co.nz.

Artichoke (Jerusalem) contain high levels of inulin, which acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and improving overall gastrointestinal health. They also contain pain relieving salicylic acid.

Jerusalem Artichokes are a good source of nutrients and quality protein. They can make an ideal substitute for potatoes for some people.

Traditionally, Jerusalem Artichoke has been used medicinally for digestive health, constipation, management of diabetes, lowering of blood sugar, improved metabolism, lipid disorders, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, protection from cell damage, skin wounds, better wound healing, skin irritations, pain relief, fevers, immune boosting, appetite suppression, detoxification from heavy metals and alcohol and much more.

Eat moderately, in small amounts, as, excess inulin can cause bloating and discomfort in some people.

Another amazing herb that most people think is just an ugly looking root vegetable.
