Branding update!

Every proper product needs to have a brand name, right? Well guess WHAT? We finally have one! Which also means that our labeling has a major update. I’ve sat and searched high and low for the right brand name, checked out all the trademarks and registered business names, and did a little soul searching. We really wanted something that, first and foremost, gives God the credit, after all, He is the one that spoke herbs into existence. Secondly, of course, it needed to point to who we are and what we are doing, which is making plant remedies. Thus, Holy Herbals was born.

What makes it worthy of being called Holy? Every single remedy is prayed over to Father YHWH in Jesus’ name. Every. Single. One.

Did you know that this is actually a very common practice? Well, praying over the herbs that is, not necessarily to the Father, and definitely not in Jesus’ name. Praying over or putting “good intentions” into your herbal remedies is a very common practice amongst herbalists. Thats part of the reason I am so adamant about Christians getting into the natural remedy field. We are underrepresented and witches are the primary practitioners of herbal medicine. Thats not great news for Believers who are buying up herbal remedies from willy-nilly anywhere. If something is prayed over to a demon, or had a spell cast on them with the intention of healing, we are participating in someone else’s sin. Is taking a remedy that was prayed over to a demon going to hurt the Believer? Probably not. Does that mean we should do it? No. We should be seeking out spiritually safer choices and supporting other believers in their small businesses. Especially with the way things are going in the world today.

This is why we chose to make sure that our branding and labeling is excruciatingly clear about Who we serve. I want to make absolutely certain that there isn’t a question which God our herbs were prayed over to. The Most High, YHWH who sent His only Begotten Son Jesus our Messiah to die for our transgressions. The God who rose Jesus from the grave and set Him on high, seated at the right hand of the Father. The Only. The God of the Bible. That is who we serve, and we will gladly shout it from the rooftops, unashamed.

Our herbal remedies are of course for absolutely everyone, even if they aren’t believers. We aren’t about exclusivity; all are indeed welcome here. Just be aware that you may feel a little extra blessing *wink wink.

Are you ready for the massive shop update that is about to drop in a couple of weeks? I know I sure am! We have 13 tinctures that are about to hit the online store.

Getting excited yet? Yeah, you are! I can tell from all the way over here. You’re just about as excited as I am because that list is gorgeous. Who couldn’t look forward to all of that goodness?

Each of these herbs are absolutely PACKED with medicinal richness. Most of them I use in my daily routines just to maintain an overall sense of well-being. If you are curious about what each of these herbs can do, I highly recommend doing some individual research, so you know what you’re in for. I will be trying to do an individual blog post for each herb and mushroom as I prepare the labeling and all of that, so you can stay tuned if you want that information served straight to you. Just do keep in mind, I am only allowed to say so much because “The FDA has not approved these statements” and if I give you any definitive structure/function information about any herbs that are included in my remedies, I can get a big spanking. Truly, I’m not interested in getting the FDA involved in my herbalism practice. Personal research is HIGHLY recommended.

Closing Thoughts

Keep in mind, God spoke all of creation into existence, He whispered to the wind “blow”, and it obeyed Him. He spoke to the ocean to give waves, told the birds to sing, the trees to give food. shade, and oxygen, and they all obeyed. He gave herbs a job to do, to be helpers to feed and heal and be beautiful…. They obeyed. You can experience the healing that His beautiful creation provides us with, because He spoke, and it obeyed. Healing doesn’t only belong to doctors, and it certainly doesn’t come from synthetic drugs. The only true healing we will ever experience is through Jesus Christ and Him alone as we come and submit ourselves to the Father and His authority. As He speaks over us, may we also be obedient.
