A NOTE FROM DONNA
++++++++++++++++

This ezine has been sent twice monthly for the past two years.
Recently we've had requests for it to be sent more frequently.
I would consider changing it to three times a month instead
of two if it didn't create a stir within the readership.

So.....I NEED YOUR INPUT! Your desires are what drives me to
create this ezine at all, so I want to meet your needs only, and
that means the needs of the majority of readers.

PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO VOTE:

I want this ezine to be mailed THREE TIMES A MONTH

I want this ezine to REMAIN AS IT IS, and would unsubscribe
if it was changed to three times a month

WHATEVER! I like the ezine and will stay on the mailing list if
it is sent twice or three times a month

Just click at https://www.theherbsplace.com/contactform.html and let
us know your wishes.

I try to be sensitive to the requests of the readers, so this is the
best way for me to decide what your desires, as a group, really
are. Thanks for participating!

Happy Easter! Have a grand week!
Donna

IRRITABLE BOWEL & PEPPERMINT OIL

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is painful and often debilitating,
affecting thousands of people. This disease is characterized by
intestinal cramping, bloating, indigestion, and stomach pain.
For some there is diarrhea; for others, constipation. Many
alternate between the two.

It has long been thought that IBS is caused by stress.
Researchers now believe that stress makes IBS worse, but
people who have IBS have a more sensitive colon.

This condition has responded well to treatment with Peppermint
Oil. Traditionally used as a treatment for many kinds of stomach
problems, Peppermint Oil relaxes spasms and relieves pain.

THE STUNTED CHILDREN OF ALCOHOL
Alcohol and Pregnancy Don't Mix

Fetal alcohol syndrome is a diagnosis that means a child will probably
suffer stunted growth and facial deformities, attention and behavior
problems, and, in some cases, mental retardation. Worst of all, it's a
diagnosis that's never outgrown; adults with the syndrome will never
function normally. It's also a diagnosis that's becoming increasingly
common -- up six-fold since the mid-1980s. Read more....

PANEL EXAMINES ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES

A new presidential commission is traveling the country on a two-year quest
to determine how to help doctors and consumers sort out what works, what
doesn't, and what's too risky, and to integrate alternative remedies that do
prove effective into mainstream health care. The White House Commission on
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy is charged with determining
how to ensure doctors and patients learn the available evidence - and if
something works, how to pay for it.

CHILD'S FINGERS SLAMMED IN CAR DOOR

"My older daughter slammed the door on Sarah's fingers, my two year old
daughter. She didn't realize it at first as she walked away, so it took
about 20 seconds of Sarah screaming and jumping up and down for her to
realize what she had done. Sarah's first and second knuckles on the fingers
had deep indentations and she was screaming with pain. I used 4 drops of
Helichrysum on them in 10 seconds she stopped crying. There was no bruising
or evidence of the accident the next day. It was amazing to me. The
following week Nature's Sunshine had this particular oil on special and I
ordered the Buy 4, Get 1 Free special to have this marvelous stuff always on
hand. I know it's an expensive oil, but it is sure worth it!" Wendi H.

COLLOIDAL MINERALS

A great way to get your trace minerals! Minerals receive less public
attention than vitamins, but minerals are just as important for our bodies
to function properly. There are currently 15 minerals considered essential
for humans: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, sulfur,
chlorine, iron, iodine, copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, selenium and
chromium. Even if we're eating fresh from the garden, we're not getting
enough trace minerals (unless you're eating organic)....research studies
show they're no longer in our soils due to the chemical farming we've used.

LIFE IS IN THE BEING, NOT IN THE DOING

It's Spring and everything seems to increase in energy. The amazing energy
of the things that are blooming, the housewives who are cleaning, the
gardeners gardening, and the children playing outside. It appears the world
is DOING much --- what about the BEING of life? It's important too.....

muscle tissue of the uterus.

FLOWERS FOR WHOM?

A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him
flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the
owner read the card, "Rest in Peace." The owner was angry and called the
florist to complain.

After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was,
the florist replied, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than
getting angry, you should imagine this: Somewhere there is a funeral taking
place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, "Congratulations on
your new location."
