Do you remember wonderful world of Watkins Man coming by your home, showing you all these wonderful salves and remedies and other marvelous things? Have you ever wished you could find Watkins Man and buy some of those salves? A good Herbal Healing Salve would be a marvelous thing to have around for all little cuts and scrapes that one gets into around house. Soooooo – what if you could make your own? What if it was “easy”? What if it might be even better than Watkins variety? I'm not really sure what I’d do without my multi-purpose homemade healing salve. I use it on gardening-inflicted sunburns, cuts and abrasions, on martial arts blisters, grandson’s chapped cheeks and hands, insect bites when we’re wilderness camping or gold panning, and dog’s scrapes and scratches. Herbal healing salves are gentle, soothing balms made from natural herbal ingredients. Here’s something everyone can do, quickly and easily, at home, with no special skills. Generally speaking they’re safe to use on kids, pets and people. They are naturally soothing and healing. In this sample recipe, herbally infused oil is chock-full of natural healing powers. Vitamin E oil contributes antioxidants and wound-healing abilities. Tea tree oil (Melaleuca oil) provides anti-microbial, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. And lavender essential oil works it’s magic on burns and adds soothing aromatherapy.

There are many reasons for wanting and seeking an enzyme supplement. These include restoration of proper enzyme balance in our “gut” to ensure proper digestion, vitamin and mineral supplement for our health, and insuring proper nutrition to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Proper and complete digestion is essential for good health. Digestive enzymes, used properly, can provide a substantial benefit to most everyone, especially those consuming a great deal of cooked or processed food. Enzymes may ease bloating, gas and heaviness with meals. Proteases may be beneficial between meals if you have an autoimmune condition or are recovering from an injury or illness. Enzyme-based products are one of least utilized dietary aids, despite fact that their use dates back thousands of years. Many manufacturers may avoid use of enzyme products because their mode of action can be complex, and requires specific scientific knowledge and expertise. Such is actually case in manufacture of Bio88+ (Plus), produced in a government controlled laboratory, under stringent conditions, and using a “double fermentation” process that takes four months from start to finished product. There are other considerations in your enzyme supplement including (see below) whether or not it contains enzymes made from animal sources. If I can just eat raw foods to replenish my stomach enzymes, why would I want to take an enzyme supplement? You could, except that raw food diets are difficult to maintain. Eating raw meat, with danger of bacterial toxins, is not advisable as a means of obtaining food enzymes. Also, amount of enzymes present in raw food is such that it would take many hours to adequately digest food, and raw food does not necessarily contain all enzymes needed. Enzyme supplements are a concentrated form of food enzymes that you may add to any diet so breakdown of food will occur at a faster rate.
