Nettle Root and Women's Hormonal Health Nettle Root and Hormones: Moving Beyond Nettle Leaf and Using Nettle Root to Support Endocrine Health Most people that have spent time in the forests and woods are familiar with the bite of Stinging Nettle, and many women are already familiar with the therapeutic uses and health benefits of the above-ground parts of the leaf (from the common Stinging Nettle, Urtica dioica). In Western herbalism, the use of Nettle, whether you call it Nettle, Stinging Nettle, or just a nuisance while you’re out hiking, dates back over 2000 years, and has a long use as a top spring tonic (alongside dandelion leaf and root). Stinging Nettle is an important—and powerful—herb that has proven its position in the Western herbal pharmacopeia. Nettle leaves are known to be deeply nutritive as a food (a good source of vitamin A and calcium) and as a tea, able to improve skin, hair, and nail health. Once dried or cooked (even lightly steamed) Nettle loses its ability to

  Facing COVID-19 With Intention—And With Herbal Support Acting with Intention Versus Reacting With Fear I keep coming up with different metaphors to try and better understand, and to better communicate that understanding, what is happening all around us in response to COVID-19. The one that I keep coming back to is   being in a stadium full of people, lighting a match, and yelling fire. You do this and you are going to create chaos: You are going to create a type of fear where people are going to be trampled to death. But it’s not a great metaphor. It misses many important parts. But, it’s the best that I’ve been able to come up with to highlight how it is our reaction to the virus that is going to cause the most upheaval in our lives. As it always is, it is incredibly important right now to take a breath—in fact, take three deep breaths—before acting. We need to be certain here to act with intention and not to react in response to fear. It is not that fear is misplaced or unwarranted

  5 Common Mistakes with Dental Front Office Training (and how to fix them fast) -Virtual Dental Front Office Training Every role in the office is important in a dental practice, but success starts and ends with the dental front office training. The front office represents the practice to potential patients who call in. It’s where your existing patients schedule appointments, and the source of those pesky cancellations, late appointments, and no-shows (who likes those, right!?) It’s also where (typically) money flows in – a critical part of the business. But it’s interesting that we are likely to find the lowest paid and least trained employees in the practice running the front desk. There are formal training programs for hygienists and assistants, but little systematic training is available for the dental front office team. The tricky part is to find a program that fits the vision and culture of your practice, has a proven record, and will be taken up by the front office team with ent

  Much More Than "The Original Indonesian Aphrodisiac" Over the years—through our website and through Amazon—our  Tongkat Ali Extract Capsules  are consistently a top selling product. And for good reason: Not only is Tongkat Ali an outstanding Pro-Androgenic herb, but the Tongkat Ali that goes into our products (either our bulk powder pouches or our extract capsules) is always of the highest quality and integrity. We've long been proponents of using a broad, full spectrum Tongkat Ali Extract. This is because Tongkat Ali is much more than "The Original Indonesian Aphrodisiac." There are roughly 65 identified therapeutic compounds present in Tongkat Ali, not just the single isolate of Eurycomanone, that compound which is understood to responsible for Tongkat Ali's pro-androgenic, testosterone promoting properties. Focusing solely on whether or not Tongkat Ali can increase testosterone and focusing solely on Eurycomanone sells Tongkat Ali short. The herb has mu

 The Three Classes of Pro-androgenic Herbs | RAW Forest Foods The androgenic approach both encompasses therapeutic pro-androgenic herbs  lifestyle modifications (more on this later). And while the approach does breach the levy of simply taking something—whether that be pro-androgenic herbs, other nutritional and dietary supplements, and even pharmaceutical approaches and interventions—this article will focus on the Pro-androgenic herbs. The Androgenic Approach    In short, the androgenic approach is a lifestyle focused on reclaiming, on redefining, and on seeking balance. It is an approach to living where—not finding—but recognizing and nurturing health, wellness, and vitality becomes the top priority. A focus seemingly at odds and diametrically opposed to a culture and society that discourages these very qualities: Health, wellness, and vitality. What Is the Androgenic Approach? Taking the androgenic approach is building a lifestyle focused on health, wellness, and vitality, and more
