Natural Hope Herbals

Natural Hope Herbals

Herbal medicine is intriguing to many - since traditional medical institutions are increasingly losing public trust even though sickness and diseases persist, some people are finding new ways to treat minor health conditions without using manmade drugs or supplements. The human body and immune system will always have persistent flaws, no matter how well we eat, drink, and exercise. But what if the remedies to those flaws could be found and made from the resources around us on earth, such as plants, roots, teas, and herbs? After all - that's what they seem to be intended for, given that plants like garlic, ginger, and various flowers have healing properties that support immune health, whether reactively or preventatively. The FDA still regulates herbal products as dietary supplements, not as medicines - but should this really be the standard?

Natural Hope Herbals is on a mission to make ancient, proven herbal tonics and remedies available to the general public, proving that man's way of medicine isn't always the best way.

What is Herbal Medicine?

In order to explain how herbal medicine works, we first must explain what it is. Herbal medicine (also referred to as phytotherapy or botanical medicine) is simply the process of using plants, roots, and herbs to create natural remedies for pain, disease, sickness, immune health, and preventive uses. Yep, it's true - just as food is consumed for energy, so can herbs be consumed for medicine! Herbals are retrieved and made into medicines by harvesting plants and infusing them into extracts for tonics, oils for salves and ointments, powders for adding to teas, capsules, and drinks, and other methods of consumption. These plants and herbs have specific nutrients in them that provide relief from side effects of various illnesses and can help prevent some health conditions from developing.

Herbal medicine has a long history of use throughout many, many generations of people. Recipes for herbal remedies have been found and dated as far back as the times of the Egyptians who first developed cuneiform and the alphabet - over 5,000 years ago. More modern examples include Native American peoples and Chinese eastern medicines, both of which are known for their heavy reliance on herbs and plants to form the base of their treatments. Since then, modern medicine has overtaken the field of healing - but Natural Hope Herbals seeks to pave the way for more accessibility and awareness of herbal medicines that worked so well for our ancestors.

A popular example of such an herb is echinacea, a purple coneflower that has been linked to aiding all kinds of conditions, including respiratory illnesses, colds, toothaches, snake bites, arthritis, nausea, and even cancer. Similarly, goldenseal is a root that Native Americans have used as a remedy for digestion, wounds, and skin and eye conditions. Chamomile is known for improving sleep, digestion, and anxiety. Ginseng is often used in teas and has proven to boost cognitive function, support cardiovascular health, and the immune system. When multiple herbals are combined, they can have even greater health benefits as well - in fact, herbals have been developed for treating high blood pressure, remineralizing cavities, and inducing labor and delivery for pregnancies.

Herbal medicine is a field that still lacks in-depth research concerning the universality of its success - but the information we do have is significant enough to ensure that using herbal remedies is safe and often effective.

Natural Hope's Herbal Remedies

So where does Natural Hope Herbals come in? They believe it's simple - grow quality, organic herbs and plants that can be used to develop natural medicines and supplements like those that preceded us did. Then, simply produce these formulas and distribute them for use to the general public. Natural Hope Herbals' website has category pages for every system of the body that their products have proven benefits for, making it easy to learn about, navigate, and select from the herbs, formulas, and supplements that they offer.

Natural Hope Herbal's Dental Formula is an herbal tincture, made from black walnut hull extract, marshmallow root, horsetail herb, oak bark, and peppermint leaf that work together to naturally heal cracked teeth and halt the process of tooth decay. The tincture is made by soaking these herbs in vegetable glycerin, organic cane alcohol, and purified water and can also help soothe the pain associated with tooth decay and cavities. Taking the herbal tonic involves simply adding 1-2 droppers of the tincture to a small amount of water and swishing it around your teeth before swallowing.

The Organic Super Tonic that Natural Hope Herbals takes pride in is really an ancient herbal recipe, also known as "fire cider" since it's made with ingredients that have a spicy, tangy kick to them, like garlic, ginger, horseradish root, onion bulb, and cayenne fruit. Another example of an herbal tincture, this formula acts as an immune support supplement that helps ward off colds, flu, sore throats, and other viral infections. Just like with the Dental Formula, the Super Tonic can be taken by adding a couple drops to a glass of water or juice, several times daily.

Natural Hope Herbals also makes several topical salves and ointments as well. The Garlic Salve is a powerful chest rub ointment that acts as an all natural alternative to Vicks chest rub. Garlic Salve can be applied for all kinds of upper respiratory diseases, but has also been used for treating pimples, ringworm, athlete's foot, small wounds, rheumatic pains, and earaches too. It treats these conditions by drawing blood from deeper tissues and organs to improve circulation and provide relief. Along the same lines, the ingredients in Natural Hope's Deep Tissue Salve help increase blood flow for treating muscle aches and cramps, in addition to congestion, sore throats, colds, headaches, and swollen lymph nodes.

The Energizing Morning Greens is one example of Natural Hope Herbals' preventive products. This blend of powdered produce contains all kinds of vitamins, fiber, probiotics, and other nutrients in a single scoop that can be blended into water, smoothies, or juices as a quick morning nutritional boost.

All of Natural Hope Herbals' products are made from 100% all natural, USDA-certified organic ingredients that are grown and processed in an FDA registered and inspected plant. Natural Hope refuses to use synthetic (manmade) ingredients, fillers, or bases, making their consumables wholesome and effective.
