Take Advantage of Discontinued & Clearance Racks in your Healh Food Stores!

Don't sleep on your local Health Food store's discontinued and clearance rack! If it is anything like mines they keep this shelf at the very bottom, almost out of sight unless you know where it is and accidentally run across it. I was blessed to have gotten a few healing tonics for only $1.99 each and I was also able to get some Hemp Protein Powder (used mostly in my green/fruit smoothies- that's the only way I can bear the taste) for a Fraction of the normal cost!

Organic Hemp Protein Powder


Healing Tonics


I apologize for the quality of my camera, it is not the best but hopefully you get the gist of what is being shown. Below, I will post some of the health benefits associated with each Tonic!

Motherwort: Reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and other diseases, prevents low blood sugar, vertigo, and headaches. If you are a mother expecting, Motherwort is excellent to promote the flow of breasts milk and has been known to reduce the risk of postpartum depression.

Calendula: Good for treating minor cuts and wounds, skin problems such as eczema and boils, it is also great at helping to fight fevers.

Red Raspberry Leaf: Has long been used by women to help ease pain during childbirth. It also helps to promote healthy skin and bone development in babies. Great to use to help alleviate or eliminate PMS symptoms in women, it can also help to relieve diarrhea.

Skullcap: Often used to eliminate anxiety accompanied with worry, insomnia and headaches. Also good for those suffering from drug and alcohol withdrawals. Traditionally, it has been used as a tranquilizer.

I will just add, it is great to stay educated on alternative medicine, healing tonics, and natural remedies but it is dangerous to think that one will be totally healed and healthy just because they rely on non-pharmaceutical medicine alone. Healing comes from God and sometimes we can put alternative medicine in the same category as pharmaceutical drugs and end up being just as dependent on them, even if they are healthier for the body, let us acknowledge who are help comes from :)

P.S. When purchasing items off of the clearance/discontinued rack *always* check the expiration date to make sure you are truly getting a bang for your buck ;)
