Favorite Herbal Formulas for the Holidays
The madness continues... the holiday season! Joy, peace and health to us all. May this truly be a Christmas or Hanukkah of the heart, may family affairs be “functional”, may the airport and car traffic be kind, and may you have time for the occasional cat nap as illustrated by trainers Ilse and Guido - see photo at left.
Every year at this time, I think there’s a quiet time coming up at work for me since health food is not generally planned into the holiday menu. I make plans to paint my toenails and have my eyebrows bleached the same shade of gray as my hair. However, mostly I find that it gets busier. It is a difficult time for many of us, all jokes aside. Old memories, too much money spent that we don’t have, too many family “encounters” and the wrong color socks to return on “Boxing Day”.
Use Your Herbs to Help You Get Through the Holidays
Don’t feel that since you are off the diet anyway, that there’s no point in taking them. Your herbs will help keep your immunity strong so that you don’t get sick. There are finer bedroom activities over the holidays than coughing, spluttering and blowing your nose. They will also help you digest those dinners reminiscent of Henry VIII and his entourage. And the herbs will do this without the side effects that can occur with anti-biotics, antacids and prescription mood elevators.Here is a list of favorite herbal formulas you might need over the holidays - if you're not sure, use the FREE CONSULTATIONS that are still available through January 15th:To assist DIGESTION during the meal: PATIC FEFor INDIGESTION / HEARTBURN / REFLUX after the meal: GASTREXFor CONSTIPATION:
- Mild: PATIC FE
- Moderate: PS:S-S
- Acute: ANTI-GEOTRICHUM or NATURAL HERBAL LAXATIVE
To promote IMMUNITY throughout the season: BACTOTOX / R:I / ENHANCE / AHCCTo ease DEPRESSION or LOW SPIRITS:

Holiday Blues Free Remedy From Eve's Herbs
The end of the year and start of the new one can be a tough time for some. If you are finding yourself feeling a little melancholy, or even depressed, we have a seasonal gift for you.
A Gift of Joy to Beat the Holiday Blues
From now until the end of the year, a FREE bottle of our Joy Blend will be added to all orders over $100 (along with FREE shipping, of course). Use it for yourself, or regift it to a friend or family member who may be feeling the holiday blues right now.
Benefits of Joy Blend
As its name implies, it is a wonderful anti-depressant. It contains my favorite, Borage. In the 1600s, the famous physician and herbalist, Dr. Nicholas Culpeper, said it was "For those who suffer from often swoonings of the heart".The formula also contains St. John's Wort, which has been shown to be effective for mild to moderate depression (holiday blues) by many institutions from The Mayo Clinic to the NIH. Its use goes back to ancient Greece for "nervous disorders". When first discovered, it was used as a wound healer, and since then has also been used for neuralgic conditions and psychiatric disorders since the 1500s.One of our patients, a schoolteacher, orders the Joy, and only the Joy formula, regularly as a maintenance supplement to help keep her spirits up all year long. She had tried St. Johns Wort by itself and in other combinations before, but nuh-uh.The University of Maryland Medical Center also found St. John's Wort effect in improving Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), a type of depression that may occur this time of year when daylight is in shorter supply.We added Motherwort and Cayenne to the formula as well, to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness.Wishing you a Joyous and Healthy Season,Doc EveP.S. - Be sure to take advantage of the FREE CONSULTATIONS which are still available now through January 15th for anyone placing an order.

Kale Is At Its Most Toothsome Right Now - Check These Recipes
This is the best time to eat kale... after the first frost. It is suddenly jammed with its own rich almost salty flavor, quite different from its earlier wan and bland cousins (kale harvested before the first frost).
Benefits of Kale
Kale is great for helping to clear out the numerous Thanksgiving foods that may still be lingering and giving us that bloated feeling.Being a dark green cruciferous vegetable, it is loaded with flavonoids for anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. It's also high in vitamins A, C and K, carotenoids and fiber.Research has shown kale to have risk-lowering benefits for at least five types of cancer: breast, colon, ovary, prostate and bladder.
Dr. Eve's Tasty Kale Recipe
For 4 people, wash two medium bunches of kale - they cook down a lot. Cut off the bottom of the stems and chop the rest into 2-3 inch bits and sauté in 1 TBSP. of butter and 2 TBSPs of sesame oil.Lately, I've been adding a few sun-dried tomatoes that I've marinated myself in chopped garlic and olive oil. Then I serve the lot with either a baked potato or jasmine rice, or any other you like.Me mum, in Germany, used to cook it (after the first couple of frosts, of course) in chopped slabs of bacon. But I'm a bit off piggies at the moment... Let us know what you think (in the comment section below).For another way to enjoy kale, try this: After washing and chopping it into 2-3 inch pieces, throw them on top of veggies that you are already roasting in the oven (just for the last 10 minutes or so). Add a little sea salt and/or pepper and you've got some very tasty Kale Chips.
For More Serious Detoxing

The Thanksgiving Dinner Aftermath
It's time for the Thanksgiving gathering of motley characters we call family and friends to watch football and eat ourselves into a narcoleptic pile on the living room couch.It's a day when no one worries about their diet... not even us.A day when we find fun and naughty ways to enjoy our fruits and vegetables... zucchini bread, yam soufflé, carrot cake, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.So enjoy the food, be thankful for nutty Uncle Fred and Aunt Spooky, the bingo-loving grandparents, your wonderful son and new daughter-in-law and awesome in-laws and have a fun day.
But if Thanksgiving dinner causes stomach upset
...as in heartburn, reflux, bloat or constipation, here are the solutions:
- For REFLUX, BLOAT or HEARTBURN: Use Gentian Root or Gastrex
- For CONSTIPATION: Use Natural Herbal Laxative

Waking Up the Immune System Now, Today
There are three main reasons I, personally, am bolstering my immune system right now:
- Yours truly turns 69 this week, and I have no immediate plans for the cancers to return that I had at 25.
- David and I are volunteering at the local elementary school, helping kids learn to read and, Oh Boy!, are they generous little souls with those virulent schoolyard germs they so gustily and lovingly bestow upon us.
- Lastly, there is gravity exerting its pull – but you know what? That was just a rather unlovely picture that came to mind – I think I’ll not write to you about that after all. Suffice it to say, that it exerts its pull on our immune system (thymus, spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes) too.
Strengthen the Immune System
Hence, my own leg up over the above three is a combination of:
A. The R.I. formula - for immune support and those tender kidneys.B. The Enhance - Chinese herbs for the immune system, especially with persistent cough, andC. The Detox powder, Patic Fe and Gentian Root to keep the plumbing clear for the removal of cooties.Of course, the Colds and Flu Therapy Pack is another option for you as well.A very Happy Turkey or non-Turkey Thanksgiving Day to you and yours,Docs Eve & David and JoeyP.S. - Check out our Facebook, Twitter, EvesHerbs.com blog and e-news while you multi-task cooking the turkey, stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, etc. and considering the vegans, vegetarians, ovo-lacto vegetarians and raw fooders and keeping the peace amongst the lot… Good Luck with that. :)P.P.S. – Try cutting up some fennel into chips for your dips, instead of potato or corn chips to cut some caloric content – fennel aids weight loss.
