We grew them. We put them up for the winter. We used them daily, and gave concoctions away to other people in need of them. My mother was always teaching us. If we were weeding the garden, she would talk about which weeds James & Shoshanna Easling with son, Jeremiah James and daughter, Penelope Jane were herbs and what those herbs could do. She instilled in us a passion to learn and create. By the time I (Shoshanna) was 13, my family started the Bulk Herb Store. Quite a few years have passed since then, and my wonderful husband James and I now run the Bulk Herb Store together. Our son Jeremiah James helps pull your orders. At five years old, Jeremiah already can go outside, gather herbs in the wild and know what they are good for. He doesn’t even know he’s growing into a little herbalist, but he is! At the Bulk Herb Store we provide our homemade concoctions, our experiences, and the tested wisdom of others. We want to do more than sell quality herbs. We want to teach you what we know and inspire you to learn and research beyond that. It is fun, easy, and above all, a great way to keep your family more healthy. Send along your own recipes and testimonies...we would love to hear from you! Learn and Live Well! Look for these symbols used throughout this catalog: Organic: One or more versions of these products are organic. Best Seller: These products are our customer favorites.

C O M 51 ARTICLES YOU’VE GOT WORMS article by Shoshanna Easling I have been trying to write this article for a long time, but I would get so grossed out with my research that I put it off. Here it is, the PG-rated version! Did you know it is estimated that more than 85% of the world’s population have some kind of parasite living inside them? You can get parasites from people, animals, mosquitoes, ticks, the air you breathe, food, and your drinking water. You can get the disgusting little creatures almost anywhere, any time! They need you to survive and multiply. Are you grossed out yet? So what is a parasite? It is an organism that lives on or in another organism (a person, an animal, etc.) from which it obtains nutrients to live, causing harm in the process. Parasites have been linked to almost ev52 ery illness. However, just because you have parasites does not mean that you are sick. Many people have parasites and never know. When your body has a healthy, strong immune system, it can deal with most parasites. However, if you have poor circulation, your pH is off-balance, your organs and tissues lack oxygen, or your immune system crashes, it creates conditions favorable to the invasion and multiplication of parasites. Parasites migrate to the areas of the body where it is not functioning optimally. Often people get a disease, crashing their immune system, thus making their body a perfect home for WWW.BULKHERBSTO R E . C O M • 8 7 7 . 2 7 8 . 4 2 5 7 the parasites. This makes the disease worse. There are over 100 different types of parasitic worms that can live in the human body. They range from microscopic in size to many feet long. Female worms can release 3,000 to 200,000 eggs per day depending on their type. Parasites’ waste make your body very toxic. People with parasites can become under-nourished and weak, because parasites secrete toxins and steal vital mineral nutrients and amino acids needed for digestion and a healthy body. People often end up with issues such as viruses, fungal and bacterial infections, anemia, bloating, fatigue or hunger, allergies, asthma, gas, digestive disorders, nervousness, skin rashes, foggy brains, aches and pains, chemical and metal poisoning, and much more. Most doctors are not trained to recognize the symptoms of parasitic infections. If they think you might have worms, they have to guess what kind you have, and then test you for them. They only test or treat two kinds at a time. You would have to be tested fifty times for all of them (that is, for all of them that they know about)! On top of that, the medicine they give you to kill the worms is very toxic to you. But there is good news! God gave us three herbs that kill over one hundred different parasites: green Black Walnut hull (Black Walnut hull that is still green when harvested and processed.), fresh ground clove powder, and wormwood. These three herbs must be used together to kill the worms and eggs all at once. Black Green Walnut Tincture >> Parasitic infections can cause physical trauma by burrowing into the intestines, the circulatory system, the liver, the lungs--anywhere in the body. Worms can literally drill holes in your organs as they destroy cells faster than cells can be regenerated. A parasite cleanse is required if your body is overburdened with other toxins. Do you have parasites? You may have parasites if you have stomach pain, indigestion, ulcers, constipation, Parkinson’s disease, joint or muscle pain, food or environmental allergies, dermatitis, itching, psoriasis, eczema, hives, swelling and rashes, acne, anemia, fatigue or drowsiness after meals, or frequent infections in the lungs, sinuses, vagina, bladder or any mucous membrane. Signs that a child may be infected with parasites include: blisters on the inside of the lower lip, wiping of the nose, restlessness and grinding of the teeth at night, twitching eyelids, dark circles under the eyes, hyperactivity, bed wetting, headaches, sensitivity to light, and rectal or nasal bleeding. How to kill your parasites There are many studies with various conclusions as to the herbs you should take and the conditions of the treatment. So you need to do your own research and decide what you what to take, but this is what I do: Each day I take black green walnut, cloves and wormwood. Here is what I do for each herb: Cloves Capsules size 00 >> Day 1: I take 1 drop of black walnut tincture four times in a beverage every 4 hours through the day, on an empty stomach. Day 2: I take 2 drops of black walnut tincture four times in a beverage every 4 hours though the day, on an empty stomach. Day 3: I take 3 drops of black walnut tincture four times in a beverage every 4 hours though the day, on an empty stomach. I keep increasing this way until I have taken 14 drops four times a day. I do this 14 days on, then 5 days off, then 14 days on and continue this for the remainder of three months. 877.278.4257 Day 1: I take 1 capsules 3 times a day 20 minutes before I eat. Day 2: I take 2 capsules 3 times a day 20 minutes before I eat. Day 3: I take 3 capsules 3 times a day 20 minutes before I eat. I do this 14 days on, then 5 days off, then 14 days on, then just do 3 capsules once a day for the remainder of three months. continued >> • W W W. BU L K H E R B S TO R E . C O M 53 Continued >> ARTICLES Wormwood capsules size 00 >> Day 1: I take 2 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Day 2: I take 4 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Day 3: I take 6 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Day 4: I take 8 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Day 5: I take 10 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Day 6: I take 12 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Day 7: I take 14 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. I do this 14 days on, then 5 days off, then 14 days on, then just do 14 capsules twice a week for the remainder of three months. Alternative for Black Green Walnut Tincture >> If it is not in season for fresh walnut hulls and I need to do a cleanse, I take Black Walnut Hull powder capsules. If you have them fresh it is always best, but in need, take what you can get. Black Green Walnut Capsules Day 1: I take 1 capsule twice a day on an empty stomach. Day 2: I take 2 capsules twice a day on an empty stomach. Day 3: I take 2 capsules three times a day on an empty stomach. Then I continue 2 capsules three times a day on an empty stomach for the remainder of three months. For Children >> When it comes to kids it can be hard to give them an herbal concoction that tastes bad, and most of them do. Wormwood is one terrible tasting herb. You cannot expect your kids to take it by itself. I like to mix 1/2 maple syrup and 1/2 herb. That helps with the taste. You can also give them a reward when they take it. I wrapped little things up and gave them to my son for the first ten times of taking herbal concoctions. This made him look at them as, “Good things”. Even though it tastes bad, and he no longer gets presents for taking them, he still takes them with a smile!!! For children 40 to 65 LB, I do 1/4 the amount of an adult dose, and only do 14 days on, 7 day off, then 14 days, and then that is all. For children 65 to 90 LB, I do 1/3 the amount of an adult dose, and only do 14 days on, 7 day off, then 14 days, and then that is all. Other things uses to expel parasites >> Garlic, Pumpkin Seeds, Cayenne Pepper, Goldenseal, Sage, Thyme, Fennel, Male Fern, Cranberry Powder, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Apple Kernel, Olive Leave Extract, Apple Seeds, Red clover Blossoms, Vitamin C, Wheat grass juice, Grapes and Grape Juice, Echinacea, Metabolic Enzymes. 54 WWW.BULKHERBSTO R E .

Tidbit on Eggshell and Bone Health 1. Studies have shown that taking eggshell with vitamin D3 improves bone mineral density. Egg shells have been used for the pain, and treatment of all kinds of arthritis and joint pain. 2. Pour 2 cups of hot water over 4-5 crumbled egg shells (free range or organic is best.) Add 1 tsp fresh lemon juice or vinegar. Cover and let sit for until cool. Strain shells off and put liquid in a clean glass jar with a lid. Take a sip of the liquid one or two times a day. Just because it works does not mean you should take more than you need. So, slowly up your doses until pain is gone, but after that, do not keep upping it. Some of us need more calcium than others, but remember our bodies cannot handle too much calcium. 3.

Tips: 1. CALVES FEET • Asian and Latin American markets sometimes carry whole birds and some butchers in ethnic neighborhoods carry calves’ feet. Use 2-4 chicken feet for chicken stock or about 2 lbs. calves’ feet pieces for a large pot of beef stock. 2. ARROWROOT • If you want to make a gravy you can add 2 tbsp. arrowroot powder with 2 tbsp. water to one cup broth. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Add sea salt, and, if desired, other seasonings. 3. SOAK • Let all the ingredients sit in the water for an hour before starting to cook broth. This helps the vinegar break down the calcium. 877.278.4257 • W W W. BU L K H E R B S TO R E . C O M 57 RECIPES & PROCEDURES Making Massage Oil or Salve >> See our salve mix kit on page 28 for pre-mixed herbs, beeswax, and tins for packaging your salve. SUPPLIES: You need a crockpot, mason jar, a rag, 2/3 jar of herbs, 1 full jar of oil of your choice (coconut oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, etc.), water, cheese cloth (cotton sheet or Tshirt will work), grated beeswax, Vitamin E oil. STEPS: 1. STARTING • Making a salve might sound hard but it is really not that difficult. The thing that takes the longest is infusing your herbs with oil. The best way for you to do this is in a crockpot on very low heat. 2. HERBS • Fill a mason jar / full of herbs. 3. COMBINE • Fill jar with oil (coconut oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, etc.) of 2 3 your choice, leaving at least one inch from the top of jar. With your herbs and oil in the mason jar, screw a lid on tight. 4. CROCK POT • Put a rag in the bottom of the crockpot. Put jar in the center of the pot (on the rag). Fill the crockpot with water, one inch below top of jar. 5. HEAT • Keep crockpot on low heat (oil needs to be very hot but not boiling) for 3 days. Water will evaporate out so keep adding water as needed. 6. OIL • As the herbs’ properties release in the oil, the oil will have more color and smell like herb oil. 7. STRAIN • With a cheese cloth (cotton sheet or T-shirt will work too) strain herbs out of oil. Now you have a herbal infused oil. It is great for massage oil! 8. WAX • To make the oil into a salve you need beeswax. You need approximately 2 oz. of grated beeswax for 8 to 9 oz. of infused oil. 9. MELT • On low heat, warm oil and beeswax until wax is all melted. 10. VITAMIN E • Add a drop of vitamin E oil for every oz. of oil. This is a natural preservative. 11. POUR • While salve is still hot pour into your container (widemouth jar, can, etc.) 12. WAIT • Let sit over night or until salve is hard. 13. LABEL • Screw a lid on tight and label with what it is and date. Voila! You have a salve! OTHER TIPS: TOO SOFT • If it is too soft for you, reheat it and add a bit more beeswax. If it is too hard reheat it and add a touch more oil. SALVE • Salve is a thick oil that is used for cuts, bites, burns, rashes, boils, massage, and more. Salves can keep up to five years or more. HEAT & LIGHT • Keep out of light and extreme heat. 58 WWW.BULKHERBSTO R E . C O M • 8 7 7 . 2 7 8 . 4 2 5 7 RECIPES & PROCEDURES How to Make a Tincture >> Check out our tincture mixes on pages 27-29 for tincture-ready herbs. SUPPLIES: You need a glass canning jar with lid, herbs, and vodka. STEPS: 1. HERBS • Fill clean jar 1/3 full with dried herbs. Choose herbs for the desired remedy. You can use one herb or mix a few. (If you want to make a liver cleanser, you could use turmeric, milk thistle, burdock, dandelion, bilberry, etc.) 2. the VODKA • Add enough vodka (any vodka, or rum or vinegar) to one inch above herbs. 3. STORE • Screw lid on tightly. Cover with a dark cloth and put in cabinet away from light. 4. SHAKE • Shake 3 to 7 times a week. You will see the vodka growing darker in color as the herbs break down and make a tincture. 5. WAIT • The tincture needs to sit at least 2 weeks. You can let it sit up to six months but after this time the vodka will no longer extract the medicinal properties from the herbs. 6. STRAIN • When you are ready to pour your tincture you can use a cheese- cloth or a clean T-shirt to strain the herbs from tincture. Holding the cloth with herbs inside, squeeze all the liquid out, then discard the used herbs. 7. POUR • Pour tincture liquid into a colored glass bottle and close tightly with a lid so that it does not evaporate. (If you don’t have a colored bottle, you can wrap the bottle in dark paper or material to keep the light out.) 8. 2-3 LABEL • Label tincture with date and contents. Alcohol tinctures are good for years. NOTE: Tinctures need to be kept in a cool, dark place, like a cabinet that is not used much. OTHER TIPS: NEW MOON • Start making your tincture at the start of the new moon. Two weeks later when it is full you can pour it up. This might sound strange, but the gravitational pull of the moon helps draw out the medicinal properties. RUM • You can use rum instead of vodka. Rum helps hide the taste of bitter herbs. Standard dosage for an alcohol tincture is 1 teaspoon, 1-3 times daily, diluted in tea, juice or water. VINEGAR • You can also make a tincture with apple cider vinegar - with the mother-if you do not want to use alcohol. (The “mother” is the cob-web like formation that develops in the vinegar.) Make it just like a vodka tincture but let it sit 3 weeks instead of 2 weeks. Apple cider vinegar (with the mother) has many amazing properties on its own and mixed with herbs it can make an amazing tincture. Some mothers use apple cider vinegar tinctures with their children. Vinegar tinctures will only last 6-12 months. After making a vinegar tincture, keep it refrigerated. Standard dosage is 1-2 teaspoons, 2-3 times daily, diluted in tea, juice or water. 877.278.4257 • W W W. BU L K H E R B S TO R E .
