Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia)

Description

Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia) Discussion:

A plant that many have never even thought of as being medicinal, although it is! It is native to Nova Scotia, and it is also known as “Indian Cup”. The roots & leaves are used medicinally. It became known medicinally centuries ago, yet science acknowledged it in the mid 1800’s. There are journals written by practitioners that treated Smallpox with a Sarracenia decoction and they found it to be so significant it was suggested to be used more widely. It was reported that not only did sufferers get well within days, but the skin eruptions that come along with Smallpox seemed to completely clear the skin, not leaving pits as it normally seemed to do. This is all stated in a journal written in 1863, although it is claimed that the validity of it being a cure for any disease has never been followed up on.

There are many symptoms that come with Smallpox that it seemed to help resolve like nausea, fever, chills, stomach ailments, and bone pains. The support that it may give with epidemic viral pathogens of long ago may indicate its effectiveness on those of modern times.  It was shown to assist in all complaints, which is stated in the above journal link. It has other potential benefits and is used by others for things such as support with vision, diuretic, laxative, constipation, liver and kidney complaints, whooping cough, shakiness, blood sputum, and pulmonary complaints. (2) Anything that is considered to be diuretic may help to detoxify the body through bodily excretions, such as urine and sweat. Sarracenia is used in homeopathy today.

Herbal Product Variations

Our herbs are offered in the following “Methods of Administrations”: standard tincture, liposhperic (colloidal/oxygenated) tincture, vegetable glycerite, herbal tea, encapsulated, loose powder, infused oil, detox soap, or as topical ointment.

“Methods of Administration” is a term referring to the way herbal substances are delivered into the body. It is ultimately how it enters the bloodstream to take effect. Any herbal liquids is a pre-extraction, meaning the solution is saturated with compounds that are pre-extracted, or already pulled out, which makes them ready for uptake by the body. Digestion is the process that the body uses to pull compounds out of the herb in a manner that then allows them to then pass into the tissues. When using liquids, the work is already done. Sensitivities may actually simply be triggered by the digestive wastes and byproducts that are created in digestive chemical reactions. If those most sensitive eat or sleep, before or after taking herbs, as well as grasp the concept of bypassing digestion, their reactions may become limited to none!

Liquids may be the fastest at pulling pre-extracted compounds in through tissues, including the skin and belly button. Herbal tea contains extracted compounds, previously pulled out by, and suspended in, the liquid. This is also the case with detox soap as well, as it becomes solidified after the fluid has already pulled the constituents out. The most bioavailable (absorbable) liquid base known for internal use is alcohol, which may be enhanced by the liposphere process, making it the most superior method. Sometimes specific compounds can only be unlocked by heat, cold, or both! At the same time, compounds may be more soluble by a specific base. Powders can be more potent, yet they can take longer to be processed by the body, as they require digestion and if encapsulated it may take even longer. Treatment is an individual process and understanding factors such as these may change the game!

Saturation is to submerge your body with herbal compounds on the inside, and it can be achieved by taking our herbs in at least two different variations. It ensures that the active medicinal compounds are present in the proper amounts to be the most effective. An herb’s active compounds are what is responsible for its medicinal properties. Without saturation, herbs may not offer the results your expecting, especially if you are trying to target a resistant infection. Think outside of the box for ways to saturate your body – alongside, or without digestion for those sensitive. The more methods of administration taken, and more frequently, the more saturated your body will become!

We take pride in the freshness and quality of our herbs. Our first choice is herbs that we wildcraft ourselves, as they are of the highest medicinal quality in our opinion. Our next top choice will always be whole plant matter wildcrafted by a trusted source, and lastly organic. We store our herbs in whole form and hand-grind them fresh – to order. Wildcrafting also allows us to include multiple parts of a plant, many of which cannot be found anywhere else! There is a natural synergy that takes place when using multiple plant parts that results in increased enzymatic and antioxidant activity. For example, when you add the flower of the green tea plant with its leaf, the activity can be enhanced by a few thousand percent! Wildcrafted herbs are indicated on our labels by the abbreviation “WC”.

Standard Tincture

Known as a traditional tincture that contains herbal compounds extracted in an alcohol base. Tinctures are known to offer the highest bioavailability (see “Lipospheric” below). The pre-extracted compounds are immediately ready for uptake by the tissues that allow passage into the bloodstream, which is capable of circulating them to the organs.

A single tincture may be taken by placing drops directly under the tongue and allowing it to sit for 3+ minutes. However, if you are taking multiple tinctures this may not be ideal, due to an intensified burning sensation, not to mention the amount and taste of alcohol. We suggest using an equal portion of each that equates a full dose, as specified by the label. Droppers do not fill up with a single squeeze, but a single squeeze is considered as “1 dropper”.

It may be most effective to take your tinctures multiple times daily, as long as the label directions approve. As far as shelf life, tinctures have been found in caves from thousands of years ago that were still chemically active! Alcohol ages. It does not spoil.

Our tinctures are made with fresh Pitcher Plants.

Lipospheric Tincture

A lipospheric tincture is a traditional tincture, as, above that has been put through an alchemical, hour-long, oxygenation process. All information about a traditional tincture, as above, also applies to lipospheric tinctures. To ensure freshness and the bioavailability, keep your lipospheric products refrigerated. There are many terms that refer to the liposphere process, such as “colloidal” and a “microencapsulated”. Not to toot our own horn but we are THE pioneers of lipospheric tinctures, as we have been making them for a decade!

We mentioned above that alcohol bases offer the highest bioavailability. However, a lipospheric tincture offers the highest achievable bioavailability. It results in an instant color change of the solution. Each, individual, extracted molecule becomes suspended within tiny bubble, collided with an oxygen molecule. The enclosed bubbles keep the compounds active longer and it oxygenates our cells. The way the body utilizes lipospheres can be described to be similar to how plants intake naturally collided nutrients from the soil through its roots.

We now have “Herbal & Essential Oil Fusions”, which are our signature herbal blends that contain trace amounts of essential oils, which may pack even more of a punch! Normally, when you add essential oil to water, they float on the surface, separated from the solution. After being put through the lipospheric process, the essential oil becomes evenly dispersed and incorporated in every drop of the solution.

Our lipospheric tinctures are made with fresh, whole Pitcher Plants.

Organic Detox Soap

As we stated above, even our detox soap is considered to be an infusion. When the soap base is hot, it extracts the compounds of your herb of choice. We use the same base as our detox soap Suds~Ease™. Our soap generally comes as a brick but occasionally it may be in the shape of a flower. Soap bricks come in 8 oz. portions. Each herbal soap is scented with an essential oil of the same plant or one with similar medicinal properties.

Our Pitcher Plant detox soap is scented with our Basil essential oil. Click on its name to be redirected to its page for its details.
