I have wanted to make this post since last year when I first made my own vitamins with my friend Cody. You can find Cody HERE. I took the pictures from her blog to use for today's post.
Our friend Stefanie shared a special formula for making vitamins that she had recieved from a top herbist (is that a word???) in Utah. These are really amazing. I take three every day. I use "00" capsuls.
You mix two tablespoons of each of the following herbs in a bowl. It is beautiful to see all the colors from different plants that are found all over the world, which God has given us to use to benefit our health. (It's not as pretty once you mix them all up, but this is what it looks
(These will last you a LONG time...so factor that in when you see the cost for all the herbs)
(all of the benefits of these herbs can be found all over the internet. These herbs are not guaranteed to do any of the following and are not intended to replace any medicine or perscriptions without consulting to a physician. I am not an expert, but do want to share what I have learned about these powerful herbs and what is helping me to consistenly feel better)
