Boldo Extract, 2 oz.
Peumus boldo

Peumus boldo comes from the Chilean Andes and has a marvelous minty aroma. It is a stomachic and digestive aid, particularly beneficial for people with a tendency towards gall stone formation, especially when such conditions give rise to pain. It is also useful for genito-urinary inflammations. In South America, it is regarded as a cure for gonorrhea. Further north, it is considered useful for hepatic congestion and is often used by veterinarians for jaundice. It contains a chemical constituent very similar to chenopodium and is thus often used for intestinal parasites.

Contains: extract of Peumus boldo leaf in organic grain alcohol, distilled water, and pure vegetable glycerin.

Kitchen Doctor, four 90-minute audio cassettes

The energetic system—fire, earth, air, and water—is discussed in this seminar on "Taste and Elements." Every person is born with a basic constitutional type. It is through an understanding of the idiosycracies of the type that proper managment of the symptoms related to imbalance can achieved. Early symptoms are usually non-pathological and relatively easily adjusted through diet and herbs and modest life style changes. Every single thing we do, everything we eat, as well as who we think and feel, affects balance.

Contains: four 90-minute audio cassettes in vinyl album.

Olive Oil, 12 oz

Depending on one's eating habits, oil may constitute anywhere from 15-30% of the total caloric intake (more if the diet is very poor). Nearly all oils are dangerous. They are susceptible to rapid deterioration when exposed to heat (in processing as well as storage and cooking), light (transparent bottles), and air (opening the bottle.) Using an organically grown, cold processed, totally unrefined oil that is bottled in an entirely opaque container will result in a considerable extra expense as compared to cheap super market oils, but without changing a single recipe, the benefits will be enormous.

Contains: certified-organic extra virgin olive oil.
