Wild Carrot Fertility Study 2009
Posted: 17 Aug 2008 12:47 PM CDT
Herbalists Robin Rose Bennett and Mischa Schuler are beginning a two part national study of Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) seeds and flowers. The two-fold purpose of the study is first to demonstrate the effectiveness of Wild Carrot flower and seed tincture as a “morning-after” herb for natural, conscious contraception and second to investigate the effectiveness of wild carrot used cyclically to promote healthy conception and pregnancy.
If you are interested in participating in either branch of this study, please contact Robin at robin@robinrosebennett.com (www.wisewomanhealingways.com) and/or Mischa at wildcarrotherbs@gmail.com (www.wildcarrotherbs.com)
The potential participant form will be e-mailed or mailed out to you upon request.
They are also teaching a class on Wild Carrot at the Women’s Herbal Conference in Peterborough, NH, August 22-24 (www.sagemountain.com)

Herbs To Fight Infection
HERBS TO FIGHT INFECTION
Herbal therapy can be effective and all-encompassing in overcoming many kinds of infections. As anti-bacterial agents, herbs contain powerful natural substances to flush and cleanse the lymph glands, allowing the body to process out harmful pathogenic wastes. Herbs are effective internally in overcoming both acute and chronic infections, and externally as poultices or compresses, to draw out poisons or infection through the skin.
Herbal anti-biotic compounds are also beneficial when used in conjunction with other therapeutic herbal formulas to increase their efficacy, especially at the beginning or acute stages of an illness. Success has been particular in cases of oncoming colds and fever, swollen glands, bronchitis, inflamed lung and chest ailments, heavy post-nasal drip, low grade throat and sinus infections, and “hanging on” infective conditions, where the body can’t seem to “get over” a problem.
Herbal anti-viral compounds have had notable success against the strong, pernicious viruses that cause many of today’s serious illnesses. Severe flu and viral infections such as AIDS, HPV and viral warts are becoming increasingly prevalent and insidious in America, as air and soil pollutants, chemical foods and preservatives, over-use of drugs and generally poor nutrition lower our immune defenses. These progressively virulent viruses do not respond to medical anti-biotics, and many people have been prostrated for weeks at a time, unable to overcome them. Herbal anti-viral combinations have been effective when anti-biotic drugs were not.
Anti-fungal combinations are beneficial in cases of chronic athletes foot, thrush, nail fungus, and persistent vaginitis. Fungus conditions are often caused or aggravated by poor enzyme function, (sometimes a result of too much caffeine in the diet) and the lack of friendly intestinal flora in the digestive tract. Herbs can effectively address both of these needs, with the concentrated strength to remedy the problem more rapidly than dietary methods alone.
Combinations in this section to control infection are effective in the following circumstances and conditions:
COLDS ~ FLU ~ BRONCHITIS ~ SINUSITIS ~ PHEMONIA & PLEURISY ~ SORE THROAT & CHRONIC COUGH ~ CANDIDA ALBICANS ~ ALLERGIC & HISTAMINE REACTIONS ~ THRUSH & FUNGAL INFECTIONS & ADRENAL EXHAUSTION ~ CHRONIC LOW GRADE INFECTIONS
Areas for formulation should include:
1) Herbs to overcome bacterial infection
2) Herbs to fight viral infection
3) Herbs to overcome fungal infections
4) Herbs to help overcome chronic colds
5) Herbs to fight flu infections

HERBAL DEFENSE AGAINST OPPORTUNISTIC DISEASE
Many things in today’s world serve to depress immunity and make the body vulnerable to disease. We call a virus or bacteria “opportunistic” when it becomes virulent and overwhelms a depressed immune system. Most of these infections are devastating and difficult to overcome. The harmful organisms must be neutralized, while the nourishing and vigorous rebuilding of a weakened defense system is developed against continuation and recurrence.
Common cause that lower immune defenses to a drastic level include:
• Heavy use of anti-biotics, prescription or pleasure drugs, infected needles, cortico-steroids, birth control pills, unnecessary childhood vaccinations or travel immunizations. (These often seem to alter thymus gland activity, and it immune-controlling ability.)
• Sexual contact with infected and contagious persons who pass an opportunistic organism.
• Highly stressed lifestyles, demanding too much physical and mental energy, and depleting basic body reserves.
• Poor diet of refined and non-food foods, causing poor cell health and nutritional deficiencies on a wide scale; too many chemicals in and on foods that the body cannot use for fuel or replenishment, and that interfere with normal body chemistry.
• An imbalanced over-acid system that allows disease elements to exist and grow.
• Auto-toxemia through poor waste elimination and constipation.
• Exhausted liver and adrenal glands; general gland and hormone depletion and imbalance.
A high resistance, immune-building nutritional program is necessary for success over opportunistic diseases. They are major illnesses, and must be approached with vigorous energy, commitment and treatment. The intestinal environment must be changed to create a hostile climate for the pathogenic bacteria. The herbal formulas in this section are for the ill person who needs drastic measures – concentrated defense strength in a short time. These combinations represent the first emergency intensive stages of a program to reverse body deterioration. Vigorous treatment is recommended on all fronts.
Combinations in this section for defense against opportunistic disease are effective in the following circumstances and conditions:
AIDS & ARC ~ LUPUS ~ M.S. ~ MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY ~ HERPES ~ RHEUMATIC FEVER ~ MONONUCLEOSIS ~ CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME ~ HPV – ECZEMA & PSORIASIS ~ CANDIDA ALBICANS ~ NEUROLOGICAL LYME DISEASE ~ HEPATITIS ~ PARASITIC INFECTIONS ~ TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
Areas for formulation should include:
1) Purifying herbs to detoxify and alkalize the bloodstream.
2) Liver, organ and enzyme stimulating herbs to stabilize blood composition and deter cell deterioration.
3) Herbs to help rebuild healthy new blood and immune defenses.
