Description: Hello Everyone, Let me introduce myself. I have been a practicing Natural Health practitioner in beautiful Central Wisconsin for 15 years and am a herbalist at heart. Stemming from my love of herbs I have decided to start my own line of herb products, East Fork Apothecary. I will provide high quality, sustainably wildcrafted tinctures, ointments and oils prepared from fresh plant material harvested from our beautiful farm and the surrounding area. Please enjoy the products as they help move you towards a natural way of healing and health. My best for your health.

Thanks.Purslane or Portulaca oleracea is a common plant all over the U.S. A food crop in many countries, but not acknowledged here as anything but a noxious weed. Studies done on this plant found anti-inflammatory effects and analgesic properties with accelerated wound healing when used topically. Also a noted anti-inflammatory effect on the vascular and bronchial systems of the body when used internally. This plant contains norepinephrine and DOPA (a precursor to dopamine) and in animal studies has shown some benefit in neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. Energetically this plant is cooling and moistening.Caution: This herb is not to be taken long term, due to its high oxalate content. Dosages vary depending on use, but I always recommend starting with 3 to 5 drops, 3 to 4 times a day. For many people, the use of natural medicines is an odyssey of learning about themselves. Finding the "right dose" of a particular plant for your body is a lesson and you learn to pay attention to little nuances and signals your body gives you when you have taken too much or not enough. For this reason the dosages on the bottle and website are rather vague. This is to help you find the smallest effective dose for your body. Why take more medicine than you need, right! Just like every plant, every person is different. Returns: I am not accepting returns because of the resale safety issue of the products. Even though the bottle caps may be sealed, the stoppers bulbs are soft rubber thus not tamper proof; and oils and ointments are not sealed. Returns would have to be disposed of and that would be wasteful and not respectful of the plants medicine. Thanks everyone. Note: The above information is for educational purposes only.
