Single Herbs

Single herbs are a potent source of nutrients and antioxidants that promote healing in a short period of time.  Most have anticarcinogenic properties.  Some heavy weights like astragalus, boswellia, medicinal mushrooms, bilberry, cayenne, ginger, and garlic (to name just a few) have been shown in studies to facilitate apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells, while protecting healthy cells.

Our customers’ safety and well-being are always our top priority.  Remember to check labels for contraindications and consult your pharmacist if you take prescription medications. 😊
