Expo West...
March has arrived and you know what that means...we'll be seeing many old friends and customers at Expo West in Anaheim, March 6 - 9.
Visitors to our Booth #4636
will be treated to
free samples, book signings and the opportunity to win fantastic prizes. Come check out our amazing formula
s.
This is a great opportunity to have all your questions answered about our products. We've had people ask about the differences between our
4
Bitters formulas and we're happy to explain how to choose the right one.
Book signings with David Winston
, and
"Build Your Herbal Library"
basket giveaways will
take place Thursday & Friday 2-3 pm.
Saturday at noon we'll do the drawing for a new
Kindle Fire HD10 with Alexa.
We are sponsoring the
AHPA-ABC HerbWalk, held the day before Expo West starts,
March 6th from 1PM-5PM.
David Winston and other renowned herbalists will lead small groups through the Fullerton Arboretum's 26-acre botanical garden, describing the culinary, medicinal and traditional uses of the plants you see. Sign up for the
HerbWalk using the "
Add à la Carte Options" link when you
register.

We're getting ready to launch our new website, and as anyone who has redone their website knows, it's a lot of work, but worth it. We're especially excited about new user-friendly enhancements, such as being able to set up an account, and view past orders. We'll also be taking PayPal.
Look for a special email blast upon lift off!

David Winston's Students: Where Are They Now?
For each newsletter we interview one of David Winston's former s
tudents to find out what motivated them to learn about herbal medicine and how they
are usin
g their training.
This interview we visit with the energetic
Master Herbalist Sara-Chana Silverstein,
RH (AHG). Sara-Chana spends much of her time teaching women about the use of complementary medicine, a practice which integrates alternative and conventional medicines. She shows her clients how using herbs can help them become emotionally and physically stronger.

David Winston has been writing and teaching about adaptogens since before they were all the rage, and our customers can attest that his formulas are unparalleled. His comprehensive book Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina and Stress Relief, co-written with Steven Maimes, published in 2007, was far ahead of the trend and considered one of the definitive information sources on the topic.
We're happy to announce that David is hard at work updating this stellar book, slated to be out next winter.

Clarifying Damp, Dry, Hot, Cold
Lately we've gotten questions about how to choose the right one of our different Lung Relief™
formulas. Matching the energetics of an herb to the respiratory condition will make all the difference. For example: an herb that is energetically cool and moist when used on a cold damp condition will exacerbate the condition.
So, knowing a lung condition is cold and damp, one would want to use herbs that are energetically war
ming and drying.
Lung Relief formulas are targeted, so to select the best one, identify which is closest to meeting the individual's needs.
Here's what to look for:
Damp: runny nose, excess muco
us
Dry: little or no discharge or mucous
Cold: mucous is clear or white, no fever, person feels cold
Hot: yellow, green or bloody mucous, person feels hot or has fever

Thank you to Vitamin Retailer magazine for featuring our Metabolic Support™ Formula in a recent issue!
