which are simmered for twenty minutes) using three parts fenugreek

f Meadowsweet leaf tea or tincture will balance and heal digestive
problems.

root, fenugreek seed (one month on, one month off ), Siberian gin-
seng root, garlic, cayenne pepper, juniper berry, wild yam root, bur-

recognized by conventional medicine as being highly useful. All en-
docrine herbs will be invaluable and individual tailoring by a profes-
