Want to brew up your own herbal blends for tea, infusions or baths? Use them for potpourri or for an impromptu sachet.
These 100% cotton re-usable muslin herb bags with draw-string come in several different sizes:
The bags may be brewed with and then emptied, washed, dried and re-used. When brewing and infusing, be sure to under fill the herb bag in order to accommodate the expansion of dried herbs when soaked.
USEFUL HINT: We have found that washing the tea bags in the top rack of the dishwasher works well. We give them a quick rinse after to make sure there's no soap remnant on them.
What is muslin?
Muslin refers to a cotton cloth of varying styles of weave, from sheer gauze to fine linen. Perhaps the best representation of the latter is jamdani, also known as daka, a fine muslin produced for centuries in Dhaka, now the capital of Bangladesh. At one time, linen muslin was popular in dress-making from the 1700s through the early 20th century.
These muslin bags are made of a simple linen type weave that you wouldn’t want to make a dress out of, but they’re perfect for making large batches of tea, spice and seasoning sacks, herbal sachets or bath bags.

External use only.
Apply a small amount to affected areas and massage gently until absorbed. Relief can begin in seconds, with full effect often felt within 30 minutes. For best results, apply immediately after a warm shower to open pores and enhance absorption.
Targeting Nerve Junctions:
In addition to the painful area, apply along major nerve pathways—especially the spine, neck, or elbow—to prevent residual pain signals from radiating. For example, wrist pain may also require application near the spine to interrupt nerve signaling at its source.
Chronic nerve pain may require 1–3 consistent applications for noticeable improvement.
FREEDOM targets the body’s energy systems and blood flow to calm overactive nerve receptors and support natural detoxification and inflammation relief. Key herbs and essential oils include:
Nettle – Enhances circulation, uplifts the body, and dispels physical and emotional fatigue.
Oregon Grape root – Supports detox by purifying the blood and promoting internal cleansing.
White Pine – Traditionally used for grounding, warming, and promoting strength and spiritual balance.
Meadowsweet – Historically used to ease pain and inflammation while calming tension in both body and spirit.
Ginger Root – A warming herb that boosts circulation, eases inflammation, and delivers comfort to deep tissues and joints.
Skullcap – A revered nervine herb known for its calming properties, helping to quiet overactive nerves and reduce pain sensations.
Peppermint Essential Oil – Offers a cooling effect that soothes discomfort, reduces inflammation, and increases circulation to targeted areas.
Lime Essential Oil – A refreshing, uplifting oil known to stimulate lymphatic flow, support detox, and brighten both the body and mood.
Does this work for everyone?
While FRESH FREEDOM helps approximately 95% of users, no remedy is universal. It may not be effective for gut-related nerve pain.
How fast does it work?
Relief can be felt within seconds, though full potency may take up to 30 minutes. Showering beforehand can enhance the effect.
How often can I use it?
As needed! For chronic conditions, reapply every 3 hours or during the night for uninterrupted rest.
What’s the texture like?
FRESH FREEDOM contains lanolin and may feel tacky at first, but quickly becomes smooth and silky after being massaged into the skin.
How long does a 2oz tin last?
With regular daily use, it typically lasts about 3 months.
Will this show up on a drug test?
No. FRESH FREEDOM is drug-free and completely safe for routine testing.
Use with our Deep Heal formula for bone/tissue repair.

Known as "chiropractor in a bottle" with its ability to balance the body both physically and energenically.
BENEFITS:
DESCRIPTION:
EMOTIONAL / SPIRITUAL / MENTAL ASPECTS: LeMillenia helps one find the courage to move forward with confidence and faith. It brings clarity about what is really necessary for happiness and contentment. It can help us find an equilibrium between being organized, neat, orderly, meticulous, logical, and analytical (all good traits), and being obsessively focused on perfection.
LeMillenia is used to aid us with self-expression, fear of conflict and disagreement, and the ability to make decisions. This blend can foster tenacity and independence of spirit.
PHYSICAL ASPECTS: "Chiropractor in a bottle" is a good description of this blend except that LeMillenia aligns so much more than just physical structures. LeMillenia aligns the electrical energies of the body, balances every meridian, and energizes every chakra. In addition, LeMillenia maintains the integrity of the connective tissues that wrap, connect, and protect every organ and balances the emotions connected to each organ. LeMillenia balances the moisture and fluid levels in the body.
One of my favorite uses for LeMillenia is in working with ADHD and hyperactivity. Applying LeMillenia to the feet at least once a day can make a profound difference in a childs ability to sit still and concentrate. I use the feet because it is an excellent place to draw essential oils into the body. I also like the feet because the person (it is often a little boy) can put his shoes back on, go to school, and no one teases him because he "smells like flowers." Also consider using LeTranquility along with LeMillenia.
As an agent of structural alignment, LeMillenia can be used as a diuretic, an antispasmodic, an expectorant, and a nervine. LeMillenia is helpful for some types of arthritis, for sciatica, and to improve capillary circulation. LeMillenia should be tried at the very first moment a hernia is suspected.
Using LeMillenia to brush your teeth may keep your teeth aligned and prevent cavities. A drop should be diluted in almond oil and put in the ear for earache. This will realign physical structures and take the pressure off of the ear canal or ear drum.
Because LeMillenia realigns physical and electrical structures, it is beneficial for some types of headaches. It is antispasmodic, analgesic, and excellent where bruising has occurred.
There is not enough understanding of anorexia, but it is known that something in the way LeMillenia realigns the body systems changes the thinking and brings relief from this condition.
INGREDIENTS: Blue Tansy, Chamomile German, Elemi, Fir, Frankincense, Geranium, Lavender, Rosewood, Spruce
AROMA: Woody, Floral
RESONANCE: LeMillenia is a very low frequency oil. This makes it very effective for working on issues of physical structure and alignment. However, LeMillenia is also an outstanding emotional blend.
AFFINITY FOR: body structure and alignment, energy/electrical system, nervous system, muscles, skin, every chakra, emotional balance, every meridian
APPLICATIONS:
Topical Use: LeMillenia is very good applied to the bottoms of the feet or along the inside of the foot (the spine in reflexology and foot zone therapy). You can balance the energy between the left and right lobes of the brain by putting a drop of LeMillenia on your index fingers and placing your fingers on your temples. The left hand should be on the right temple, and the right hand on the left temple.
Diffused: When diffused, LeMillenia builds courage, confidence, and self-esteem while being calming and relaxing at the same time.
Formulated to strengthen the immune system and help fight viruses and bacteria.
BENEFITS:
DESCRIPTION:
LeDeliverance is one of the most potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal combinations available. Its many uses include respiratory infections, sore throats, strep throats, dental diseases and infections, cold sores, canker sores, cuts, general infections, athlete's foot and toenail fungus, and infection from slivers. Apply faithfully, undiluted, for warts (this takes a little time so be patient).
Frequent and consistent use of LeDeliverance also strengthens the immune system. LeDeliverance is an expectorant and helps the lymph system to drain. This is a very effective oil. Everyone should have it on hand.
INGREDIENTS: Cinnamon bark, Clove, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Oregano, Oregano wild, Rosemary, Thyme
AROMA: Camphoraceous, Spicy
RESONANCE: Physical, spiritual
AFFINITY FOR: Immune system, lymphatic system, skin
APPLICATIONS:
Topical Use: LeDeliverance can be used in so many ways, I am sure that I will not manage to list them all here. Some common methods of use are soak the family toothbrushes in LeDeliverance mixed with water, place a drop on your toothbrush at least one time per day, and place on a cotton ball or in an inhaler and carry with you, inhaling frequently during the cold and flu season.
A particularly effective way to fight a very virulent illness is to apply LeDeliverance alternately with LeLifeForce. In the evening put one of these essential oils on the K1's (acupressure points on the feet) and the other on the thymus. First thing in the morning, put the oils on again, then put them in opposite positions. If LeDeliverance was on the thymus area the night before, it should go on the feet in the morning. This method is very effective against really nasty stuff.
Aromatic Use: An excellent use for this blend is to diffuse it every day during the cold and flu season to eliminate airborne bacteria and viruses.
Cleaning Use: LeDeliverance can be used, diluted, or diffused, in the home as a cleaner and air purifier to fight viruses and airborne bacteria.
GOOD COMPLIMENTARY CARRIER OIL: Mullein infused oil
CAUTIONS: Care should also be taken to dilute well, especially if frequent use is anticipated. The clove, cinnamon, thyme, and oregano in this blend make it a possible skin irritant.
