How I'm Using Herbs to Take Better Care of Myself

Thursday, August 1, 2024

 


I love herbs so much because they can be so magical and beneficial.  The best part is that herbs are natural so I can use herbs and feel better about it since I know what I'm putting in my body. Today I'm going to share 3 things I'm using lately from WishGarden Herbs to take better care of myself and my overall well being. 




Holy Basil
I have always loved Holy Basil because when I grow it in my garden it smells amazing and looks beautiful. Holy Basil supports us on a physical and spiritual level and has so many benefits.  For starters, as an adaptogen it helps your body deal more effectively with stress and it builds resilience in your nervous system.  When you use it regularly it can improve endurance, metabolism, sleep and brain function, and can ease your frazzled nerves.  It can promote blood sugar regulation and healthy cholesterol levels, improve your stress response and support a healthy immune system, and can help with digestive system function.  WishGarden Herbs gets their Holy Basil from the Pacific Northwest on an organic farm.  
 
Their Holy Basil is so easy to take and I use it daily. I add about 4 pumps into a small amount of water and take it about twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. As a runner and someone who is active I like to keep my immune system strong so I can continue being active and as someone who gets stressed easily it's important that I take something that can help me chill out! 
 
Daily Immune Builder has elderberry and astragalus and helps with daily support for your immune functions.  You can take it long term since it's gentle but it's strong enough to give you healthy immune support and promote a healthy system response.  I put about 8 pumps in some water and take it twice a day - morning and evening.  I love elderberry and I will always be sure to take it daily. It also contains coneflower and burdock!
 
Ladies - this is for you!  Our monthly friend can be a hassle especially with making us feel off and really moody.  This Cycle Harmony supports normal levels of hormones through your cycle.  It can offer help for a bunch of hormone-based issues like PMS, irregular cycles, ovulation issues, and estrogen/progesterone levels. I don't have time to deal with nightmare cycles so I take this regularly twice a day - morning and evening - with about 8 pumps in some water.  The herbs it contains are ones like blach cohosh root, wild yam root, and motherwort. 

All 3 of these products have been an easy addition to my daily routine and I plan to try even more products from WishGarden! I love how easy their website is to navigate and you can even search for products categorized by health interest.  They give a lot of info for each product plus I really love the labels and the containers they come in!
