Today was my day to pick up my niece and I decided to show her and my sister some of the new products we’ve been making. I’m most excited about the tonic version of my Women’s Wellness Tea and the vitamin D3!! The Women’s Daily tonic has all the same ingredients as the tea. It’s super potent and you only need 2-3 tablespoons a day. It’s sooooo easy and convenient to take. 💗

These are my 2 new favorite products right now.

💗The Women’s Daily Tonic is a daily essential. It’s full of nourishing herbs that help support all of the hormonal changes we deal with ALL THE TIME. lol.

💗Uterine Relief is an amazing formula. It helps relieve discomfort from fibroids, endometriosis, cysts and so much more. The feedback from this product has been overwhelmingly positive which means the world to us.

We’ve bundled both formulas together at a discounted price so you can experience the benefits of using them together 💗 @yourherbalhealingco

Just dropped a new Women’s Daily Tonic. This is actually a concentrated tonic version of my Women’s Wellness infusion tea. It has all the same benefits, pms relief, boosts iron, strengthens the uterus, increases energy and grate for ALL stages of womanhood. This tonic version but is more potent and requires no preparation.

Have you ever tried the Women’s Wellness Tea?

@dr_amun.neb and I were debating on who could come up with the best song for a video for the RISE Men’s Tonic. Obviously I won. I mean the song I chose is called “Everybody Rise” lol. You should go to his page and listen to his song choice and judge for yourself. lol.

RISE is a men’s tonic at @yourherbalhealingco. It was created to help boost STAMINA, BLOOD FLOW and LIBIDO in men. Although it was made with men in mind it actually works for women too. I’ve used it and love it plus it tastes AMAZING!

Any fellas wanna try it out??

Sometimes you have to look how far you’ve come in order to appreciate where you are and where you’re going. @ogwizardry always keeps one of his original @blackroottonic bottles close by as constant reminder of the journey. We are so happy to be working together. New orders are going out in record time while old orders are being taken care of simultaneously. Teamwork makes the Dreamwork! Blackroot Tonic, Blackflower Capsules, Purge Tonic are on @yourherbalhealingco. Mija Children’s Tonic coming soon!

Thank you for all of your support. It takes a village. 💕

BLACKFLOWER CAPSULES from @blackroottonic. These babies are made with amazing ingredients like Sea Moss, Estafiate, Calendula, Blessed Thistle, Black Catnip, Damiana, Black Cohosh just to name a few! They support the endocrine system in both MEN and WOMEN! I’ve been using the consistently for the last 5 months and I love them! We put them in stock YESTERDAY and they are almost ALL GONE
-
The best part of the @yourherbalhealingco & @blackroottonic collab is that NOW for the first time ever you can get @blackroottonic products in just a few days! THIS is what teamwork can do.
-

So excited to be working with @blackroottonic. Our new @yourherbalhealingco & @blackroottonic collaboration means that NOW you can get the infamous Blackroot Tonic, Black Purge Tonic & Blackflower Capsules in 2-3 business days! If you have used @ogwizardry @blackroottonic in the past you already know it IS THE TRUTH and it has helped heal sooooo many people!
-
There is no I in TEAM. Working together is OUR greatest strength! Teamwork makes the Dreamwork!

What a privilege it must be to NOT have the burden of fear of murder looming over you, your loved ones, and community. What an even bigger privilege it must be knowing that you can also avoid accountability….The deep empathy I feel for Sonya, her son, her family, her community, OUR COMMUNITY. I’m tired of this Shit!! #sonya

The often imitated but NEVER DUPLICATED Parasite Cleanse. I created this formula almost a decade ago and it has stood the test of time. The ONLY thing that has changed is the packaging! You wouldn’t believe how many times people (I won’t expose any names 👀) have tried to steal my formulas and content and sell it as their own but that’s a different story for a different day!

The proper way to prepare your parasite cleanse is to make an herbal infusion and not herbal tea. A herbal infusion is made with a larger quantity of herbs that are steeped in hot water for 4-8 hours. This produces a stronger, more potent drink that is far more rich in medicinal properties than your average cup of tea. You can use this method to maximize the medicinal properties of lots of herbs like nettle, dandelion, lemon balm etc.

When it comes to parasite cleansing in particular, herbal infusions are extremely effective. I recommend cleansing at least once a year to help flush out parasite, yeast, toxins and waste…..but be warned, this cleanse IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. It’s extremely bitter and will have you on the toilet but it WORKS!

We will be launching a few new products soon and will be looking to create a test group. Let me know if you’re interested by dropping a comment.

The latest product packaging update! Some of you may even remember the VERY FIRST iteration of my products. They were literally in regular ziplock bags. I used to hand write the ingredients on to address labels 😂. I’ve learned so much along the way and most of you have been here EVERY step of the way. Through all of my ups and downs and you guys have treated me with so much GRACE and support. I love you all sooooooo much and I cannot wait to tell you all what’s happening next…..

FYI: the packaging may change but my formulas DO NOT. This is the same Parasite Cleanse you all know and love to hate 😆

Heyyy. Miss y’all. Here’s a peak behind the scenes of making herbal medicine. You would be shocked at the amount of research and development that goes into making each product but the end result is so rewarding. Nothing is better than helping people get healthier using herbal medicine. There are so many amazing products made here: @thedetoxnow @yourherbalhealingco @coachgessie @dr_amun.neb

My god this drink has me in a chokehold. If you love Sorrel you HAVE to get your hands on this Sorrel Sea Moss Drink. It’s the best sea moss drink I’ve ever tasted. I got it from @sumtingfitalkbout57 and @dapaflex

I love cooking with my niece but should I be insulted that she said I was “Soooooooo Big? Anyway the recipe for my favorite Vegan Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies is pinned in the comments.

Should we share the recipe for Vegan Biscuits?

Back in the 1700’s when I first became vegan I just knew I would NEVER have steak again. Since then I’ve seen vegan chicken, shrimp, fish, sausages, burgers etc. unfortunately for me they always contained soy, which I am terribly allergic to (it gives me eczema). Luckily, mushrooms are having their moment, especially lions mane, people make all kinds of vegan meat substitutes with them. The only problem I have with that is the fact that I can only find them OCCASIONALLY and they’re super expensive when I do. Good news is that I discovered these vegan mushroom steaks in Whole Foods a few months ago and I’m OBSESSED. They have great ingredients and good macros, if you’re into that stuff. Most importantly it really tastes and feels like steak. In fact it’s giving fillet mignon. It’s tender, juicy and the texture is spot on.

This is how I clean my fruits and veggies. It’s also why I parasite cleanse every year. No pesticides = critters! Just because it’s organic doesn’t mean it’s clean!! Wash your fruits and veggies Great post @doctortim.md <——

Trader Joe’s does it again, but this time it’s with beauty products. Here are a few of my all time favorites. If you know Trader Joe’s, you know they constantly update and change inventory so run don’t walk and grab these. I’ve been gatekeeping these for a while but I love y’all so I’m sharing them, don’t tell anybody😜 Have yall tried any of these? Let me know if you have a favorite that I missed! PART 2 is on my PAGE NOW @traderjoes #traderjoes #traderjoesfinds

Help me wish @whois.issaiah Izzy a happy birthday. You guys!!! Your nephew turned 16 today! He has grown into a phenomenal young man. I am so proud of him. He is a spectacular student with great grades A’s & B’s. He’s a great athlete and had an amazing season. He even scored a 39 point game in basketball. But most importantly, he’s a great person. He’s funny, loyal and has great discernment. I know most of you can remember him at just 7 years old! Look at him now!! Love you boo. @whois.issaiah

Most of you already know about my passion for herbal medicine but what you may not know is that I often rotate my supplements depending on what I feel like my body needs. Recently, I’ve experienced so many highs and lows. From the sudden loss of my sister UDY, challenges with business, traveling excessively and dealing with a ton of stress. These supplements have been life savers for me:

Parasite Cleanse - This is a tincture version of my loose leaf Parasite Cleanse that I’ve been using for years. The liquid version is my go to. I love that it’s under 3 oz. And I can travel with it and use it anytime. I just add a dropper to a small glass of water and go. It’s made with the same bitter herbs as my tea and does a great job of keeping any unwanted parasites, yeast, candida and waste out of my body, which helps to keep my digestion in tip top shape.
-
Ashwagandha - My holy grail, this works to regulate cortisol levels and reduce stress. This is essential for me with all of the stressful things going on. At one point I was so stressed that I was losing an obscene amount of hair and I’m talking about clumps and clumps of hair. This is an advanced blend of Ashwagandha that includes a mixture of KSM-66 and CO2 extracts that boost efficacy. It has helped regrow my hair and helps keep me sane.
-
Elderberry + Cayenne - y’all already know shit is constantly going around and I’m way too busy to get sick so I take Elderberry Syrup but I wanted to make sure it had a nice medical kick to it. The cayenne helps boost the efficacy and I love it.
-
Magnesium - This is essential. It helps to improve my sleep, improve muscle and nerve functioning, improves blood sugar and blood pressure and relieves tension in the body . It’s also a cofactor and assists several chemical reactions in the body.

Come with me to make herbal supplements @yourherbalhealingco with my crazy little sister @j_lanice

I’ve been struggling to find words to express how disappointed I am in humanity recently. What is happening in Palestine RIGHT NOW is a display of the darkest side of humanity. The Israeli government (with the support of the US) has made it clear for a very long time that they do not look at the people of Palestine as humans. This is one of many attempts to commit genocide against the Palestinians. I’ve seen countless videos of bombing and countless dead children. I’m furious, disgusted and heartbroken. I feel so helpless, like there is NOTHING I can do in real time to help and that is exactly what they depend on us doing, NOTHING. BUT, I do have a voice and I’m using it, just like I do any time I see an injustice. This is not ok. I am not ok. We live in a time where we can clearly see the propaganda and lies. This isn’t about religion, or ethnicity. It’s about humanity. I have a platform and this is what social media is for. I’ve seen some pretty horrific videos of what is happening but seeing the look of terror and trauma on this poor baby’s face changed me forever. I wish I could grab him and hold him, and all I the children affected by the many war crimes and humanitarian laws that are being broken right now. I cannot watch and say nothing.

FREE PALESTINE

Hey everyone. I miss you all and I have been trying to find the strength and confidence to come back on this page and interact with you all. I recently lost one of my sisters (UDY) she was adopted into my family when I was just 14 years old and had been one of the most important people in my life since. She was my first sister to make me an aunt and one of the people that loved me the most. I miss her terribly and some days I feel completely frozen.

She went to work and had an asthma attack and they could not save her. It’s been incredibly hard for me and our family. I promise to be back on here soon with content and updates. I’m working on catching up on all my dms and emails.

Please love on your loved ones, give each other flowers and live each day to the fullest most importantly do NOT neglect your health.

Xoxo

Happy Friday Everybody I’ve got GOOD NEWS & NOT SO GOOD NEWS

The not so good news is I am shutting down the Let’s Be Vegan herb shop. Right now, we are still selling the Parasite Cleanse, Immunity Blend & Elderberry Kits. The website will still be active with tons of recipes and content.

The Good News is that my new baby @Roastedrootstea is doing great and needs all my attention and resources to succeed. If you’re new to Roasted Roots Tea, it’s tea that tastes like COFFEE. It’s caffeine free and HEALTHY. Please give my new page a follow!

If you’ve placed an order on Letsbevegan.com and received a tracking email that never got updated, please send an email inquiry through the website so the fulfillment team can take care of your order ASAP. I received a few messages and want to ensure that everyone that ordered is taken care of immediately.

My vegan Moqueca “inspired” stew. (I strongly emphasize the word inspired because I know it’s very similar but also very different from the traditional Moqueca) I’ve seen so many versions of this stew from all over the world and wanted to create my own vegan version. I tried to stick to the basics but switched things up a lot because I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand and was not going to the store. Lol. The stew is typicality made with seafood and palm oil so I opted for cauliflower and made my own version of palm oil and it was sooooo good. Let me know if you have tried the original version of this stew.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbs of garlic scallion paste
• 4 Large tomatoes peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup of chopped leeks
• 1/2 cup of chopped onions
• 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley stems
• 1 russet potato peeled and chopped
• 3-4 cups of cauliflower florets
• 2 cups of full fat coconut milk
• 3/4 Tbs of extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cups of veggie broth
• 1 tsp of fresh cilantro or parsley

Seasonings:

• 1 tbs of adobo seasoning
• 1 tsp of paprika
• Pinch of saffron
• 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes (I used Korean red chili)

Vegan friendly palm oil:

• 3 Tbs of extra virgin olive oil
• 3 Tbs of coconut oil
• 1 tsp of smoked paprika

*Also for all of you that commented on my previous reel about the pots and pans with detachable handles, you will noticed I used them in this video. They did not stain what’s so ever. I was also mindful of the heat setting and utensils. Although I used turmeric and tomatoes there was no staining whatsoever. I’ll be sure to do a full review in another few weeks after using them more.

If you’re like me and LOVE fresh garlic but hate mincing it for recipes, then this is for you. It’s a quick and easy way to prep your minced garlic. Just throw it into a food processor and keep it in a glass jar. I make several different versions, adding things like leeks, scallions and ginger but this minced GARLIC & SCALLION mixture is my favorite. I put it in almost everything I cook and use it to create intense flavor. You can prep large quantities and freeze them in jars.

Here’s what you need to make this garlic scallion paste:

• 4 scallions
• 50-60 peeled garlic cloves

First pulse the scallions in a food processor until broken down. Then add in the peeled garlic and pulse for about 20 seconds or until everything is completely broken down. Now add about a tsp of extra virgin olive oil to a small glass jar with a lid and add in the garlic scallion mixture. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for 7-10 days! You can even make several batches keep them in your freezer until you’re ready to use.
