Poor bone density is a real problem as we age especially during menopause and many of the medical treatments can really do a job on the digestive system. It seems the medical treatment can cause more damage to the body then the poor bone density itself!

The first thing we do in our clinic is that we address the hormone imbalance itself. We have a hormone replacement specialist for bio identical hormone replacement therapy H.R.T. here on staff at the Botanica west. If you choose to use herbals which are less expensive and doesn’t require blood tests, we have a Chinese Acupuncturist and Native American Iridologist / Herbalist on staff as well. Read more »

We sell a full foot and toenail fungus protocol that works very well, and in  hard times like these days,  its nice to know there is a home remedy that can control and give real relief to even the most difficult cases. It sop happens that most of these ingredients are found among your cleaning supplies, and a jar of cheap petroleum jelly from your medicine cabinet. Petroleum jelly can be found at any 99 cent store as well as bleach and pine cleaning products. While you are there you can get some medicated foot powder, rubbing alcohol and a mist sprayer.

Now granted this is not a natural treatment. And if you have sensitive skin I wouldn’t recommend it. But in a pinch you can use this remedy at little cost.
Now the important thing is to be consistent. You need to soak your feet nightly for two weeks straight and apply the salve every night at bedtime as well. Read more »

What is veggie mass you ask?

Its kind if like a veggie meat/loaf/ protein replacement. You can fill taquitos

with it, make vegetable loaf, veggie burgers, tostada topping, stuff cabbage

and grape leaves you name it. And it’s inexpensive. Read more »

Beans the Magical fruit

I can’t believe nowadays a Mexican girl can’t make a simple pot of beans! And im not talking green beans, jelly beans or lima beans, im talking about re fried beans, black beans, chili beans… Where are there elders! This is a family staple dang it!

It seems every culture has a tradition rich in beany goodness, whether it is fava beans, adzuki beans, black beans, navy beans, mung beans, cannelloni beans…You just need a crock pot and they cook themselves. Once you make them you can make wonderful things from them. We make a pot of beans about every week. Different every time. Its a staple in my daughters vegan diet. For instance a few suggestions below, the ideas are endless. Read more »
