It’s that time of year when the days grow shorter, the temperature drops and our bodies begin to feel the effect of the changing seasons.
Autumn allergies are at an all-time high. The common cold, the flu and other respiratory illnesses are beginning to make their presence known. And, with the clocks “falling back” in many locales and the stress of the holiday season beginning to mount, the effects of any underlying chronic health conditions we have are exacerbated.
Staying healthy and well is a priority for us and our families… but where do we turn when we are looking for natural yet effective alternatives to over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs?
Let me share how my search to improve my health opened up a whole new world of natural healing possibilities I never knew existed!
My Story
Several years ago, I was struggling to keep my blood pressure under control. At the time, I was on several prescription medications but still needed an additional med to help me keep things in a safe range,
The problem was, my health insurance did not cover the new medication I needed and I could not afford the out-of-pocket cost.
I needed a solution – fast – but wasn’t sure what to do.
So, I began to look for alternative ways to get my blood pressure under control.
In the process, I discovered The Herbal Toad – a family-owned, Christian-based herbal company that specializes in offering high-quality, affordable herbal products while blessing to those they serve. As it turns out, their best-selling product is B.P. Tincture – a blend of herbs that have been long used to support healthy blood pressure.
After reading the reviews and testimonies of one satisfied customer after another, I decided to give this tincture a try.
What Exactly Is An Herbal Tincture?
At the time, I was unfamiliar with herbal tinctures and their usage, but I had already had success using various essential oils for different ailments, so I couldn’t wait to learn more.
I found a wonderful section on How To Use Tinctures on their website, which discusses the advantages of herbal tinctures over other methods of delivery. They are so easy to use – you simply put a little water in a cup, add the tincture and ingest it,
Note: I am not a medical professional. I am sharing my personal experience but nothing I share should be construed as medical advice. Before using any tincture, you should research the ingredients to make sure that there are no contraindications with any other medications or medical conditions you may have. Or, you can reach out to the company with any questions about their products. Stephanie, the owner, is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!
The Results
Testing a tincture on a condition like hypertension is a great way to learn if the product really works because you can easily take before and after readings to track the results.
When I started to use this product, my husband and I were shocked. Every single time I (and eventually he) used the product, we saw a noticeable drop in our blood pressure!
Fascinated, we began to explore The Herbal Toad website to see what other products they had that could help us in other areas of our health. Over time, we have tried so many of their products that we have an entire shelf and a large tin box in our refrigerator dedicated solely to their tinctures!
These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
One of the best ways to explore The Herbal Toad website is to Shop By Benefit. Use the Index in the sidebar to find what condition you need help with – you’ll be surprised by what you find!
Over the years I have used many of their tinctures (I still do!) Here are a few of my favorites that I have found to be extremely helpful for various conditions:
- Attack is an all-purpose, multi-strategy herbal biotic formula that promotes healthy immune, respiratory and lymph system function. I find that this powerful herbal-biotic helps me feel better when I feel like I am coming down with a cold or respiratory issue.
- Elderberry is another staple in my family’s natural healing tool chest! Did you know that Elderbery is one of the most studied and documented herbs in existence? This herb contains several healthy immune supporting properties and has been used for generations!
- Stability is a lifesaver on those days when you feel off-balance, emotionally triggered and under duress. Its powerful synergistic blend of herbs helps you feel calmer and returns you to a place of emotional stability.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Fibro Calm AM and PM for relief from Fibromyalgia and Respair for relief during asthma attacks are also on my favorites list!
But That’s Not All
The Herbal Toad also specializes in a variety of other high-quality products such as Essential Oils, Herbal Blends, Teas and Soaps. A few of my favorite Essential Oils from the shop are Mint Cocoa – a seasonal blend that I’m enjoying as I write – Itch Tamer (an essential blend for dealing with itchy bug bites) – and Palo Santo – a hard-to-find essential oil with many uses!
Over the years, I’ve come to rely on the Herbal Toad for their high quality products for many reasons:
- They use only the highest quality herbs when it comes to their tinctures – herbs that are certified organic and holistically wild crafted/
- Their essential oils are unsprayed-wildcrafted or certified organic and undergo rigorous quality control measures, including GC/MS testing to ensure therapeutic quality and purity.
- Their shipping is fast and their packaging is perfect. I usually receive my cross-county order in just a few days!
After several years of relying on The Herbal Toad for many of my family’s medical needs, I could not be more pleased with their service or their products.

Hi! I’ve never used a tincture but this was interesting and encouraging. I may try some in the future; thanks for the tip on where to buy.
Another thing that works to lower blood pressure to optimal level is to mill grain that you buy at the store and bake your own bread (I use a bread maker). The nutrients in the freshly milled grain cures all sorts of health problems!
Hi Janine,
What I wouldn’t give for a warm loaf of hot baked bread right now!
If you are interested in trying their tinctures, I encourage you to sign up for their email list.
Stephanie does not send out emails often so you won’t get bombarded but now is the perfect time because she always offers fabulous holiday events and specials that you won’t want to miss! :-)\
Thanks for sharing about this company, Ramona. I have now signed up for their mailing list. The anti-inflame tincture is the first one I’m considering. Hope you’re doing well!
Hi Pam,
So glad you signed up – you will LOVE this company!
I use the Anti-Inflame tincture regularly and always have great results.
I originally purchased it due to body-wide inflammation but I also find it helps when my nasal passages swell and I have trouble breathing!
Let me know what you think! 🙂
