Detailed reviews help other people the most. Herbs can take a while to work, so if you took an herbal product for 2 weeks and then felt an amazing shift that you didn't feel on the first day, that's important for others to know since it can inspire and motivate them so they don't give up too soon. You can review the product based on several criteria, such as how quickly you felt the effects, how much of a dose you took and for how long, if there was any change in your symptoms, any improvements, change in your lab tests, how strong the product is, if an unexpected unrelated health problem went away, etc. Note 1: herbs vary in color from light (ginger, garlic, turmeric) to dark (black walnut) and thus their extracts will also vary in color and in opacity. A little sediment in the bottle is often there on purpose to add potency. If your dropper becomes clogged and won't work, you can gently insert a safety pin or needle into the narrow tip at the bottom of the dropper to unclog it. Tinctures made with fresh ingredients will often be lighter in color than extracts made with dried ingredients. Note 2: your review will not be posted unless you have actually tried the product and read the instructions - there are PAGES AND PAGES of information in the instructions including recipes to help your herbs taste better and frequently asked questions about how the product is used, what the herbs do, what they're good for, and what people experience when taking them. There are mandatory instructions that you should read regardless of how much you know about holistic health, and often there are instructions specific for the product or cleanse you ordered and these instructions could include links to instructional videos on the Dr. Fosters Essentials YouTube Channel as well. Also make sure you download Dr. Fosters FREE Natural Protocols E-book so that you understand why you're sick and why your problems are often related to root causes in your internal organs that are distant from where your pains/ problems seem to be. It also explains the four stages of disease and how your body can reverse them through "the reversal process." It explains the "healing crisis" and why sometimes things can get worse temporarily before they get better. This is critically important information that your medical doctor does NOT know about.

The most versatile essential oil I use, peppermint should be stocked in everyone's medicine cabinet. This is a very pure, very high quality therapeutic grade peppermint oil.

Annoying itchy rash

It is very rare to find a conventionally trained medical doctor who has been using holistic healing methods for decades. These organic and wildcrafted herbs have been clinically proven in Cynthia Foster M.D.'s practice for over 20 yrs. Learn more about Dr. Foster

Note: This peppermint oil comes from the Pacific Northwest directly from the farm where it is grown and distilled. The Pacific Northwest is known for the highest quality peppermint in the country. This oil is steam distilled at low temperature and low pressure to extract many phytoconstituents that would normally not be extracted. The result is a lovely, complex and very rare peppermint oil with many subtle overtones and undertones with additional therapeutic properties that those constituents add to the oil.

It is very common in the industry to triple distill the oil to get a crisper "minty" smell. A lot of this triple distilled oil is sold to the gum and mint industry and smells like a candy cane, but this is not what high quality single distilled therapeutic grade peppermint oil is supposed to smell like. When an essential oil is triple distilled, some therapeutic components can be destroyed. Dr. Fosters Essentials peppermint oil is very unique and rare in that it has been distilled only once - NOT triple distilled. I applied a drop to a rash and felt the cooling sensation for over half an hour!
