FLEM UP I began mixing my herbal formulas when my children
were still very young, four or five, maybe. The family gathered together as we were naming these
formulas. I would describe what
they were good for and why we took them.
Then we’d bounce names around until we’d come up with the right
one. When we were naming this
particular formula we eventually came up with “FLEM UP.” The name that I wanted to use was “Hock
‘n’ Spit,” but my little girls said “Oh, Daddy, you can’t name it that!” Now they’re older, I think I ought to
change the name, because “Hock ‘n’ Spit” is exactly what this formula makes you
do.
If you have a cough that hurts, and something ought to
come out but it won’t, then this formula will help. It helps move mucous out of the lungs so that the lungs can
function properly. I have used it
for hay fever and asthma, and for any number of associated problems. Also,
increasing the amount of water you ingest will make a significant difference in
taking care of mucous problems, as water will emulsify mucous.
A
few years after graduating from herbal college, I was called to the home of a
man that was having asthma problems.
His lungs were filled with mucous, becasuse when he coughed you could
hear it rumbling in his chest. But
the cough would bring nothing up.
I made a tea that had been suggested to me by one of my instructors at
school. She always told us that
using this formula may cause the person to vomit, but that this would be a good
sign, because what they would vomit up would be mucous from their stomach and
lungs.
I
determined that this man needed some help immediately, and instituted this
particular formula, not really expecting him to throw up. It was quite an eye opener when he
dashed to the bathroom and threw up about a quart of dark blackish-green
stuff. When he asked if this was
normal, I patted him on the back and assured him that it was.
I
never treated him again for asthma.
All
the garbage that was in his lungs came up at one time. It never reared it’s ugly head again.
He had previously been treated by traditional medicine for this condition for
some twenty years. What an
experience!
FLEM
UP is a formula that has been designed to gently move mucous out of the
lungs. If mucous comes out of the
body too fast, you must decrease the dosage. Normal dosage for this formula is one capsule, three times a day. It can, however, be taken in much larger doses. Anything over ten capsules a day could result
in massive mucous movement. If you
must use large doses, you must also give the body a break, and only do this one
or two days at a time. Follow it
by two or three days of a regular dose, and then you can use a larger one
again. Be sensible. This formula works, and works well.
Traditional use of the contents: Black Cohosh Root has been used to help asthma, coughs and lung congestion,
and as a superior anti-spasmodic. Slippery Elm Bark has been used to help
move the mucus out of the lungs. Lobelia has been used to relax
the lungs and allow their normal function. Lemon
Grass is high in an easily
assimilated version of vitamin A.
