Hilde Hemmes Herbals ProstaLobium (Epilobium) Herbal Extract 500mLThe prostate gland is quite a mystery to most people. It is located in the male genital area and positioned behind the base of the penis, immediately below the bladder and surrounding the urethra (the urinary tube that leads from the bladder to the outside). It is an important gland of the male reproductive system whose main function is to produce an alkaline fluid. This fluid is secreted continuously, and the excess passes from the body into the urine. The rate of secretion increases greatly during sexual stimulation and the fluid contributes to the bulk of the semen. Proper prostate secretion is thus essential to proper sperm action. Herbal liquids are especially suitable for people with poor digestion as they are quickly assimilated into the body. They allow flexibility as dosages can be tailored to specific age groups. Hilde Hemmes’ Herbals unique liquid production process extracts every possible ounce of goodness locked away in each herb, yet never compromises the active medicinal ingredient.

Hilde Hemmes Herbals Echinacea Root Herbal Extract 500mLNative American Indian tribes were the first to use the echinacea root for a variety of ailments and, until the 1800's, it was one of their best-kept secrets. Around 1870 a German physician formulated a medicine containing echinacea that became popular in European households. It was not until the 1900's that echinacea gained recognition amongst healers in the west. As the interest in echinacea increased, hundreds of scientific studies have been conducted with the various species. There has been much confusion as to which species is best and which plant part to use e.g. root, tops or plant juice. Echinacea purpurea root has been proven in a well-conducted clinical trial involving 180 volunteers. Hilde Hemmes' echinacea product is identical in strength and extraction to that used in the clinical trial.Today echinacea is recognised as one of the most exciting herbal discoveries for healthy immune function and to assist in the management of upper respiratory tract infections.
