They have been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent provider of health and healing through the power of nature, their commitment to quality reflects their commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story of their founding.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tA family crisis and an herbal renaissance.\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tNature's Way originated from a circumstance everyone can understand—a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of \"medicinal plants\" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life—it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began the legacy of Nature's Way.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWhile it may seem hard to believe now, for many years herbal knowledge was a lost art in a country fueled by conventional, and often invasive, medical approaches. The founding of Nature's Way reopened a door that had long been closed. Motivated by a passion to spread the power of natural healing, Tom and his family moved back home to the beautiful mountain valleys of Utah and almost single-handedly spurred the growth of what could be called the \"Silicon Valley of Herbal Supplements.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tAn industry pioneer in many ways.\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWhen you've been pioneering natural health for over 40 years, you develop an impressive list of \"firsts\" among major dietary supplement companies.

It is believed to do this by acting on the brain to stimulate the release of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production. Blessed thistle is a bitter herb. Think of the increase in saliva in your mouth when you taste something bitter. Bitter foods, or herbs, not only cause the release of saliva in your mouth but they also cause the release of digestive juices in your stomach. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTherefore blessed thistle is used for stimulating the appetite and soothing indigestion, which is often are caused by lack of digestive juices.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tMost blessed thistle supplements are made as encapsulated dried herb, a tincture of the same plant parts or loose dried herb.

These messengers are responsible for telling cells what to do and when to do it. In the female body the sex hormones, estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone, play an important role in the maintenance of health and fertility. High or low levels of these hormones can cause different complaints, depending on the age of a woman. In addition, normal hormone levels protect other body systems from breaking down, for example the cardiovascular and skeletal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tDigestive Health\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe digestive process takes food material, breaks it down into absorbable pieces and transports it into the body. It is a complex process, involving many organs. Digestion begins with the scent of food stimulating the secretion of saliva. When food enters the mouth enzymes in the saliva begin to break it down. Chewing physically breaks down food pieces and stimulates saliva production. The mucus membranes of the mouth can absorb some nutrients. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tSwallowed food travels don the esophagus and into the stomach.
