Recommended Use:

Please use each Seasonal Blend during the specified season, as rotating herbs is essential to their conscientious use, nutritional balance, synergistic healing and strengthening effects.  We do not recommend feeding a single seasonal blend for more than 4 months.  We strongly recommend a fresh, whole foods diet for optimal health.  Feed herbs 4-5 days a week for best results.
