COVID-19, Hot Flashes & Reflux
Dear Patients and Friends,
I trust you are enjoying the fall colors, and the rain being the very best house cleaner for the plants and trees. And, of course, the seemingly endless west coast fire season is slowly coming to an end.
I was hoping, by now, to say it is time to cut back on your immune herbs, along with the Herba Pneu formula for the lungs, but I’m waiting for the COVID-19 virus to finish its chaos and retreat entirely.
The Enhance formula is expected back by the end of November, so in the meantime we are using the AHCC and Bactotox. So far, so good - touch wood.
HOT FLASH SUCCESS STORY
I received a lovely case history, for all of us mature silver heads, when a patient called for her re-order and said her hot flashes have finally gone. Her description: “Great, stunning, remarkable.” The only change we’d made to her regimen was to change the E:V formula to the HerbAdrenal F:S. It was while we were temporarily out of the E:V, which has just come back in again, thank goodness.
ACID REFLUX & INDIGESTON
And, once again, let’s address that burning stomach (Acid Reflux/Indigestion). I’ve just discovered with my own reflux that, yes, the Gastrex and Patic Fe help, but what is quick and rewarding along with that is a piece of fruit to put the finishing touches on it. Honeycrisp apples are lovely, but any variety you like are fine.
Also, a further aid to clearing the bowel, which helps the reflux, is another surprise - I’ve been adding the Frozen Artichoke Hearts from Trader Joe’s to my soups, stews, stir fries, etc. I love these accidental discoveries…
Stay hale, hearty and easy until things simmer down and the calming herbs like Vervain, Calm Spirit and Keep Calm, etc. won’t fly off the shelves quite so fast anymore.
Best to you and yours as always,
Dr. Eve
