"We have found your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit to be amazingly useful. We find remedies for all sorts of minor ailments in it--and they work! The various salves and tinctures last a long time, too. The card tells us what to use when, which is so helpful. Thanks for putting this together for us herbal novices!" Molly and Jim Brown, Mt. Shasta, CA
"I twisted and sprained my ankle while walking outside on some river rocks. My ankle was bruised and swollen. After massaging it daily with Arnica Salve, the swelling went
down and the pain stopped. Soon I was able to walk on it again. It was an amazing recovery. Thank you Bear Wallow Herbs.” Linda Kerrick, Sawyers Bar, CA
"Recently I was at work (I'm an elementary school teacher in San Francisco) and diarrhea hit me very suddenly while I was working with a large group of students. I took some of the Oregon Grape Tincture as suggested and within minutes the diarrhea was gone! I gave several of the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kits to friends and family as Christmas presents and everyone has absolutely loved them. Thanks Cara!" Dorelle Ball, San Anselmo, CA
“My husband and I had an amazing trip to South America. We visited 5 different countries in 2 1/2 months and had an amazing time. Of course, your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit came along and I was glad to have had the Oregon Grape Tincture with me, since traveling in foreign countries can always upset the digestive tract with the different foods etc. Also, the St. John’s Wort Salve was a great helper for one gentleman who had lost the feeling in his foot
after taking a dip in the Antarctic waters! We massaged feeling back with it!” Daniela Bose, Owner Sereni-tea, Mount Shasta, CA www.sereni-tea.net
“My wife and I started to get some nasty food poisoning symptoms after taking the free breakfast at a motel, but a couple of doses of Oregon Grape Tincture cleared it right up. This stuff is darn near miraculous! I've always had a nervous stomach but this past week it just went totally bonkers on me. I was so full of acid I thought I'd have to go to the emergency room at one point. Fortunately, I remembered your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kitand started taking the Oregon Grape Tincture. It started working very quickly and within two or three doses I was almost back to normal. Even my trusty homeopathic remedies didn't work this time, so I was truly impressed. I appreciate the free tincture, I'm pretty sure it will be another bottle of Oregon Grape Tincture. It's just too good to be without. Thank you!” Don McFarland, San Francisco, CA
"We were very happy to have your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit with us on the trip to rural China. Much of the trip was at altitudes over 14,000 feet. and we were in remote areas. The Elderberry Tincture kept us sniffle and cold free when the weather gave us snow and hail. I was not as prepared for the cold as I should have been. Happily, spring came in the 3rd week of the 5 week trip. The Oregon Grape Tincture kept the digestive system on track amidst a myriad of new foods and some slightly dodgy oils and helped one of us in the other direction for the large amounts of white rice we were served. Arnica Salve came to the rescue for bumps and the Plantain Salve for the scrapes and a piece of glass that got stepped on. I also was having trouble with the smoke from the dung fires. The Elderberry Tincture helped to sooth the cough. We had also brought a travelers' medical kit with allopathic medicines. We tried Tylenol for the altitude headaches, but all of us seemed to respond to the herbal remedies the best. We just used the minimal amount of drops and had good results. Thank you so much for the freshness and purity of the products." Carol Bailey, New York, NY
"I absolutely love the Plantain Salve! This has been the most effective product for poison oak that I have ever used, and believe me—I have used a lot of different products. I can’t remember the last time I went out in the woods and didn’t get poison oak. Now I always keep Plantain Salve with me." Tessa Nosler, Montague, CA
“I cannot thank you enough for the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I purchased the Kit and some other tinctures (to my husband's horror at $62.00 total) because I am into healing myself and my children with natural things. I cannot even begin to tell you all the stories I have about this "miracle" of a Kit....we have saved so much money in the long run, because a little goes a long way. We have used everything in the Kit many times. The Elderberry Tincture of course was the first one gone. I normally am down in bed with the flu for about 2 weeks, but the Elderberry Tincture has made it so I can go to work and still be "mobile". It is wonderful to have and I take it everywhere we go! So thank you so much for your dedication!” Jodi LaCroix, Redding, Ca
"I want to let you know how happy I am with your products. My one and a half year old had a wart on his foot and his pediatrician recommended the standard OTC remedy. Not happy with the standard remedy as it could take a long time to work and has the potential to spread the wart, I researched the web for other solutions. I ordered your Violet Salve as well as the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. My son likes to pick the bandage off his wart, so I was only able to apply the Violet Salve at bed time. Imagine my surprise when I noticed a change in the wart after only 1 night's application! The wart fell off cleanly after only 2 weeks of diligent bed time application. I am definitely letting my son's pediatrician know about your Violet Salve! Also, your Elderberry Tincture has been great at lessening the severity of my sons' cold symptoms. Thank you for making such great products!" Rachel Tan, Queen Creek, AZ
“I burned myself from a splash of hot applesauce. I put St. John’s Wort Salve on the burn and the pain was gone. The burn healed very quickly and left no scar. I’m glad I had my Bear Wallow Herbs' Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit.” Lisa Sams, Yreka, CA
“Thank you so much. I love your products. I first "discovered" them when a friend of my husband gave him an Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I have used the Arnica Salve on many bumps for my children and the Plantain Salve on rashes my daughters get from food sensitivities, all with great success! I have used the Elderberry Tincture to ward off many colds. When my mom was experiencing nerve pain in her neck, prior to her surgery I gave her my St. John’s Wort Salve, she loved it and it gave her more relief than the prescription medication her doctor had prescribed. She went online and ordered some more! Most recently my dad had surgery on his knee. The tissues around his knee are inflamed and causing him pain. I gave him my Arnica Salve, and he has experienced much relief. Thank you for your wonderful products!” Lisa Miller, Concord, CA
“I went to a workshop you offered and then purchased your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit at SolFest in Hopland, California. The very next day when I got up in our campsite I was stung by a bee. After realizing what had happened I remembered what you had taught us the day before. I quickly searched for your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit and consulted the laminated cards you included and found Plantain Salve was a remedy. I was able to apply the Plantain Salve within about a minute and quickly felt the sting subside and the swelling go down. I reapplied the Plantain Salve periodically throughout the day and was amazed at the results. Thanks so much for making this great Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit!” Gil Falcone, Pacific Grove, CA
“I recently visited a friend who lives in Sawyers Bar, CA and he showed me the Bear Wallow Herbs’ Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit he had purchased. I thought it was a handy kit since it is made with all natural ingredients. In fact, I never knew how valuable it would become in the future! Before returning home I purchased a Kit. It was the best thing I could have done! Upon returning home, I found I must have been lunch for a half-dozen mosquitoes and I had a spider bite that had swollen to the size of a golf ball and left a nickel-sized red mark on my shin that was very itchy and painful. I immediately began applying the Plantain Salve several times a day, along with taking the California Poppy Tincture. Literally every day I could see the swelling reduce and the itching pain stop, and within less than a week I was back to normal. I have continued to use the Kit since and am just so grateful to have purchased the Kit! Thank you for making Bear Wallow Herbs!” Michelle Stropky, Las Vegas, NV
"I love your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit! It's very conveniently and thoughtfully packaged, so that I can keep everything together and handy, with the very readable, color coded info cards right there for reference when I need them. Most importantly,what I've used from the Kit really works. The Plantain
Salve worked for some very pesky insect bites for which I had tried at least a half-dozen remedies, none of which had worked. I've been plagued by these bites, which itch, swell, and don't heal for ages. I noticed a difference right away with the Plantain Salve, the itching calmed down and stayed manageable, and the bites are finally healing. But my greatest amazement is the result I got from the Elderberry Tincture. I was definitely coming down with a very bad head cold. All the familiar dreaded nose and throat symptoms, and the feeling of just wanting to stay in bed were there. I remembered my Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I ran eagerly to get it and see what was recommended. I used the Elderberry Tincture. After a first night of real misery, I started feeling much better, and within 24 hours I had no cold symptoms! Gone, the virus driven away by the Elderberry Tincture before it could get established! Much to my relief! Best of all, your product inspires confidence. I feel I can trust your research, knowledge and the love and care you put into making the remedies. Thanks, and keep up the good healing." Claudia Vidano, San Francisco, CA
“I bought a few products from you at the Breitenbush Herbal Conference this summer. The quality and consciousness of those products are exceptional! Well done. The Yarrow Salve was very handy when I received deep wounds from cat scratches on the side of my hands. The inflammation and infection were on the mend, within 24 hours. The Yarrow Salve also took care of any lingering scars. My hands show no visible tale of that incident and are perfectly healed. Deep appreciation and thanks to the Yarrow Devas and Herbalist/Alchemist Cara!” Charmain Newby-Fraser, Cardiff, CA
“I really have to say that the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit been an amazing success. The Elderberry Tincture has helped us cut colds short when everyone around us has fallen ill; the Oregon Grape Tincture has saved us more than once from questionable food while traveling, and California Poppy Tincture has come to the rescue when our hectic crazy lives have us spinning in bed. And the same could be said for the salves. Just the other day, we treated our cat with Yarrow Salve after he had a run-in with a neighbor—applying the salve to a nasty scratch above the eye and it’s healed quickly and with no negative reactions. Your medicines are the real thing-- the way mother earth intended them. We get strange looks from folks when we tell them ‘Don’t take an antacid; get some Oregon Grape Tincture’ or ‘Take some Elderberry Tincture as soon as you feel a cold coming on,’ but we take our Kit with us everywhere. In fact, we reordered because we are headed to Chile for a couple of months and wanted to make sure we were covered for all the adventures ahead! Anyway, thank you for creating these wonderful healing herbs! It’s a shame that so many people rely on products that are false or fabricated. We will do our best to spread the word! Thank you for such great products!” Greg Cummings, San Francisco, CA
“I absolutely depend on your Elderberry Tincture! I am prone to a really bad cold and
bronchitis about 3 times a year. I always have the same symptoms—it starts in my throat and moves to my sinuses and down to fester in the lungs for weeks. I've started taking the Elderberry Tincture at the first sign of a sore throat and have been so healthy since! It’s saved me from many sick days and missed time with friends and family. Thanks!” Jackie Conn RN/BSN, La Honda, CA
“I was in Prague for a festival that happens once every fours years, so I was pretty distraught to wake up the first day feeling miserable. I had the beginnings of a sore throat, stuffy nose, a sinus headache, and general malaise. I suffered through the first day of presentations before remembering I had brought my Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit, and took some Elderberry Tincture that night. I woke up feeling much better-- barely feeling the trace of a cold-- and took it again that morning and evening. The next time I woke up I was feeling fabulous! ‘All better,’ as the eight years olds say. I passed on the rest of my bottle to a friend who had a cough, since I didn't need it anymore! Everyone should know about this, it works so effectively. This stuff is awesome, thank you Cara!” Moe Beitiks, San Francisco, CA
"I LOVE everything in this Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit, I would rather heal my family and myself naturally than by Western medicine. My husband Rob and I used the Elderberry Tincture when we started to feel a cold coming on. We never got that cold! To anyone who is thinking about buying this Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit or any other Bear Wallow Herbs' products, I highly recommend it!! It gets my family's 100% satisfaction!!!"Alisa, Rob, and Logan Perry, Fortuna, CA
“I want to thank you for the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kits. They arrived on Monday great turn around. I tried the Arnica Salve on my back and it really helped. I had thrown it out on Friday and could hardly walk all weekend--put the Arnica Salve on Monday and Tuesday I mowed the lawn and could walk up right.”
Beth Erickson, Paragould, AR
"I have always been interested in herbal medicine but afraid of trusting my skills at making tinctures, so I bought your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I have used the California Poppy Tincture only once and followed your advice to drink lots of water and my headache subsided. Asprin and other over the counter medications seem to cause problems with my stomach and have always shied away from them because what could be worse than having a headache and a stomach ache at the same time. Thanks for your products." Nila Stone, San Francisco, CA
“I haven’t ordered in awhile because haven't been sick. Just want to let you know that once again you and your medicine have done the trick. My sister has breast cancer and is going into very aggressive chemo therapy and I am to be there in 3 days. You cannot be with anyone that is going through the process if you are sick. Two days ago I "knew" that I was coming down with something... that feeling of knowing and I started taking your Elderberry Tincture. Guess what? I am ok and going to be able to be with my sister when she needs me! You are a gift. I want you to know that what you do is very concrete and real and matters. Thanks.” Nila Stone, San Francisco, CA
“My husband and I run an outfitter-guide business in the Marble Mountain Wilderness. Each year in early September we have clients for the elk hunt. During this time of the year it is still quite warm. Unfortunately the poison oak is still rampant. This past season one of our guides came to me with poison oak all over his hand and asked what I had to sop the itching and spreading. I said, “I have just the thing, Bear Wallow Herbs’ Plantain Salve.” He applied it that afternoon and before bed, by morning there was no sign of poison oak. I have my Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit with me on all mountain trips now and have successfully used the salves and tinctures for my family as well.” Kathy Duffy McBroom, McBroom Packers and Guides, Sawyers Bar, CA. www.mcbroompackers.com
“Just wanted to let you know how your Yarrow Salve has been helping me out. I’m assisting the Forest Service while they are fighting the wildfires. All day I am rowing back and forth across the River, moving people and supplies. The Yarrow Salve has saved my stressed hands.” Wally Watson, Somes Bar, CA www.klamathriveroutfitters.com
“I am very allergic to mosquito bites and got a bite that was swelling and itching badly while at a friend's house that has your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit containing the Plantain Salve. I put some on the bite and it stopped the itching immediately. The Plantain Salve worked much better for me than the standard commercial cortisone cream which I normally use or even a cream a doctor had prescribed. Your Plantain Salve is a remarkable product.” Lynn Reichman, Eugene, OR
"I am a new true believer in herbal medicine. A week ago I got a rash on both of my ankles. This rash itches very badly, mostly at night. Since I went to the doctor last year for this, I used the medicine that was given to me at that time. Well it wasn't working, and I was tired of waking up in the middle of the night to itch my ankles, so I decided to see what was in your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I found the Plantain Salve that you said is used for rashes. I started using it and instantly it started to work. My skin is healing up quickly and doesn't itch anymore. I am so thankful for your kit and am a true believer in this Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit." Melanie Ford, Etna, CA
“I got poison oak and have been using the Plantain Salve--it is soothing and helping stop the spread. Also, some friends and I hiked up to Mt Eddy and one friend was really nauseous, she just came from Hawaii and wasn't adjusted to the elevation. I had your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit so gave her some Elderberry Tincture, she said it was almost instantaneous relief. Thank you for making such potent, healing salves and tinctures!”Greta Hanelt, Mt. Shasta, CA
"I love your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit, really well organized and easy to use! I used everything in it--I especially used the Arnica Salve for my sore knees (from many hours of meditation) and the California Poppy Tincture for helping my insomnia (jet lag)!" Lisa Unkefer, Mt. Shasta, CA
“I attended your herbal medicine workshop at SolFest earlier this year, and purchased one of your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kits. I love it! I used the Arnica Salve that day on some sore muscles, and they felt better by the time I'd driven the two hours home. I've also used the Plantain Salve on some insect bites, and the Yarrow Salve on blisters. The tinctures have really been handy. As a preschool teacher, I blew through the Elderberry Tincture the fastest, to strengthen my immune system. The California Poppy Tincture is my other favorite. It helped me drop off to sleep quickly at the end of a long hard day and was great for my menstrual cramps. The Oregon Grape Tincture, too, worked immediately every time I've taken it.” Carolyn Janis, Salinas, CA
“I was sick, really sick with the flu for 6 days. I was so chilled that I wore 3 wool sweaters to bed and they didn't help. I remembered I had your Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I took 20 drops of the Elderberry Tincture. I kid you not, within an hour I completely snapped out of it! I have been telling everyone I know!! Two days later I mowed the lawn (we have a very challenging hill!) and I stayed out to garden another 4 hours! I am amazed! Keep up the great work!!! and Thank you!”Mary Crambes, Chicago, IL
"I met you and your herbs at SolFest. I love the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit. I have used everything at least once. Soon after I purchased the Kit, I had surgery on my eyelids. I used both the Plantain Salve and the Yarrow Salve to speed the healing and ease the swelling and bruising. I found they were the best of all the remedies recommended after the surgery."Lindsay Dyson, Santa Rosa, CA
“I rubbed the Arnica Salve onto my forehead and back of my neck. My sinus headache disappeared! I am very pleased with the quick response of your herbs to help healing. I am very lucky to have found you. ” Carol Botelho, Novato, CA
“I learned about your herbs from the Green Festival. The day I went to the festival I felt like I was coming down with the flu. I was achy all over and felt feverish. I stopped by your booth and tried the Elderberry Glycerite. Amazingly, I felt better the next day and I never got the flu. Since then, every time I feel like I am getting sick I take the Elderberry Glycerite and it seems to do the trick. I only caught one flu in the last year. I've since shared it with all my work colleagues and a lot of them reported either not getting sick at all or not getting as sick. It really is a miracle herb. I don't know how it works, but it works! Thank you!” Jill Sturm, San Francisco, CA
"This summer I have been getting Poison Oak from my cat, who brings it in on his fur. By the time I realize I have been infected, I spread it all over in areas like my arm & upper thigh. At first I washed with the {tecnu) soap to remove the oils and then kept washing with it because it seemed to help the itching. But I realized it is a petroleum-based product and was actually drying and damaging my skin. Then I remembered to look in my Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit and found the Plantain Salve. I started using it right away and it has done wonders. Not only does it sooth the itching, it reduces swelling and redness and heals the skin without scarring. WOW! Thanks & appreciation." Lindsay Dyson, Santa Rosa, CA
"My husband and I decided to hike to the top of Yosemite Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in the US. We knew this would be very strenuous but we were up for the challenge. The hike went wonderful! The most amazing thing I have done thus far…but the next day our bodies were not too happy with us. I realized I had sore muscles that I didn’t even knew existed! We were camping so it was very important to be able to move around and function around the campsite so I decided to take out the Arnica Salve and started to massage it into my legs and feet. It was amazing how fast it started working! Right away I could feel my muscles begin to relax and as time went on it became more apparent. A few hours later I rubbed more in just to make sure it lasted through the day. My husband had doubts about it, but as soon as he saw how quickly it worked for me he tried it and immediately felt the relief. Arnica Salve is a must have for sore muscles!" Vanessa Valiente-Raeder, Sacramento, CA
"I read about your products in Kristin Doyle’s cookbook Therapeutic Chef and thought I would try them. So far everything I've tried from the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit has had great results, from stomach aches, to minor burns, and helping to fall asleep at night. I really like that everything is natural, organic, and made with a lot of care. I've already recommended your site to many people, and will be ordering again in the future. Thanks for everything." Daniel Pegus, Manitoba, Canada

“I used the Elderberry Tincture and Yerba Santa Tincture yesterday because I woke up sick. Today I feel fabulous. My whole life I end up in the ER every time I get sick. When I get sick, I GET SICK, but those tinctures were able to help me out perfectly!” Margaret Mason, Ashland, OR
“I wanted to let you know how I have been doing, since taking your Easter Lily Tincture. I just got through my third period after starting to take your tincture and it has been an amazing transformation with my body! I have practically no pre-menstrual symptoms (ill feeling, tiredness, bloating) and when the period starts it is much less painful and it is over in 2 to 3 days, without any nausea or a sick to my stomach feeling that I used to get. The first period after beginning the tincture was really what got me back on track: much accumulated, chunky stuff got expelled and it took almost two weeks for that to run its course. I understand that such accumulations can cause much more pain and discomfort if it is not removed from the body. Your tincture had taken care of that and now I am not worried what time of the month events are planned or planning future trips, which makes life so much easier! Thank you very much for creating such a wonderful cure for me! Bless you and your gift.” Daniela Bose, Owner Sereni-tea, Mount Shasta, CA www.sereni-tea.net
“I used your Yerba Santa Tincture and I really like it. This stuff really works! It cleared up my stuffy nose and sinuses. I’m so glad you recommended it for me. I gave some to my friend and she really likes it too.” Julie Jeffers, San Francisco, CA
“I had a pap test and exam that showed pre-cancerous cellular changes due to HPV (human papilloma virus), a virus that nearly everyone has been exposed to, but which many people can shake off before it does any damage to the cells of the cervix. The damaged cells were removed in outpatient surgery, but to prevent repeat damage of more cells, I had to kick the virus. Cara recommended Shiitake Mushroom Tincture, a strong virus fighter and immune system builder. I took it for a month, and just as I was finishing the first bottle, I had a pap test that showed I am negative for the virus!” Ally Applebaum, Minneapolis, MN
"Thank you for your wonderful products. I appreciate the time and care you put into your work. We have enjoyed the alternatives that your products have offered. I have found the Horsetail Tincture to be working well on my toe nail fungus. My wife likes the California Poppy and Easter Lily. She is looking to regulate her monthly cycle. I also like the Arnica Salve for sore muscles--it has been great on my knee when it gets achy." Andy, Santa Rosa, CA
"I spent the weekend volunteering at the home of Bear Wallow Herbs this past July. On the full moon night I was experiencing menstrual cramps. I decided to try the California Poppy Tincture and within an hour, my cramps became mild and unnoticeable. Thank you Cara for providing such healing products. For those that are interested in volunteering for Cara, it's an experience not to be missed! Thank you for such an amazing weekend!" Anne, Mt. Shasta, CA
"Goldenrod Tincture has been a lifesaver for me! I have allergies all year long that include itchy watery eyes, coughing, and stuffy nose that eventually lead to sinus infections. Springtime is my favorite time of the year because of the great weather to be able to enjoy the great outdoors! Unfortunately, as soon as spring hits every year I am stuck inside trying to recover from my allergy symptoms. They are so bad that I have no desire to go outside of the house. I feel so lucky to have found Bear Wallow Herbs! As soon as I started taking Goldenrod Tincture I immediately noticed the difference. My eyes are not watering or itchy, I have not had a stuffy or runny nose for weeks now and I can sleep at night because I am not coughing. Right now, during the middle of spring is when my allergies are typically the worst, but they have been so under control and the only thing I have done differently is to take Goldenrod Tincture. Thank you so much!" Vanessa Valiente-Raeder, Sacramento, CA
“I've found Goldenrod Tincture to be very helpful during the allergy season (I avoided my usual 'collapse' that I inevitably have every spring) and it’s been helpful with the occasional sinus headache and bad stomach (too much hummus!).Thank you for your wonderful medicines. You have an amazing gift!” Greg Cummings, San Francisco, CA
“I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but wanted to try a more natural way to control it. I started taking 3 tinctures (three times a day): Hawthorne Berry Tincture, Shiitake Mushroom Tincture, and Yarrow Tincture. Within a week my blood pressure dropped over 20 points! I'm now in the normal range, and I have Bear Wallow Herbs to thank for it! I'm so pleased with my experience, and I am so grateful to have found these wonderful products!" Julie S., Seattle, WA
Thank you so much for making the Easter Lily Tincture. Until I began taking it, I had never had a 'normal' period. As a teenager I was put on the pill to regulate my dangerously irregular periods. After 3 1/2 years on the pill, I took myself off and found my periods were now regular, although extremely painful. I lived with that for over 15 years, then a well-meaning doctor prescribed an incorrect anti-inflammatory which had an immediate effect upon my periods by throwing me back into the dangerously irregular cycle of my earlier years. I refused to use the pill again and began to study herbs as a method for treating it. Over the l
ast 4 1/2 years I have tried many different herbal remedies all with some degree of success, but not what I was looking for. Then I learned about Easter Lily Tincture. The effects were immediate and amazing. I had only very light, brownish spotting for three months when I took the tincture. I took 10 drops 2x a day for two days. On the morning of the third day I also took 10 drops, but shortly before noon I found out I had to leave the ship I was working on and I began packing. I took no more of the tincture until I reached home, a period of several days, but despite that, my period started two days later. The most normal period I have ever had in my life! After only 2 1/2 days on the tincture! It wasn't heavy, it wasn't light, it wasn't painful, it was just the way it was meant to be. And it only lasted 5 days! Yesterday, my second period on the Easter Lily Tincture started. I have no PMS, no pain, and it is again perfectly normal! I can feel it gently cleaning out my system of all those years of problems. Thank you so much! Lorita Harwood, Sheridan, OR
"I have tried a variety of herbs for an enlarged prostate and have never found satisfaction until working with Cara and Bear Wallow Herbs. I took Saw Palmetto for years but never could detect any change from taking the herb. I took Royal Lucraco which seemed to help some but it seemed I had to take more than I wanted to see a benefit. It became rather expensive and mildly effective. Lastly I tried Beta Sitosterol and saw some change for the positive with that supplement. At first I took upon Cara's recommendation Turmeric Tincture and Yarrow Tincture in addition to the Royal Lucraco and Beta Sitosterol. I noticed an improvement almost immediately with the tinctures. I like being able to sit through a movie at the movie theatre and when watching a DVD at home. I notice improved flow and less frequency of urination. I have eliminated now all other supplements and only taking Turmeric Tincture and Yarrow Tincture. Cara is great to work with; very knowledgeable and a good listener." Ian Rudick, Clarksburg, WV
“When I was on a trip in Montana riding horses for 7 days, I took the wonderful Wild Lettuce Tincture and it worked. At 60 years old, I was able to ride for 7 days with no muscle pain and did not get sore!” Nila Stone, San Francisco, CA

"Thanks for the Herbal Body Care Kit. I am a big fan of the Rosemary Hair Repair Oil. I've never had such smooth hair! It's an easy fix for unruly strands and "bed head". The Herbal Face Scrub smells good enough to eat." Marissa R Jones, Etna, CA
“When I went into my teens my scalp started to flake and become itchy. Regardless of shampoos, over and behind the counter treatments, and other natural treatments, nothing worked. The shampoos and treatments made my scalp worse—I am a very sensitive person. I would scratch and get sores along with flakes. I have long (down to the middle of my back) thick, brown hair that I have always tried to keep healthy and long, but I was always so insecure because of the embarrassing condition of my scalp. My mom gave me the Rosemary Hair Repair Oil and within four days my scalp had cleared up! It has been close to a decade since I had a healthy scalp! I had really given up hope that my problem would ever clear up. Thank you so much!” Margaret Mason, Ashland, OR
"The Violet Salve you sent for my daughter's wart worked just great! It took quite a while, but she wasn’t very good about putting the salve on everyday – nonetheless that yucky thing finally fell off one day. Yea!! Bear Wallow Herbs to the rescue again." Debbie Scott, Yreka, CA www.siskiyoutopia.com
“I know I said I would wait a month to update you, but I am absolutely glowing this morning. I have had mild to moderate acne my whole adolescent and adult life. I have tried everything: seen many dermatologists, Tetracycline, Retin-A. I have never had anything truly help my skin and had nearly lost faith that anything could help. Last night I used Plantain Salve on my face and, oh my goddess, I woke up with nearly no redness, well established blemishes disappeared, and the softest skin I ever remember seeing on my face! This seems to be a miracle! I have a very exciting job interview tomorrow and I just began my monthly cycle, so I was very worried about my face looking as it did. As far as I'm concerned, you have saved me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Krista Strecker, Oakland, CA

"I love your salves! They are wonderful--better than what you can buy in the store. I have used them on myself and my dog. While trimming my dog’s nails, I accidentally cut one too short and it started to bleed. I confidently applied your Yarrow Salve and was not worried about the dog licking off the medicine because I know that it is safe and non-toxic. Thank you for your wonderful loving Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit."

“Thanks for the Arnica Salve that assisted my older-than-I-am knees in a recent challenge, the St. John’s
Wort Salve for the back, and for the California Poppy Tincture that has helped one of our cats through a tender surgical recovery. I am glad to recommend the Herbal Medicine First Aid Kit to my Animal Communication clients for use with their pets. Blessings to your attractive, effective products and their good vibrations!” Winterhawk, Mt. Shasta, CA animalconsultations.com
"I recently was given a tin of your Plantain Salve as a gift from a friend. I have a doberman who had surgery on his back foot to remove a tumor. The bandage rubbed the fur off the outside of his foot and created a hot spot which he proceeded to lick into a gaping wound before I even noticed. I keep him from licking it for a period of time and it begins to heal, then he finds a way to hide from me and lick it open again. I am exhausted as this has been going on for 9 months. One week ago his foot was so swollen, red and tender I was ready to return him to the vet to get him back on antibiotics. Fortunately my vet was out of the office, so I began applying the Plantain Salve every night and wrapping the foot with guaze and covering it with a plastic boot which I taped on. Miraculously he didn't even attempt to tear it off in the middle of the night. During the day I leave the foot uncovered if I am with him and apply the salve. The redness, swelling and tenderness have disappeared and the tissue is slowly healing. The salve completely removed the infection and the pus that was oozing out of the wound. Thanks for creating your company and your products." Cindy Wilborn, Redding, CA
