How Do You Know if an Herbal Remedy Really Works?

Hey popping in here because I got an email that read " You really have some nerve preying on people with cancer to make money. You don't know if any of those herbal teas really had any health benefits". Now I do not know why the person did not just post it as a comment, that way I would at least know what post they read that gave them that opinion. I was actually pretty offended and it hurt my feelings. It was curt, there was no greeting, no hello, and quite frankly if the person knew me they would know that I am the last person that would be "preying" on anybody.

I was just writing the other day about the recommendation I got to start keeping my posts shorter and more focused on a clear topic in order to promote my Mother Nature To You herbal green teas website through the search engine muckity muck stuff. This post will be easy to keep focused. I wrote in response...

First of all as far as "preying" on "people with cancer", hello, I am one of those people. Although I think positive and call myself a cancer survivor, in reality my doctors have told me I will not be considered "cured" until 5 years post treatment without recurrence of cancer. This is due mainly to the nature of the disease, and ironically the chances of contracting cancer from the cancer treatments meant to save you from cancer. So I don't "prey" on,  I "Pray" for others in similar circumstance.

As far as "making Money" , I have openly admitted in previous posts here in my blog that the past year in cancer treatments has wiped us out. We have been through all of our savings, and even a 401k loan, I am not trying to get rich, I am just a hard working American trying to earn an honest living. I put a lot of care and time into taking care of our little hobby farm that my husband and I love very much, we built our barn with our own four hands:)

In my current physical state it is all I can do to keep up with everything around here. The obvious career path, considering my limitations, combined with my love of nature, my lifestyle, and my green thumb, was only a simple step through my already existing garden beds. So, while I do hope to earn somewhat of a living, I am selling a quality herbal product that I put a lot of care and work into creating, that I believe in.

To the last point made in the email, regarding how I don't even know any of the herbal remedy teas I offer really had any health benefits...
I never made any claim that my herbal tea Better Body Blend "cured" my cancer, I said I think it "helped" me through my treatments.
There are a lot of scientific studies, more and more everyday, that support some of the claims regarding herbal remedies and herbal teas. Claims that have been around thousands of years in some cases. If the herbal teas did not help, then why would the market now be flooded with all kinds of processed pill forms and extracts of the very same ingredients found in the natural plants? As far as "proof", well I can tell you one very major benefit from my herbal tea while I was going through cancer treatments specifically. They helped me poop. Yep, you read that right. Kept me regular as rain. Most cancer patients, due to pain management medications get terrible constipation. The docs always were asking me how my bowels were working, and I always said just fine. Even the docs said it was very unusual to stay so regular, and that maybe it was the persimmon in the tea. I don't know, but it was a definite benefit in my humble opinion.


 Anyway, just had to vent a little:) Its looking like rain for this afternoon and next few days. I am happy for the gardens and my plants, but it is playing hell with plans for baling hay this weekend. Us humans, we're never happy:) We want rain, don't want rain, we're cold and can't wait for summer, and then hot and can't wait for winter:)
Peace Out

Herbal Green Tea : Standing out in the medicinal remedy Crowd

Okay I have been told that if I want my blog, which of course offers links to access my budding herbal green tea shop, to come up in these SEO search engines that I need to focus my posts better. Haha, well anyone that has read my posts is well aware of my tendency to ramble. I may post something titled I wish it Would Rain, and then talk about everything but the weather in the post.
To try to focus each post I am supposed to make a short like "phrase" list of "ideas" I want to get across. So since I am trying to figure out how to get my website, Mother Nature To You Herbal green teas, which are very healthy, to show up in search engines... So what are some key points about my Mother Nature to You herbal green teas that makes my herbal green tea blends stand out from the crowd? What makes my herbal green tea any better than the oh so many others available? Are there even any health benefits or really medicinal remedy qualities that can be obtained from using herbal green teas as a supplement? What would I want potential customers to know about myself? Okay see my list is even getting away from me lol.
Deb's Mother Nature to You Herbal Green Teas is NOT just a redistributor, as many other herbal green tea sites are, ALL of the ingredients actually are grown, tended, harvested and packed by my own hands under my watchful eyes.
Deb's Mother Nature to you Herbal Green Teas NEVER have ANY commercial pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers applied to them.
Deb's Mother Nature to You Herbal Green Teas are 100% Made in the U.S.A., and we have been growing our ingredients on our same little six acres of America for over a decade now. Local grown herbs for green teas means less likelihood that the herbal green tea ingredients were irradiated as well.
I believe in my teas, and I use them myself.
So are there really health benefits to be had? I think so. I am a cancer survivor, so I can use all the help I can get staying healthy. An apple a day keeps the doctor away has been proven to be a pretty accurate statement over time we hear now. Like wise many of the ingredients used in my herbal green tea blends have been used for thousands of years by cultures worldwide as remedies for numerous health ailments.
For example honeysuckle, as noted in a previous post, is most likely the oldest documented herbal remedy. Its use dates back to B.C. Both honeysuckle and clover are thought to help cleanse toxins from the major organs of your body. Both are in Mother Nature to You Better Body Blend Herbal Green tea.
So is Persimmon, another herbal tea ingredient used for centuries in Chinese, and Korean and Traditional medicine, has had outstanding successes in numerous scientific trials, both as a diet and weight loss aid, and for its high vitamin and mineral content, as well as the fact the persimmon leaves are bursting with anti oxidants. All of these are are good things for your body, so can it make you feel better? Can it be considered a medicinal herbal remedy? That is up to you to determine due to FDA regulations, but I would say some herbal teas may have health benefits could be considered a totally truthful statement.
Well, the day is getting away from me, I have been busy picking a lot of mint and lemon balm lately, the room smells so fresh and springtimey back there, coming down the whole hallway smells good  lol:) Must get off, I will try to pick a more fun focus next post.

Seriously research some of the studies regarding herbal remedies, it is amazing. Persimmon leaf, Stevia, honeysuckle blooms, all a part of BBB Herbal green tea, all have medicinal values that are being  supported by scientific studies over and over.
A lot of the problems we have with our normal bodily functions are due to build ups from our overly processed diets we consume. Why get processed herbal remedies as well?
