Lamb’s quarter is one of the most common weeds in gardens and back yards.

These edible greens, packed with vital nutrients, AND edible seeds, have been both foraged and cultivated for hundreds of generations.
The nutritious seeds have been eaten for thousands of years in Eurasia, and are currently eaten in Japan, South Africa, Europe, India, and the Americas. Quinoa is closely related.

Lamb’s quarter—also known as wild spinach—is one of the most nutritious greens ever analysed, outcompeting many common vegetables (including domestic spinach) in vitamin and mineral content.

However, it is also high in oxalates, like other beets and spinach, and should, like all things, be eaten in moderation as part of a wider diet.

Lamb’s Quarter has historically been used in medicine for diarrhoea, internal inflammation, stomach aches, loss of appetite, skin irritations, skin health, skin toning and tightening, bug bites, swellings, sunburn, stomach-aches, scurvy, rheumatism, arthritis, toothaches, gout, colic and more.

So add this easy to find herb to your diet, steamed or in soups and stews, and use it in teas and poultices too. What an amazing useful and nutritious herb.

It’s not meant to be complicated to be well.

"I think your magnesium spray might be the only thing keeping me alive at the end of this pregnancy. If I forget to use it I am up and down to the toilet, severe cramps in my feet and calves and my hands going numb and tingly. I wake up tired and groggy and am foul with my kids. If I use it before bed I sleep like a log and never wake up and I feel more vibrant, my kids get more mum time before baby comes along. It’s such a simple thing but it’s actually changing this whole experience for me. I am going to require this in IV form for the afterpains please""

"I love the magnesium and boron spray. I suffer badly from cramp and restless legs and I haven't had an issue since using the spray. I also bought a bottle for my mother who has really bad arthritis in her fingers and she said the spray has helped so much that she now has alot less pain and can actually touch the effected joints, along with the swelling in joints decreasing. Highly recommend this product""

I have a dog with a horrible skin irritation. Your Pet Skin Correcting Oil provided instant relief. In just a fortnight, not only has the irritation subsided, but her fur is growing back. She’s happier and so am I. She's back to playing ball and just looking and acting so happy which makes me happy too. I'm just amazed at how quickly and well this product has worked. Thank you for your suggestion and for your product. I will be sharing with others about this product. I really believe in it."

I have suffered for years with arthritis and bad sleep (I had a motorbike accident) for years I have tried every thing possible. I have taken anti-inflammatory tablets until I got a sore tummy.
While on a hike with family I was shown your Magnesium Chloride & Boron product, I used it with not much hope that it would help, BUT HOLY HECK I sleep so well and my hands and knees felt really good.
When I got home (after the hike over 3 days) I went straight to my tablet and ordered some for myself and its "THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE"
Thank you for these amazing products."

You have no idea how ecstatic I am to have found your Antifungal Balm. I have had skin problems with my right leg dating back almost 50 years from a bad injury while in the army. Your cream is the first to have a major, positive influence. I am so happy."

I use your magnesium oil with most clients and the pain spray for those who have injuries. A while ago a woman who farms came to me for massage. She had terrible varicose veins in her legs, all ropey and bulging but not inflamed. I generally avoid those areas or apply only the lightest touch (lymphatic massage). The following week she came back and there were no bulging veins!! I asked her what had happened and she said she was using your varicose vein spray twice a day. In only a week her veins receded! Amazing product. I now refer everyone with this issue to the product."

I bought cracked skin balm for my cracked heel last summer. The cracked heel was very sore and within 2 days of using this balm the pain was gone. I have recommended this product to friends who have had great results and I bought a jar for my brother for Xmas last year. He has suffered cracked heels for decades and tried numerous products none that have worked until he used the cracked skin balm. Thank you"
