Just a wake-up call about how every single bit of your life is affected, including the bed and sheets you sleep on. Start small, pay attention to one thing and make the change, then add another. It’s the toxins that are not required to be disclosed that are truly scary. Awareness is key and a gift to your families :)
Happy Sunday!

And yes we sell natural detergent for your clothes and make our own magnesium lotion without preservatives. And you can put our tallow on your face without fear. It doesn’t mean they last forever, but they weren’t meant too. If something lasts a long time, be afraid, very afraid! (Except tinctures of course!)

Burdock (Arctium lappa, A. minus) is a common w**d throughout temperate regions of the world. It prefers average garden soil & full sun, but will grow in wide variety of conditions. The root is gathered in Autumn (first year plant) or very early second spring. The seed in the autumn of the second year, when the seed is ripe.

Burdock root is a mild medicinal plant as well as a food. It is used in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. It is an effective treatment for lymphatic congestion with enlarged nodes that are tender to the touch.

As an alterative/antidyscratic, it is also used for inflammatory skin problems such as atopic eczema, psoriatic arthritis; osteoarthritis, gout, and gouty arthritis as it enhances uric acid excretion.

Burdock Root contains inulin, a rich source of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), which can help to promote the growth of the normal bowel flora. It also is soothing to the G.I. tract and can be useful for treating leaky gut syndrome, gastritis, ileitis, and IBS.

The young root, known as gobo in Japan, is edible and is usually cooked in soups or stir fries, and the peeled main stalk is a pleasant edible raw vegetable. The leaves are useful for pit cooking to wrap food and they can be burned to smoke brain-tanned leather.

The western use of Burdock seed is in protocols for dry, crusty, scaly, or itchy skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff.

In TCM, Burdock seed (Niu Bang Zi) is used in formulas to expel wind heat: for sore throat, irritative coughs, tonsillitis, colds or influenza with scratchy, painful throat.

It helps resolve “fire poison” conditions like rashes, boils, red swellings, erythema, and mumps; and to stimulate the eruption of measles and chicken pox.

Know Your Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) – is an essential nutrient that most animals are capable of manufacturing endogenously. Only apes, chimpanzees and humans need to get this water soluble nutrient from food. Vitamin C has significant antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity and it supports adrenal function, nervous and immune system activity, it lowers the risk of stroke and prevents premature skin aging. Ascorbic acid is a vital component of bones, ligaments, blood vessels and skin and it is needed to synthesize norepinephrine and carnitine. Inadequate vitamin C can inhibit collagen production, increase oxidative damage and, in extreme deficiency, cause scurvy. Vitamin C also refreshes vitamin E, restoring its antioxidant activity, and promotes iron absorption. Foods rich in vitamin C include acerola cherry, sweet yellow peppers, rose hips, chili peppers, guavas and black currants. Getting 500 mg per day from foods is difficult so supplementing vitamin C is useful, especially in smokers and in people breathing polluted air (it is estimated that smoking a pack of ci******es a day can deplete 400 mg of vitamin C).

Just a word about parasites. I really don’t think it’s a choice anymore to pretend that they don’t exist. Just like it’s not a choice to pretend your laundry detergent doesn’t have undeclared toxic ingredients, but that’s another conversation for another day.

So back to parasites! If you have a cat or dog, or go bare foot, swim, or have kids or grands, you are exposed. Not probably or maybe, but exposed. Now the problem occurs when you add super processed foods and literally feed the problem. It’s an easy fix really in the herbal world and relatively harmless. And honestly it’s needed with the change of the season’s.

We keep it simple and use Black Seed Oil and Sweet Wormwood tincture twice a day for 2-4 weeks depending on your personal constitution. We add spirulina or Chlorella as a binder and take care of the heavy metals part too.

If you have children I always recommend a pumpkin bar with pumpkin seeds because they help younger kids as well. Sneak in some walnuts and you have helped a little! Bind it with honey and oats and bake a little. You can add peanut butter, but make it real ground without preservatives.

So those are my thoughts for the day!
Hope it helps!!

Sometimes life takes you off literally of social media for a minute. We at 2 Wolves are growing, learning, and pushing ourselves forward to succeed. In what? Well we are now wholesaling to retailers and to clinicians for wellness centers. We are spreading our gift of good health to others . We are gratified to know that our products like the fat burn fire cider and lose the middle tinctures are working. And of course our beloved teas, which are a peaceful moment for reflection in a cup.

We are in the business to educate so every person that we meet has an impact for learning, growing, and helping others with the same problem. This is why we say our teas are “problem focused”. We understand well that we don’t diagnose and aren’t here to do that, but helping a person with a problem is a different matter.

Elderberry fire cider for example is perfect to support the immune system, while elderberry honey helps as well and kids love the taste.

And anti-viral tea? Well it helps with shortening the length of colds or the dreaded flu etc. If you are on the go use the antiviral tincture instead. 1-2 full droppers 2x to 3x a day and voila !!

Remember herbs are designed to work low and slow and each has a different purpose. They are totally meant for rebalancing an imbalanced system so that you can live your best life. And only adaptogens are truly meant for long term use. This is why they are customized for your use, because you are unique.

And did I tell you the best thing of all? Herbs are energy, living breathing energy. They are part of a huge ecosystem that we have separated ourselves from (albeit unintentionally). Reconnecting is simple, just as reconnecting to God is simple to find your spiritual path. Just 5 minutes of your day in grounding or earthing, and a sweet silent whisper of gratitude changes your life profoundly.

Oh, and go tell everyone ! It’s free and we need to reconnect with each other . That’s why we take it slow at Earth Momma’s Kitchen. It’s a vibe, come in, breathe in and exhale….yes you are home. Come alone and people watch, you may leave with some friends 🙂

Happy Monday! Just sit a minute, drink a sip of your favorite beverage, breathe deep, and thank God simply for just that moment. It’s magical 🧙!
