Dear Friends,

If you are interested in learning about natural, organic and safe alternatives to petroleum and paraben-containing health and beauty products, you’ll want to click “reply” to this e-mail, and THEN make sure that posts from MYSTICAL ROSE HERBALS don’t get sent to your spam box.

Our e-mails and posts will introduce you to new-but-ancient ideas that are simple to incorporate into your life to help you stay healthy the natural way!  Simple and pure, straight from the earth, our products and ideas are as ancient as life itself, but as new and unique as they can be.  For example, the base of our “Maiden’s Glow Herbal Face Cream” began with a recipe that is said to have been used by the beautiful Cleopatra herself ~ but I added herbs and other ingredients to the recipe, which were not originally there.  The skin-enhancing herbs are extracted in pure Olive Oil then combined with other all-natural ingredients and whipped into a most luxurious and skin-rejuvenating face cream.  

Is YOUR Face Cream good enough to eat?

Our products are made in small batches to ensure quality and a hands-on touch.  They are unique recipes that you are unable to get anywhere else!

I’m looking forward to hearing back from you right away!

In Good Health ~

Good Day to Stay Inside and Give Yourself A Beauty Treatment!

 Ahhhh!  With our wood stove set up for a nice fire and 5 gallon water bottles at the ready in case we lose power, while I still have light (oh how I do love electricity!), since we (along with most of the nation) are unable to venture out onto treacherous roads, I thought it a good day to give myself a "spa day".    Full Disclosure - I'm not even getting out of my P.J.'s today!

Merry Christmas from Mystical Rose Herbals!

It’s Winter Thyme!

Hello Friends!

 

Sending you best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year from Mystical Rose Herbals!

Giving thanks for the healing power of plants … isn’t it awesome how plants that grow so quietly, sending their shoots up in the spring, gaining in size, flowering and sometimes just as quietly dying off in the autumn without ever even being noticed, have the same healing powers that they have always had since the beginning of Creation?  Use them or not, notice them or not, they are there – ready for us if we need them!  Wishing you peace and hoping you are filled with joy during this holy season!

NOPE! They’re not dandelions!

Hello Friends!

Spring is finally here, but those little yellow flowers that you are seeing growing by the sides of the roads aren’t Dandelions!  NOPE!  They are called “Coltsfoot” – Tussilago farfara is the Latin term, “tussi” being the Latin stem for “cough”.  It’s one of the first wild & medicinal herbs that you can find in the springtime and is used to calm and heal coughs.  Both the flowers and the leaves are effective, but this plant is unique in that the flower appears before the leaves.  The leaves are shaped like a colt’s foot, hence the common name, “Coltsfoot”.

Here at Mystical Rose Herbals we add hand-gathered, Berkshire Coltsfoot self-seeded on our own little herb farm to our very effective and popular Cold & Flu Formula as a main ingredient for addressing the nagging coughs that accompany a cold and sometimes seem to hang on forever.

(NOTE: The leaves growing here with the Coltsfoot flower are NOT the leaves from the Coltsfoot plant.  They are early Cleavers (Galium hed.) that are quite friendly with Coltsfoot.  Coltsfoot leaves will show up about a week and a half after the flowers are finished.)

Check out our picture-story below to see how it’s made!

Let the herbs soak for at least two weeks, strain off through cheesecloth, squeezing tightly to get every last drop from the flowers, and you have your Coltsfoot extraction.  This will keep for years if it is kept tightly closed and out of the sun.  1 teaspoon is the equivalent of one cup of tea.  For stubborn coughs, take 1 tsp 3X/day.

 

 

De-tox Baths – Warm up and De-toxify at the same time!

It’s rainy, cold and dreary here in the Berkshires today.  Want to warm up — and strengthen your immune system at the same time?  How about taking a bath in the Dead Sea … but doing it in the comfort of your own bathtub and without the great expense of travelling to Israel!  Not only do you not have to spend thousands of dollars and travel to Israel to enjoy the therapeutic effects of bathing in the Dead Sea, you can well afford to take this bath often.

Mystical Rose Herbals offers a UNIQUE PRODUCT.  We mimic a bath in the Dead Sea by offering over one pound of Dead Sea Salt for your bath … but to “kick it up a notch”, we add a full half ounce bag of herbs to enrich the specific healing experience of your bath.

By letting the hot water run over the bag of herbs, your bathtub becomes a teacup for your whole body!  Add the tube of Dead Sea Salt and – voila!  You have created a healing bath for yourself that can’t be beat.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od2JekF4FYk

Our unique combinations of herbs are designed to address specific discomforts.  Feel over-loaded with toxins from the holidays? Or maybe you are suffering from a cold or the Flu?  Do you have itchy skin? Under a lot of stress and need to relax?  Muscles aching or suffering from arthritis?  Going to give birth soon?  Just given birth? Or maybe you are suffering from the effects of Menopause?  We address each one of these discomforts individually! 

You won’t find another product like ours!

All the best,

Is it Winter Thyme or Is it Spring Thyme???

Green nettles under a patch of spring snow

Dreary, dreary, dreary!  If it’s not snowing somewhere in the northeast, it’s raining somewhere in the northeast!  It’s hard not to get to feeling like warm weather will never come…

But, harken!  Even though we’ve had surprise springtime snowstorms, some of the plants are nevertheless pushing their little green heads bravely up through the snow.  They KNOW that it’s THYME for their yearly “come-uppance” and come UP they will, regardless of the snow!

Here at Mystical Rose Herbals, we are itching to get out into our medicinal and cooking herb gardens and rake off last year’s dead leaves, to smell that aroma of wet springtime soil that’s just been released to the sunshine and to watch our gardens grow.

Join us on Instagram — type in “Mystical Rose Herbals – Watch My Gardens Grow” to see the latest beautiful surprises that happen in our gardens and in the wild meadows, brook sides and forests of the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts.  Each post also goes to Mystical Rose Herbals’ Facebook page, so join us there, too.  Please let your friends know about it so they can join us in the virtual gardening tours!

Cheer up your day with a visit to our Berkshire medicinal herb gardens — even if you can’t join us physically, you can join us “virtually” via today’s social media.  Let’s use it for more than a personal photo op — let’s use it to take a walk outside when we are not able to actually be there!

I’m inviting you to join me in our gardens and in the nearby field & woods – leave a note to let me know you’ve been there!

Stay healthy,

Jean Pollock, Holistic Health Practitioner

Digestive Aid

Vitamin, Mineral and Antioxidant Herbal Supplement 

 

 

On this week’s episode of our show, Mike, Lisa and I continue our discussion of the  very necessary departure from dependence on factory & processed foods to homemade creations made with ingredients that are in most everyone’s kitchen. The first part of our discussion is about digestion, and how it is at the core of good health.  What foods aid in digestion?  Did you know that homemade stocks are simple to prepare yet are key to a healthy diet?  Homemade bone and fish stocks supply vitamins and minerals in super-abundance!  “Jewish Penicillin” — i.e. homemade chicken stock — didn’t acquire its nomenclature for nothing!

Eating foods prepared naturally and in our own kitchens is not only do-able, but it’s actually quite simple and can be accomplished by anyone — even the most untrained cooks!  On Saturday’s show, Lisa and I give you our own recipes for easy, homemade and super-healthy stocks.

Set your computer clock to automatically join us every Saturday!  The show is aired on your computer at 7:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:30 and 6:00 pm.  http://www.magnificatmedia.com  Mystical Rose Herbals LISTEN LIVE!

FREE SHIPPING ON Your Springtime Liver Cleanse!

 

Haven’t done your yearly liver cleanse yet?  No problem — it’s not too late and a liver cleanse is simple.  Mystical Rose Herbals has formulated a combination of herbs designed to help cleanse and strengthen the liver in its very important job of removing toxins from the body.  To simplify the explanation of how these herbs work to cleanse the liver, think of the original computer game known as “Pac-Man”.   Similar to Pac-Man eating up the enemy, the herbs in our formula work synergistically to attract and eliminate exhausted liver cells & they also help the liver dispel toxins.  Other herbs in the formula help your liver as it re-generates new, healthy cells.

There is no need to do anything stringent while doing the cleanse.  No staying home to be near the bathroom or denying yourself foods.  Simply take our herbal formula as directed and try to cut down on the consumption of alcohol, dairy products and sugars.  The formula will still help your liver if you don’t modify your diet, but the less stress you are adding to the liver’s already-heavy load, especially while it’s cleansing, the better your results will be.

Since Spring is upon us, Mystical Rose Herbals is offering FREE SHIPPING on any purchase of TWO OR MORE 4 oz. bottles of Liver Cleanse Formula.  http://www.mysticalroseherbals.com/herbal-extractions/liver-cleanse-support/

Since this is a special offer, you’ll have to e-mail growingtheglow@gmail.com and list the items you’d like.  I’ll e-mail you in return and we will connect by phone for your order to be placed.

Hurry!  This offer will only last for the first week of springtime!  It begins today, March 19 and ends at midnight, March 23.
