A few Powerful  Primary Anti Viral herbs 

• Oregano
• Clove
• Astagulus
• Garlic
• Elderberry
• Mullein 

Secondary Antiviral herbs
These powerful herbs which particularly bind to the antiviral enzymes through specific properties such as  anti oxidants and much more. Providing a new property known as “MODIFIERS”  which aid in the defeat of antiviral resistances’. Secondly, they will provide through completely natural solutions for different level of viral infections and or to different parts of the human anatomy (this effect is then applied to the genetic makeup while in parallel modifying the molecular composition of the viral infection, thus breaking it down(Modifying) to a non resistant level. To get a better understand read our post on “ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT MODIFIERS” Thirdly, “Secondary” is not limited to one additional herb but many.

Oregon Grape: (can be used in a antiviral formulation to assist antiviral properties while maintaining a healthy immune system)
Green Tea: provides a powerful amount of antioxidant properties, thus inhibiting oxidation of infected cells that can potentially inhibit the aid of repair needed.
Lavender: its powerful antimicrobial properties assist directly the antiviral properties in parallel thus creating a molecular environment that is repairable.
Slippery Elm Bark: this potent herb provides extremely high levels of nutrition but not to the virus to all effected areas then while assisting the primary herbs antiviral properties to create a repair.
Dandelion: Another powerhouse of a herb that not only provides secondary supplementation(s) of nutritional vitamins and mineral it also has diuretic properties which aid in detox of toxins and neurotoxins derived from the viral infection(s)
Bee Pollen: loaded with pure form of complex vitamins and also classified as a superfood will supplement the immune system and central nervous system in tandem with the primary herb antiviral properties.
Grapefruit seed extract: another powerhouse of a herb with antioxidant, anti viral properties and also maintains a healthy immune system.
Pine Needles: This herb has powerful antiseptic properties which viral infections cannot survive

A few Powerful Essential oils

Thieves oil: This oils is composed of many powerful essential oil to provide a natural and sanitary environment were no virus can survive.
Grapefruit: This essential oil is loaded with antioxidant and vitamin C which inhibits oxidation and make the virus accessible for repair. and  will help maintain a health immune system.
Cinnamon: This essential oil provides  powerful antiseptic properties which bind to the primary herbs antiviral properties which creates a sanitary molecular environment so that the virus is reparable and not able to mutate and or propagate.
Rosemary: this powerful oil stimulates the immune system and other main system to be receptive of other powerful antiviral enzymes ( do not use this oil if you have had any cases of epilepsy, convulsions, and or stroke.)
Clove: Loaded with powerful antibacterial and antiviral enzymes to produce a powerful anesthetic property to help with pain relief.
Tea tree: Has Potent anti viral and anti bacterial properties. and diluted, is amazing for burns (all types).

Lavender:  The high levels of concentrates of enzymes that produce powerful antimicrobial properties assist directly the antiviral properties in parallel thus creating a molecular environment that is repairable.

Preparing for a seasonal change "ELDER"

Preparing for a seasonal change  “Elderberry”

Elderberry also a member of the honeysuckle family is a powerhouse for aiding and maintaining the immune system possesses large levels of vitamin c and also has a presence of  Bioflavanoids help deter viral and bacterial infections from invading cells and replicating . The present Phytochemical in european elder help defeat viral infections.

The Power of Oregano and Oregano Essential Oil:

The Power of Oregano and Oregano Essential Oil:

Target: All Main Systems

Survival: Medicine

Oregano is a powerful herb producing vital enzymes( high levels of concentrates of  thymol and carvacrol) that defeat infections (both bacterial and viral). They also help strengthen and maintain a healthy immune system and respiratory system. This herb is also classified as an antibiotic herb.

Oregano has a high O.R.A.C, level of 15,300 per 100 grams
Thyme has an O.RA.C. level of near 15,380 per 100 grams
O.R.A.C. is the scale used to measure the amount or degree of antioxidants present per measurement.
Both Thyme and Oregano have similar effects medicinally on the respiratory system. and when mad as a tea and cooled can be used as a mouth rinse for mouth and canker sores.

Secondly, Oregano is powerful as a tea or connection or tincture as well for bacteria and viral infections but does not possess the high levels of concentrates as 
oregano essential oil.

Oregano Tea recipe:
2 tablespoons of dried oregano leaves preferably greek if possible, 10 ounces of boiling water let steep for 15 minutes  let cool then strain and press. drink with no milk or sugar you can add a bit of raw wildflower honey if needed. 

Oregano Concoction Recipe
boil 2 cups of water and when water comes to a hard boil add herbs an bring down heat to a low simmer and cover for about 20 minutes or until water level has reduced to half. this is stronger than a tea but less levels of concentrates than a tincture good for sore throats or stubborn or persistent colds and flues and even bronchitis
A few benefits that these powerful enzymes help are:

A Sore Throat and antiseptic mouth rinse with anesthetic properties Recipe

1 pint of warm distilled water (not boiling)
3 drops of Oregano essential oil diluted to 2-3 percent
2 drops of Thyme essential oil diluted to 2-3 percent

3 drops of lavender essential oil diluted to 2-3 percent


Direction:
Blend all the essential oils together well first 
Let the blend propagate for 24 hrs.
add 1 pint of warm distilled water and precise at least 35 time to disperse the oils throughout.

Without swallowing rinse and gargle daily and nightly the clove will help ease the pain through its anesthetic properties. the Lavender will kill any microbes present with the thyme and oregano oils. This formula acts both as an antibody and a healing agent.



Internal Uses:

• Digestive Problems
• Sinus Congestion
• Colds and Flu's
• Sore throat
• Bronchitis
• Pneumonia
• Respiratory infections

 Open Blisters

Toenail Fingus'

When Blended with lavender essential oil  and either pure grape seed oil and or jojoba carrier oil it is  powerful aid for eczema and acne.

Due to it’s anti fungal properties it works well on toe nail fungus’s especially when properly blended with lavender and tea tree essential oils. 

Top Natural Solutions for Pneumonia

Top Natural Solutions for Pneumonia;

Pneumonia is a respiratory system infection that severely weekend the immune system, swells the lung with a fiber like congestion of mucus. Bacterial and viral infections are retransmitted to other cells through this contaminated mucus/phlegm. it is vital to clear the lungs as quickly as possible to also reduce the added burdens on the immune system.

A few good methods to a solid and quick recovery are:

Thieves oil as a disinfectant of the environment and the lungs.

High doses of vitamin C for immune system recovery and support. See Vitamin C syrup recipe at bottom of this post. and importantly nutritional supplementation(s) and hydration especially with pure coconut water when possible this will help balance electrolytes.

• Mullen This herb will kill any virus on contact.
• Horehound. a powerful antibacterial/antiviral herb specifically for the respiratory system.
• for very severe cases use ground ivy( also known as creeping charlie)  but use sparingly.
• Garlic and onion syrup for its powerful immune system support and antibacterial and antiviral properties.

If White Blood Cell  count drops to a low level make a concoction of Astragulus root or Echinacea root to increase white blood cell count.

The Goal is to clear the mucus from the respiratory system, purify the blood from toxins (dandelion Root,Burdock Root) and eliminate any fever if present( Yarrow Root, White willow bark) and aid in the recovery of a healthy immune system, Then providing nutritional supplementation ( Slippery Elm Gruel is Great for this and is safe even for infants)

Antibiotic Resistant Modifiers

"Antibiotic Resistant Modifiers"

TARGET: All Main Systems, 
SURVIVAL: Medicine

There are diseases and illness’  out their that are  antibiotic resistant this means they cannot be treated with antibiotics, simply because the bacteria changes and becomes tolerable to the antibiotic treatment . (in simple form) however there are powerful herbs and I mean powerhouses that are classified as “ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT MODIFIERS”  these are herbs that make the new bacteria non tolerable to the natural properties within the herb this is achieved through anti oxidation process’ and oxygenation process’ that the herbs also provides. Some process’ may, (depending on the bacteria) need to either inhibit or create a calcium channel(s)

Calcium Channels are molecular structures in the body which allow cells to transmit electrical charges to each other through the calcium channel.

Calcium is a vital signaling molecule that mediates muscle contraction, neurotransmission, gene expression and more. There are two main types of calcium channels; voltage-gated calcium channels, which open in response to changes in membrane potential and ligand-gated calcium channels,

Furthermore, Herbal extraction(s) Essential oils, Tinctures, Concoctions with high levels of concentrated enzymes( achieved through forced distillation and or cold infused (Single, Double, or Triple) or reduction methods to achieve a concentrated extraction aid in in coping with methicillin resistance.


A few powerful herbs that are ( but not limited to!!!):

Antibiotic resistant modifiers are:
Please note these are SUPER powerhouse herbs
Garlic: This herb increases both oxygenation and circulation and has the potential(depending on the bacteria to create calcium channels, This is due to the reaction(s) from acylcine which is a powerful antibody itself.
Lavender: for its anti-microbil  and antibacterial properties
Thyme:This her ha a very high O.R.A.C. level to decrease oxidation as well as provide antibodies to defeat the bacteria while confining it to a specific region. this region calcium channels are inhibited to prevent distribution throughout through these channels while also providing a means for oxidation.
Clove: A powerful antiviral,Antibacterial with anesthetic properties to aid in the relief of stress applied to a main system by slowing and or completed defeating the antibody resistance with its anistetic properties
Cayenne: This herb increases oxygenation of the blood while increasing circulation,creating calcium channels
White willow bark Thin and increases blood flow to deliver larger amounts of oxogen when called for by a main system.
Slippery Elm:this herb provides nutritional support while creating calcium channels
Ginger Root: This is a powerful antiviral that to aids in the relief of stress on all the main systems as well as the skeletal muscular system.
Oregano: for its powerful anti-viral anti-bacterial properties ( primary with greek oregano)
Cinnamon: for its antiseptic properties no virus or bacteria mutation(s) can live within the antiseptic properties of cinnamon.
Goldenseal: for the purity and powerful antiseptic properties
Bee Pollen/Propolis: for its powerful and purest form  of antiseptic properties along with the truest and purest unsynthesized form of B complex vitamins ,Enzymes, amino acids and nutrition(s) this is achieved from the cross pollination patterns of the bees during collection of pollen.This alone helps maintain a healthy Central nervous system and immune system

NOTE:
There are other Antibiotic Resistant Modifier herbs within Traditional, Egyptian, Greek,Chinese and Ayurveda Medicine. Which we will begin to get into VERY SHORTLY!!! These herbs date back over 3,500 years with great success.

Herbs for Congestion

Herbs For  Congestion:

Target: Respiratory System

Category: Medicine

Excessive Mucus/phlegm  cause excessive stress on the respiratory system as well as the Central Nervous System.  Excessive mucus build up excretes through an airway passage/opening(s) causing irritation to both nasal and bronchial passageways . Excessive amounts of phlegm or mucus can trigger a bronchial spasm which in tern causes more irritation. The first thing we have to do is determine what is the cause of the Congestion (cold, Flu, Allergies etc) ?

If congestion is caused by allergens then histamines may of been released by pollen or a food or dairy enzyme.  if this is the case we need a herb with anti-histamine properties, and for this particular scenario Licorice Root would be the Herb of Choice taken as a tea. But this herb can effect blood pressure levels if you have a blood pressure problem do not use this herb.

If Congestion is caused by excessive coughing  then their may be a bronchial spasm present, In this case we need a herb with antispasmodic properties; Cayenne tincture is a wonder of an antispasmodic but just 1/4 to 1/2 of a drop of tincture on the tongue or 1 drop of tincture  in 6 ounces of warm water.

Expectorants:
These are herbs that will expell mucus and or phlegm and these herbs must to be used carefully such as anise seed is a powerful expectorant and if taken before you go to bed you will be up all night bringing up mucus and or phlegm  The best way to take this is in a tea form as the heat will aid in breaking up the large amounts of phlegm into smaller quantities to be expelled. When broken up in smaller amounts there is an unlikely hood of a bronchial spasm to become present.

A few Good Expectorant Herbs are but not limited to: 

• Anise
• Peppermint
• horehound
• mullein
• wild cherry
• licorice
• elecampane

Demuculant: These are herbs that aid the mucus membrane with a soothing effect by softening the mucus membrane. As they soften the mucus membrane it begging the healing process.

A few Good Demuculant herbs:

• Licorice:
• Slippery Elm Bark
• Marshmallow Root
• Mullein
• Irish Moss
• Comfrey
• Cornsilk
• Flaxseed

A Powerful Lung Tonic:

• 1/2 ounce Comfrey root
• 1/2 ounce Horehound
• 1/2 ounce Elecampane root
• 1/2 ounce Ground Ivy
• 1/2 ounce of Ginger Root
• 1/2 ounce Cayenne
• 1 1/2 lbs of raw wildflower honey

Directions:
simmer the first four herbs in 3 pints of water for 25 minutes strain over the ground ivy and cayenne  add the honey while hot. allow to cool and bottle.

Dosage: “Adults” 1-2 tablespoons every 2 hours.

Herbal Solutions for Nasal Infections

Target: Respiratory System

Survival: Medicine

Herbs for Sinus Infections:

There are some great herbal aids for sinus infections. Teas are the best because of the steam like warmth provide better purification(antiseptic) as well as creating a greater absorption.  mouth rinses are as well good providing anti-septic, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties

Sinus infections are primarily caused by toxin overload and create a bacteria haven causing excess mucus. This in tern causes a stress on the respiratory and central nervous system and immune system because now these systems have to work harder to maintain a minimal of good health causing tiredness, fatigue, irritability, headache. and cold like symptoms as well as excessive mucus flow. (nasal drip).

The key to helping a sinus infection is to detox the nasal and bronchial passages from both bacterial and viral and microbial properties then to aid in relief of the mucus membrane from excessive drainage of mucus throughout then to begin the actual healing process.

Also it is important to stay away from all dairy products to reduce any additional enzymes that will create unnecessary mucous and mucous membrane irritation(s)

Some Good herbal teas are as follows:

Echinacea/ Goldenseal: anti-bacterial anti-septic
Thyme: anti-bacterial/ anti- viral
Oregano: Anti-Bacterial, Anti- Viral
Apple Cider vinegar:  antiseptic and demuculant
Cinnamon: ( well diluted and in very small doses) Anti-septic
Licorice root: for its powerful healing properties of membrane walls
Lavender: anti-microbial
Marshmallow Root: demuculant will help sooth irritated membrane walls.

A Powerful Herbal Nasal Spray:

For near imediate relive from nasal infections use the following recipe in a nasal sprayer 2 times daily
You will need:
1 tablespoon of dried godenseal root
1 tablespoon of echinacea root
1 cup of distilled water
Directions:
Bring 1 cup of distilled water to a boil in a non aluminum saucepan add herbs and stir well cover and lower heat to a low simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool and stain 3 times through a coffee filter or a fine cotton cloth.  fill nasal sprayer and breath in through each nostril while spraying into while closing the other nostril.  this can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days before a new batch is needed to be made.

For more severe cases add 1 tablespoon of raw wildflower honey into mixture and completely disolve before adding to sprayer ( when adding honey you do not have to refrigerate and the shelf life will be good for an easy 10 days.
Your sinus' will immediately decongest and clear the nasal and upper nasal passages, this is due to the powerful detox and antiseptic properties in the berberine in the golden seal root. The anti bacterial properties in the echinacea will help with any bacterial infections that may be present and in a very mild way aid in strengthening the immune system subliminally.

A few good mouth rinses:

Thyme, peppermint:This will act as a antiseptic while opening both the nasal and bronchial passages.
Apple Cider Vinegar; For its antibacterial properties and healing properties from the present levels of pectin.

A good mouth rinse/Gargle Recipe for nasal infections:

Natural Solutions for Respiratory Virus' in Children and Adults

Herbs for Respiratory Virus’ /Infections for children and adults

Preparing for a seasonal change "Bee Pollen"

Maintaining a healthy Respiratory System:

Preparing for a seasonal change "Cold, Flu's and Hay fever"

First off let me begin with the vitality of a healthy respiratory system. This is so because there is also a vital need for healthy non contaminated oxygen to the central nervous system as well as the immune system. Yes the immune system need oxygen to properly process the nutrients and their delivery to their applicable system. e.g a healthy properly delivered b6 supplement when called thy the central nervous system through a chemical biochemical process also from the liver; This delivery is also supplied with pure oxygen at the level amount is is called for. when oxygen becomes contaminated with neurotoxin an added stress or burden is applied on both the liver and immune systems because they have to work harder during the delivery process to deliver a purer delivery of what is called for. 

In simple form  an infection weather bacterial or viral contaminates the immune systems nutrients because toxins and or neuro toxins are present with the bacteria and virus. Now the immune system and other main systems have to work harder individually and collectively to remedy this.

However there are potent and natural solutions that will work in defeating both bacterial and viral infections. In this post I will be targeting specifically the respiratory system.
God Bless,

The h2o  bound to the molecule once synthesized become a component of the molecular structure. it the molecule is now ready with its necessary composition for distribution to specific and or multiple organs and other main systems 

Once the Molecule has been fully composed of all necessary components ( h20,Vitamin, Amino acid, and mineral enzymes) it know is ready to bind to other molecules in an array format to the infinite. (never stops processing).
