Dr. Christopher's Herbal Aids for High and Low Blood Pressure:

High Blood Pressure:
With high blood pressure, cholesterol and mucus form a sludge within the body. Avoid the mucus-forming foods and take herbs that act as a solvent by liquefying impurities such as cayenne, garlic or sassafras. Take cayenne, working up to a teaspoon three times a day. This increases the power of the heart and corrects the circulation problems. Garlic in copious amounts will bring down high blood pressure. Pure tomato juice is very good as a nutritional and a medicinal herb. Wheat germ oil is excellent for feeding the heart and helps cut the cholesterol and smoothens its removal from the area. Avoid the use of liquor and to***co, do not keep late hours, and avoid over-tiredness and worry. There is an intricate inter-relationship between ones living habits and his body condition. [SNH p.30]

Low Blood Pressure:
More oxygen is needed to correct this condition. Garlic is a good oxygen carrier. One of the greatest aids for low or high blood pressure because of oxygen starvation is deep breathing, which serves as a catalyst and helps the herbs react more rapidly. An immediate increase in circulation may be obtained by the use of cayenne and non mucus-forming foods. Grape juice as well as other juices rebuild and give endurance to the system. [SNH p.35]

Our philosophy is simple: cleanse and nourish to achieve true healing. Blood-purifying herbs are a key part of this process. One such herb—sarsaparilla—has stood the test of time.

Sarsaparilla has long been known for its powerful cleansing properties. For centuries, it has been used to help the body clear out toxins, particularly through the blood, skin, and lymphatic system.

Historically, sarsaparilla has been used for:
* Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis
* Support during chronic or inflammatory conditions
* Traditional treatment for syphilis and other infections
* Hormonal balancing in both men and women

Its active compounds—especially saponins and plant sterols—are thought to support:
* liver function,
* detoxification
* endocrine health

Sarsaparilla plays a supporting role in several of Dr. Christopher’s time-tested herbal formulas, including:
* Joint Formula – for inflammation and mobility
* Hormonal Changease – for endocrine and reproductive balance
* MindTrac – for mood, mental clarity, and nervous system support

Sarsaparilla reminds us that gentle, consistent herbal support can help cleanse and strengthen the body from the inside out. By working with nature—and supporting the body’s own healing processes—we move closer to lasting wellness.

Autumn = Pine Nut Season!

Create connection this season by putting a bowl of pine nuts on the counter - it takes some time to remove the shell from each tiny seed so people tend to gather and talk while cracking shells. Pine nuts (technically seeds!) are tiny, nutrient-dense powerhouses. They’re high in calories, but you don’t need many to feel their benefits. When ripe, they have a soft texture and a mildly sweet, buttery flavor. If you open one and find it dry or bitter, just toss it and try another.

Dr. Christopher called nuts and seeds "little power packs" of health. Pine nuts are rich in:
Omega 3's (brain health, joint function, mood regulation)
Phytosterols (heart health)
Lutein (eye health)
Magnesium, phosphorus, Vitamin K (bone health)
Zinc & magnesium (immune system)
Vitamin B-complex (helps the body convert food to energy)

Pick up some pine nuts and watch how they invite conversation, slowness and presence as they nourish the body and the heart.

Did you know that thyme is used as both medicine and for flavoring food? It is well known as an aid to upper respiratory tract infections, colds, flu, bronchitis, and strep throat. It is also used to improve digestion.

Dr. Christopher valued thyme in the treatment of whooping cough and gave instructions to make an infusion of thyme and use a tablespoon of thyme infusion and a tablespoon of honey, mixed together and given when the cough is troublesome.

Check out this excellent article from one of our graduates, Laura Tsao MH, explaining why it's important to beware of artificial fragrance.

Enjoy this snippet:
You may be asking yourself, what’s the big deal? Why would I go to all the trouble of using expensive essential oils instead of a cheap fragrance that smells the same? The answer is that there is so much more to the idea of scent than simply a pleasant or unpleasant aroma. Every time you smell something, tiny, aromatic molecules of that substance enter your body and stimulate the olfactory glands located in your nasal passages. These olfactory glands are clumps of neurons that directly connect to the limbic system of the brain. Not only does this system transmit stimulants, but it also allows tiny particles of substances to be absorbed directly into the brain, passing the blood brain barrier. Now the limbic system includes the hypothalamus, the hippocampus, and the amygdala, which process sensory information, regulate emotions, and controls of all basic functions such as digestion and movement. This explains why breathing in synthetic fragrances can have such a damaging effect on our overall emotional and physical health, whether we realize it or not. Whatever we breathe in has a direct effect on our brain, which controls everything we do.
