Xlear Xylitol Sinus Care Spray

Xlear Xylitol Sinus Care Spray

Xlear Xylitol Sinus Care Spray

Get fast relief from dry or congested nasal passages and sinuses with the USA’s leading natural solution – Xlear Xylitol Sinus Care Spray.

Our unique Xlear Sinus Care Spray is a patented combination of an effective dose of all-natural xylitol in a mild saline solution. More than 80% of all infections enter our bodies through the nose. It makes sense therefore, that we do everything we can to help our noses to function optimally. Antihistamines or decongestants tend to dry out the airways and sinuses, making us much more vulnerable to infections. Xlear is a soothing way to hydrate and moisturise the nasal passages and sinuses. The hyper-osmotic effect of xylitol helps to keep the nasal passages and sinuses moist and clean for a much longer time than an ordinary saline spray does.

Most importantly however, the bacteria responsible for middle-ear infections and sinusitis live in colonies  at the back of the nose and the throat. Clinical studies have shown Xylitol to be extremely effective in disrupting these bacterial colonies (also known as biofilm), causing them to lose their adhesive ability. This basically means that the bacteria are dislodged, and washed away naturally. This is the main reason for the therapeutic value of Xlear Sinus Care Spray.

Passion Flower Tincture

African Forest Medicinals Passion Flower Tincture

Passion Flower Tincture

The exquisitely beautiful Passion Flower, Purple Granadilla or Passiflora edulis – is a remarkable medicinal plant.

All parts of the plant can be used – the nervine in the seeds of the fruit are calming and relaxing, especially when taken in combination with cacao (passion fruit and cacao are also ridiculously delicious together!)  The passion flower – and also the new growth tips of the leaves – are a potent aromatase inhibitor when prepared as a tincture in alcohol – and is the tincture that we sell as our African Forest Medicinals Passion Flower Tincture.

Aromatisation and Estrogen Dominance

Aromatisation is when androgen hormones convert into estrogen in the body, creating an excess of estrogen, or “estrogen dominance”.  This can cause all manner of health problems related to high levels of estrogen in the body (including breast, ovarian, prostate and testicular cancers, as well as many less life-threatening, yet still debilitating, conditions).

Estrogen dominance is becoming more and more common the more we expose ourselves to “xeno-estrogens” – estrogens that are foreign to the body, but get introduced via pesticides, plastic food and water containers and air pollution.  These estrogens block the estrogen receptor sites in the body and cause higher levels of estrogen to be circulating in the body.

Breast cancer is particularly common in women due to estrogen dominance – and passion flower tincture has been proven especially useful for post-menopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer.

One particularly distressing condition that estrogen dominance causes in men is gynecomastia, or “man boobs” – and this is also a condition that our Passion Flower tincture can help to reverse or prevent in the first place.

Water Extraction of Passion Flower

If you take the same flowers and leaf tips and make a tea out of them, however, and a completely different effect is achieved – a strong sedative – very useful if you are having trouble sleeping or suffer from anxiety.  As our tincture is extracted in 40% alcohol, this also means that there is a cold water extraction taking place at the same time (the other 60% of the liquid) – so a certain calming and sedative effect can be noticed from taking this tincture.  Less so than a hot water extraction, but there nonetheless.  Sensitivity to this will vary from person to person – but several people have commented on this effect from our tincture.

Other Phytochemicals in Passion Flower

The roots contain psychoactive cannabinoids – as do cacao and cannabis – although they are not as pronounced in the passion flower plant.

Passion flower also contains harmaline, an MAO-inhibitor, thereby acting as an effective anti-depressant as it blocks the re-uptake of serotonin and other feel-good chemicals in the brain, enabling their effects to be felt for longer.

Wild Red Reishi Tincture

Wild Red Reishi Tincture

Wild Red Reishi

We were totally blown away when we realized we had Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) growing wild in our backyard!  What a treat!

A rare find

Wild Red Reishi on our doorstep!

We soon foraged further afield, and although we found a little more, we also found that this mushroom is indeed rare, unlike Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) or Ancient Reishi (Ganoderma applanatum), both of which are abundant in comparison.

Also unlike a lot of the other species growing here, Red Reishi is an annual mushroom, growing on hardwood – in our case, Blackwood, or Acacia melanoxylon.  It seems to favor older trees and loves old stumps, helping to break them down and create new life – but we have also found it growing on living trees too.

Wild reishi products are extremely rare as wild harvests are obviously limited – which doesn’t make for highly commercial products.  But we believe the increased potency of wild plants as well as the energies they absorb from growing in a wild natural environment rather than in a grow-room or controlled outdoor area makes this a precious, powerful product of note – this really is Wild African Energy at its best!

Reconnecting with the wild

The joy of finding Reishi that has grown wild rather than been grown in a hothouse is that it has absorbed all of the energies of the forest, of the weather, of the astrological activity – and we believe that that is what makes it so special, because it is these wild energies that we then take into our own bodies when we drink wild Reishi teas or tinctures.  This helps remind us of our wilder, more natural, less “domesticated” state of being and helps bring us closer to it.

Wild plants also have to be tough to survive as their predators are not controlled as they would be in a farming situation.  As a result they are vulnerable to attack and they develop potent chemical defenses against such attacks.  These chemical substances, if beneficial and biologically assimilable in our own bodies, then become “medicines” to us and can have profound health benefits.

Wild soils also tend to be far richer and less demineralized than cultivated soils and this, too, adds to the potency of wild plants.

Immuno-modulating benefits

 

Reishi will keep the immune system perfectly balanced.

The benefits of Reishi are many and varied.  One of its main benefits is that it is a very potent immune system modulator.  This means that it is capable of balancing the immune system either way – if the immune system is deficient or underactive it will bring it up again; if it is overactive (as in cases of auto-immune disease and allergies) it will regulate it back down.  The ganoderic acids in Reishi help to fight allergies and are also powerful anti-oxidants.

Liver & heart tonic

It is a potent liver tonic and energy booster.  It is used to improve cardiovascular health as it helps to lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol and reduce hardening of the arteries, angina and shortness of breath related to coronaryheart disease.

Stablilises blood sugar

Reishi also stabilises the blood sugar – very beneficial for diabetics/pre-diabetics – and for conditions of fatigue where fluctuating blood sugar levels occur.

Natural cancer protection

Reishi is, of course, also well-known for its anti-cancer properties.  This comes from its stimulatory effect on the body to produce interferon and interleukin-1 and -2 – which are our own bodies’ potent natural anti-cancer substances.  Stimulating our natural protection like this is probably what makes it such a strong protective substance against this disease.  Reishi also reduces angiogenesis – the formation of new blood vessels to tumours.  Reishi has also been shown to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, whilst at the same time building up the body’s immune system, which gets so damaged by these conventional cancer treatments.

Spiritual benefit

 

Reishi calms the mind and enables us to step into self-mastery

And last, but certainly far from least, is Reishi’s ability to bring about excellence on an inner, spiritual level.  It is known in Asia as the Mushroom of Spiritual Potency.  It is an incredible anti-stress herb and has been used for its spiritual benefits for thousands of years.  It is known to calm the mind, sharpen focus and concentration, improve memory, ease tension and build willpower, thus over time building great wisdom.  It is these “Shen” qualities that make it such a revered herb in Chinese tonic herbalism.  People who take a lot of Reishi on an ongoing basis will testify to its peace-bringing qualities – it helps people leave behind damaging habits.

The Supreme Protector

 

Aim HIGH on Reishi!

Reishi is known as the “Supreme Protector” because it protects us on every level – physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally.  When we are so looked after it is then easy for us to soar free and reach greater and greater heights in our lives.

We really can’t speak highly enough of this incredible herb.  Wild Red Reishi is also safe for anyone to take in any quantity – it is totally non-toxic and anything not taken up by the body will be automatically excreted.  It appears to have a cumulative effect in the body so… more IS more!

Dual extraction tinctures

The immuno-modulating effects of Reishi come from its beta-glucans and other beneficial polysaccharides and are extracted via a hot-water extraction.

The adaptogenic qualities of Reishi come from the terpenes it contains and these are extracted via an alcohol extraction process. Adaptogens assist the body in dealing with various types of stress – whether physical, emotional or mental. It is these adaptogenic qualities that make Reishi an effective anti-cancer medicine, liver & heart tonic and blood sugar-stabiliser.

African Forest Medicinals’ Wild Red Reishi Tincture is a dual-extract tincture – i.e. both hot water and alcohol combined – providing the best of both worlds in one single product.

Bottled in Miron

All our tinctures are bottled in superior Miron violet glass to ensure the highest level of protection against degrading UV radiation, thereby ensuring maximum freshness and shelf life.

More about Pea and Hemp Protein powder

Protein is made up of amino acids, there are twenty amino acids that build protein within the body and these are called proteinogens. Adults and children require eight essential amino acids from food as we cannot produce these proteins, while babies require nine essential amino acids with the inclusion of histidine.

Eight essential amino acids and their main functions;

Valine, a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that works with the other two BCAAs, isoleucine and leucine, to promote normal growth, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar and provide energy

Isoleucine , increases endurance and aids in muscle repair as well as clotting, when injured.

Leucine, works with the amino acids isoleucine and valine to repair muscles, regulate blood sugar and increase energy levels. Further to aiding in the production of growth hormones and burning visceral fat

Phenylalanine, required for the normal functioning of the central nervous system, it balances mood and acts as an anti-depressant.

Methionine, required to produce antioxidant glutathione. Needed to produce amino acids, cysteine and taurine, that help the body eliminate toxins, build healthy tissue and promote cardiovascular health.

Threonine, promotes growth by maintaining the protein balance within the body.

Tryptophan, required for production of serotonin, vitamin B3 or niacin, and auxin

Lysine, involved in the production off antibodies for a strong, healthy immune system

Unlike proteins that are derived from animal products, plant proteins do not increase your chances of chronic illness, but care must be taken to combine foods so that the body receives all eight essential amino acids. It is not necessary to eat all essential amino acids in one sitting as the body retains a ‘pool’ of amino acids over a 24 hour period that it can pull from.

Lifematrix’s Pea and Hemp protein powder is a complete protein powder that contains all eight essential amino acids and can be safely used as a protein source by vegans and athletes.

Pea protein has shown to decrease muscle breakdown after work outs further to aiding in weight loss by delaying emptying of the stomach. Pea protein is one of the few plant sources of Vitamin D, studies on the protein have shown that supports heart health by lowering blood pressure further to delaying or preventing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Pea protein can also prevent diabetes and aid diabetics as it regulates blood sugar levels.

A study published by the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition proved that Pea protein is as effective as whey protein in promoting muscle thickness, this is due to its high levels of Arginine, a BCAA that is crucial for building muscles.

Hemp protein boosts immunity and improves fatigue, it is an antioxidant with an ideal ratio of Omega 3 and 6 that promotes cardiovascular and heart health. Omega 6 has numerous benefits and studies have shown that it increases bone density in woman with osteoporosis. Rich in fibre hemp seed powder aids in digestion and removal of toxins within the body. Hemp seeds also have high levels of Chlorophyll which is anti-inflammatory and balances hormones, assists with wound healing along with detoxification in the body.

A source of all eight essential amino acids and Arginine, hemp protein aids in muscle building and repair as well as immune function.

Sfera Garcitrin Garcinia Cambogia

Sfera Garcitrin Garcinia Cambogia

Sfera Garcitrin Garcinia Cambogia

The active ingredient in the fruit’s rind, hydroxy citrate acid, or HCA, has boosted fat-burning and cut back appetite in studies. It appears to block an enzyme called citrate lyase, which your body uses to make fat. It also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may make you feel less hungry. Garcinia cambogia may make it easier for your body to use glucose, the sugar your cells need for energy That’s another reason, besides weight loss, that people with diabetes are interested in it. However, if you’re taking garcinia cambogia along with a medication to control your blood sugar, your glucose could get dangerously low.Some research has found that garcinia cambogia can also improve cholesterol levels, lowering triglycerides and LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) and raising HDL (the “good” cholesterol). But you shouldn’t use it if you’re already on a prescription for your cholesterol.

Sfera uses a patented form of Garcinia called Garcitrin.  It has won many awards for its effectiveness. GarCitrin® is a standardized extract obtained from the dried fruit rinds of Garcinia cambogia and it is standardized for minimum 50% (-) Hydroxycitric acid and minimum 5% Garcinol.

The fat regulating mechanism of Hydroxycitrate (HCA) was uncovered when scientists were scrutinizing different steps of Krebs cycle.

Escentia Organic Neem Oil 100ml

Escentia Organic Neem Oil 100ml

Fights Acne:

Neem oil is ideal for acne prone skin because it clears up pimples and removes bacteria that cause break outs.

1. Neem oil contains aspirin like compound which removes the acne causing bacteria from the skin.
2. It also helps to reduce redness and inflammation.
3. The high fatty acid content in neem oil prevents and treats scar that occurs because of acne and is non comedogenic.
4. It can also be used as a face mask to remove the entire impurities ad tightens the pores.

Relieves Symptoms Of Ezcema:

The root of eczema mainly lies in the genes and runs in the family. Neem oil helps to relieve eczema symptoms but cannot cure the root cause of eczema.

1. Since neem is particularly high in Vitamin E and fatty acids, it quickly penetrates the outer layer of the skin restoring the protective barrier and prevents moisture loss.
2. Its ability to reduce inflammation and heal abrasion soothes eczema irritation.
3. The nimbidin and nimbin compounds and the neem oil help to relieve redness and swelling. It also helps to heal dry and damaged skin.
4. Its antiseptic properties keep infections at bay.

Fights Fungal Infections:

Fungal infections of the skin like ring worms, nail fungus and atheletes foot are quite common.

1. Neem being one of the most powerful anti-fungal agents available in nature makes for a good replacement for the over the counter creams that are available at the pharmacists.
2. The two compounds from the leaves of the neem responsible for this are the gedunin and nimbidol. These compounds destroy the fungi that causes this infection.
3. Tests have proven that neem oil is effective on 14 different cultures of fungi.

Removes Dryness:

Neem seed oil is an effective skin conditioner.
1. It moisturizes the skin so deeply that it can repair prolonged skin dryness as well. It is for this reason that neem seed oil is also used in medicated dryness repair products.
2. Its herbal moisturizing formula gives you a well toned skin that is free of cracks and freckles.

Removes Pigmentation:

Neem seed oil is an ultimate pigmentation killer.

1. It imparts fairness to the skin with a splash of freshness when used regularly.
2. It slows down the production of melanin in the skin. Melanin is the skin coloring agent, which when secreted in higher amounts, leads to pigmentation.
3. Neem oil hampers the excessive formation of melanin. Therefore, it makes the skin fairer by reducing pigmentation.

Making Pet Care Products:

Neem oil is also used in various pet care products. Neem pet care products are helpful to deter ticks and fleas as well as controlling mange, hot spots, scabies and other skin diseases in animals. Neem oil is powerful enough to kill ticks and lice in pets and also prevent the re-occurrence to a certain extent when added to their shampoo. We can also spray this in the area where your pets usually spend time to prevent them from contracting them again.

Making Bug Repellent:

Neem oil is an excellent repellent for a wide variety of common garden bugs including caterpillars, nematodes, locust’s beetles and mites. At home, neem oil can combat ant, cockroach and termite infestation.

Mosquito Repellent:

Add 10% of neem oil to your lamp oil and allow it to burn. The odour which of neem oil from this will ward off the mosquitoes.

Cleaning:

Cleaning the carpets and mattress thoroughly is one of the biggest troubles. You can get the grime off, but then removing the bacteria is the hardest isn’t it? Just add neem oil to your carpet shampoo and spray your mattress with neem oil to remove all the mites, bacteria or fungi that might have made their breeding ground there.

Treat Minor Wounds:

Neem oil can also be used to treat minor cuts and wounds. Mix neem oil and vaseline in the proportion of 1:5 and then allow it to be.

Absolute Organix Omega Pure

Omega Pure is  an especially good choice of Omega-3 for pregnant  and breast-feeding women (DHA is the key brain-building fat for infants): the algae are grown under pristine conditions in ponds completely free of any ocean contaminants like mercury and dioxins or, in the case of farmed fish, of antibiotics and growth hormones. Of course, that makes Omega Pure a smart choice for everyone!

And unlike marine oils which require intensive cleaning/heating in order to extract the fatty acids, the oils in Omega-Pure are cold-extracted, so the quality and bio-availability of the DHA is of the highest order.

Omega Pure will be available in glass bottles of 60 vegecaps each containing 200mg of DHA.

Note: the algae used to produce the DHA in Omega Pure are guaranteed non-GMO.

In clinical trials using the algae oil in Omega Pure, Geppert et al found that vegetarians significantly increased their levels of DHA when compared to a placebo group. They also found a significant increase in EPA levels. In the study, after 8 weeks, DHA levels increased by 161% and EPA levels by 33% in the trial group. There was zero change in the placebo group.
