Pre-mixed tinture herbs available at the Bulk Herb Store
Pre-mixed tinture herbs available at the Bulk Herb Store

The best way to fight the dreaded swine flu or any other flu is not to get it in the first place. As our modern food supply is not as nutrient-rich as it needs to be to keep our immune systems healthy and as most kids are not on the ideal diet anyway, herbs can be a great help to stay healthy during our wet and virus- friendly Washington winters. 

The Bulk Herb Store, an online supplier of herbs owned by Shoshanna and James Easling, offers a great immune boosting herbal mixture .Their website is not only beautiful but offers fresh, high-quality herbs at low prices along with a wealth of information on herbal medicine in general and on the healing properties of each herb in particular. If you are new to herbal medicine, see a visit to this site as a 101 course in herbs. Even if you are experienced in herbal lore, you are sure to find something new and interesting at the Bulk Herb Store.

Thanks to their Christian work ethic, it is a pleasure to order from the Bulk Herb Store. Orders arrive promptly and in perfect condition. You are treated as one of the family.

The Bulk Herb Store's pre-mixed Double-E Immune booster  containing echinecea roots and tips, elder berries, nettles, ginseng and rosehips is available at $ 12.55 per 1/2 lb.   They also carry other pre-mixed remedies useful during the cold and flu season, e.g. a cough remedy and a daily-boost herb powder to mix with your childrens' smoothies.

An easy way to administer herbs to children is in the form of glycerite tinctures. They taste sweet and it takes only a minute to take a dropperful in a little juice or water.  The Bulk Herb Store has a free downloadable video showing you how to make tinctures.

You can order a gallon of glycerine from Shay and Company in Portland for $ 20.00 per gallon. You may want to share your gallon with a friend or it will last you for years.

Have a fun afternnoon making your herbal tincture with your kids! Take your tincture every day and if things get really nasty, go to bed with a few slices of fresh garlic in your socks! It works wonders!
