Herbal Formula for Energy

Ginseng Master herbal tincture

Our customers often request herbal solutions to stress, fatigue, burn-out and a way to increase energy and stamina.  Our most popular herbal tincture is Ginseng Master, formulated to help our bodies adapt to stress.  Stress can come from many different sources:  environmental (air pollution, environmental estrogens, food packaging, etc), emotional (loss, grief, relationships, etc.), and physical (illness, lack of sleep).   In my opinion, the amount of stress in a person's life, and how that stress is handled, is the number one determining factor in overall health and vitality.  Since this is a collective issue, and one so prevalent in our society, I have yet to find a person who wouldn't greatly benefit from the addition of an adaptogenic herbal formula into their daily routine.  Ginseng Master is available at Rowan's Leaf in a liquid tincture form, and contains Eleuthero (formerly Siberian ginseng), Red Chinese Ginseng, American Ginseng, Licorice, Ginkgo, Codonopsis, and Ginger.  The dosage is 15-30 drops (1/2 to 1 dropperful) 2-3 times per day, as needed in small amount of warm water.  We have this tincture available in bulk, and are offering an ongoing 10% discount if you bring your own tincture bottle.  I challenge anyone to take this herbal formula daily for three months and see how your energy and stamina levels improve!  You will be amazed at the increase in your overall vitality.  This tincture is not recommended for anyone with high blood pressure or for women who are pregnane/nursing.



Local Honey at Rowan's Leaf

Many of you have already experienced our incredibly healing and delicious local honey!  Every year, a local beekeeper from The Ridges subdivision, across the highway from Eldorado, gives us a very limited amount of honey to sell in our store.  Local honey has been regarded as one of the most effective ways to decrease seasonal allergies, a major issue in our community.  Research has shown that as little as 1/4 tsp daily, taken throughout the year, can reduce symptomatic allergies dramatically.  It is safe for children and adults and can be taken by the spoonful, or mixed with food or beverage.  Our honey is completely organic and has never been heated or processed.  For information on the medicinal benefits of local honey, click here.  For one week only, we are offering a 10% discount on our honey, with the mention of this blog.  This offer expires October 30th.
