Herbs & herbal products should be a part of a normal healthy lifestyle & not some quick money making scheme.
We've been in business for over 20 years as herbalists & over 28 years combined with our other services. The Herbal Cupboard is both a FREE learning site as well as income producing with "The PaperLess Catalog". We enjoy teaching people to use fruiting & vegetable producing plants in landscape design. We produce food for our home & donation uses as well as gain added benefits from oxygenated air by plant respiration.
We try to maintain our homes, plant, use our well water to add landscape features wisely in order to conserve clean fresh air & maintain wildlife sanctuaries within our own neighborhood. We "bin ship" whenever possible to save energy. Please feel welcome to browse, shop, ask questions and learn.

We've had an eBay store called The-Herbal-Cupboard that has an expanded item showcase for both small Florida businesses plus my own sourced green vendors. Lastly, we continue to support various not-for-profit agencies with small offerings of items added to their gift shops & we constantly look for ways to generate donate-able income without sacrificing our green philosphies or creating more pollution in the process.

OUR BEST COLD/FLU Anti Yeast/ Reduce Coughing therapy, {that also, oh by the way, tends to help get couples pregnant on occasions!} is called CFAY.

Boost your immune system by taking our Immune, Echinacea, Lemon Balm/Melissa or Astragalus herb/tea/tinctures. Use our Rose Hip derived powder to boost your Vitamin C levels by adding the powder to vinnaigrettes & shakes, as well as stirring it into gravies just before serving, don't reboil or you'll LOSE the benefits!! If you've already caught a bad bug, make sure to see your doctor to rule out Flu or Pneumonia which can KILL you. {How to tell when to go to the doctor...when you blow your nose & the stuff that comes out isn't clear or white...if it is a real color, green, yellow or worse, with little brown pieces, get you to your doctor to get help, this is not an HERBALIST FIX right away}. You can continue to take the CFAY & boost your immune system with the other helper teas, tinctures et al, but you need pharmaceutical help if you are blowing colors. Post doctors visit; try our Pleurish Root, Lung or Breath Free Teas & Tincturs.
I call these three the I "CAN" DO THAT trilogy. We would like you to email us with your results as it will help to fill out my continuing masters' & doctoral research in these areas. These 3 suggestions are the main focus of my dissertation on herbal formulations used as therapies; instead of relying on artificially derived pharmaceutical panaceas. To do that, I need the results of your use of them, emailled over the course of several weeks, months or years. Finding out how well the ideas, formulas & recipes have worked, why they worked & if they didn't work on some people, why that might have happened; helps to refine the ideas & makes them more useful for the greater good. I've always strived to do more for the greater good.
These ideas have been tested locally & long distance; time & time again until people say to me "you ought to be making lots of money with these ideas that work". I wish that that were the case. Especially in light of the new "flu" that might be a pandemic in the making. However, I'd rather give away the formula to save lives & ask for a donation to help continue my studies & my work, than try to make a lot of money in a short amount of fear struck time.
Please be a part of a growing legion of healthier, happier humans and pets & help me to put some numbers in front of these proposals for my studies.
