TESTIMONIALS
See what some folks have said about Texas Medicinals ...
"...We have been involved in alternative health for over 25 years and you have the highest quality products we have tried. I even purchased some and mailed them to my brother-in-law last week in Dallas and he also had great results." -- Drew M.
"[The] herbs are a HUGE success!! I tried the Ashwagandha ... last night. Wow!! That is some powerful stuff! ... [My daughter] came in because she was coughing and really had to shake me to wake me up. I was in a dead sleep. I feel pretty good today." -- Darline T-L
"Mama's lovin' Ginger's Texas Medicinals Kiddie Calm drops. I gave [my son] 1/4 of a dropper this afternoon just to see how it would go over and, in less than 30 minutes, the wee one was looking sleepy and gazing off over yonder.... IT WORKS. Thank you Baby Jesus.
... Maybe mama will get more than 4 hours of sleep tonight. Ahhhhhhhhh. ...
God bless Ginger. I'd marry that woman if she wasn't already taken. --Angel
"... your teas are loved all over the world... my friend in Glasgow bought your Buddha's Bliss tea here [in Austin] almost two years ago, ... and has been emailing me to send her more. She finally ran out. And, she even put herself under a rationed amount so it would last longer..." -- Shana G.
"I just wanted you to know that I am completely addicted to your tea." -- Jen B.
"(I am) in love with your tea! I just drank my Budda's Bliss and ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ..... I am in HEAVEN. It was amazing!" -- Rachel H.
"We have been drinking the tea almost constantly since we got it (2 or 3 cups a day) and we just can't get enough of it. I especially like the Romantica and the Buddha's
Bliss. I've always been a tea drinker... but I
never knew that just drinking tea for fun could be so
enjoyable." -- Jocelyn R.
"My family and I have been really digging the Tonika tea that you make.... I've been using some lemon-flavored agave nectar to cut the grassyness but the whole family loves it." -- Melissa L.
"Thank you so much for the non-aspirin headache treatment [Headache Relief tincture]! After a constant skull-busting headache that persisted for over 48 hours, I earlier Wednesday morning, broke down and took one aspirin. Headache dulled but did not go away. Then, two-hours later, upon receiving your gift, I took two droppers full and an hour later one more. Headache's been gone ever since. -- Carol Ann S."
"Can I take a minute here to give some props to Mama Ginger? I met with her on Monday for a consult about my asthma and allergies. She sat with me for two hours (!!) and talked through my whole body and its many systems, and then gave me numerous suggestions for tinctures and teas for different things that crop up (sinus infection, asthma flare-ups, allergies, bronchitis, and my lactationally-low libido...) and then created a tonic just for me to take daily to boost and support my whole body! Watching her work with all the bottles of herbs was really wild. ...I soooo recommend booking a consult with her. I love the herbal knowledge I gained, and I'm excited about working to boost and support my whole body rather than just blindly treating symptoms and ignoring some deeper patterns." -- Jodi E.
"Thank you so much for everything. I feel so much better. I could feel a change within a day in my overall system. I think that you made me some superwoman juice--that stuff just makes me feel remarkable.... Also, I have to say that the absolute best medicine is the conversation/intake that I had with you. Just being able to look at my whole system and having someone else take part in my healing-that is really trying to heal me rather than just medicate me. I'm so happy that I had an alternative to the harsh-unnecessarily taxing to my system medications rx that were given to me so carelessly by doctors that took less than 2 minutes to diagnose and medicate me....
you know, you are creating a revolution with the herbs, a kind of revolution that heals wounds and builds strength." -- Andrea M.
"I wanted to tell you that WE LOVE the bug spray! That thing is great!!!" -- Mariza B.
"At the risk of sounding repetitive (because I've raved about this stuff already on this list) Ginger Webb of Texas Medicinals has the most awesome concotion for keeping away the mosquitoes, No Mo' Skeeters, I'm sure you can buy it at the Green and White Grocery on Seventh and Waller, I've bought it at Boggy Creek Farm, too. And at Wheatsville.... I love that stuff! Not only does it work better than any other natural-ish repellent I've ever used, it also soothes bites AFTER you've got them, I've found. Major bonus." -- Kami W.
"I just wanted to take a minute to publicly state how great I think
[No Mo' Skeeters] is! I have a small daughter, and I cringe at the thought
of dousing her in Off. But she'll get eaten alive if she so much as
puts her toe outside. I really appreciate health conscience products
such as this one and I plan to let all of my Moms know about this
wonderful product (and non Moms too).
-- Pam N."
"WARNING: this is about hemorrhoids so if you don't want to know and don't
like TMI about them stop now. I have them and they are itchy. My beautiful pregnancy, labor and birth did
me in for having hemorrhoids. They never hurt or bleed just itch like the
dickens. So, I asked MS. Ginger what she might have at Texas Medicinals cause the
witch hazel and tucks weren't cutting it. She suggested Chickweed salve made by Texas Medicinals. My booty has never
felt so gooooood!!! Thank you Ginger and all the others at Texas Medicinals. And, my butt thanks you too!!!!" -- Anonymous :)
"Thank you for your wonderful products." -- Margaret M.
"Thank you for the continuation of appreciation of the plants as Mother Earth continues to remind us as how beneficial they can be the best medicine along with good friends, love and laughter." -- Carol Ann W.
"I don't often take the time to say it, but you are doing such important, needed work on the planet." -- Kim L.

Texas Medicinals Newsletter
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 Madrone (Arbutus texana) A few weeks ago, I can across a stand of plants that I don't get to see very often: Texas Madrone trees (Arbutus texana). These small, beautiful trees are native to the Texas Hill Country, growing on limestone hills from here to west Texas, southeastern New Mexico, and down into Mexico. Texas Madrone bark is smooth to the touch, pinkish, and it darkens and peels away from the tree as it ages. The leaves are simple, thick and leathery. A few days before I found this small but healthy stand of small Madrone trees, I had been wondering about my "UTI Free" formula. "UTI" stands for "urinary tract infection". I designed the formula to help clear out a bad UTI, a common problem experienced by many women [especially those in their 20s] and the formula works quite well. However, the formula relies on Manzanita (Arctostaphylos sp.), a wild medicinal plant that I gathered last time I was out in Arizona, but which does not grow wild here in Central Texas. What was I going to do when I ran out of Manzanita? What could I use locally that would have the same kind of astringent effect on the urinary tract? When I came across the Madrone stand, I knew right away the answer to my question. Madrone leaves can be substituted for Manzanita (as well as for its better known sister herb Uva-Ursi) in teas, sitz baths, and yes, tincture formulas such as my UTI Free formula. I carefully gathered some leaves - just a few from each tree, so few that no one would be able to tell that I had even been there - and took them back to my office kitchen to tincture them. Once again my beloved plants had come to my aid! In the spirit of the plants, Ginger Webb www.texasmedicinals.com Archives
