~Gratitude & New Stores~

Hello Folks!  Checking in today on my BIRTHDAY * to let everyone know that not only do I appreciate the faith and support for my products over this past year, as it's been a year since I launched and I'm doing great…esp…at Good Earth in Fairfax where my last visit to fill an order saw my shelf space nearly emptied!! WOW….amazing.  I'm so glad my products are helping people and doing so well there…very grateful indeed!
:)


And secondly….I am about to take product to 4 NEW STORES!!! Yayyy!!!

I will be in New Leaf stores in the south bay….San Jose Tuesday 28th, Capitola Monday 27th,  downtown Santa Cruz Sunday 26th and Half Moon Bay the 25th!


>>>  New Leaf Locations!

This is very exciting news on something I have been working on for months.  Hopefully everything will go great as I introduce The Sultry Gypsy Herb Co. products into that area.  If you live down there, check it out :)

~Suggested Dosing~

Hello Folks and Happy New Year! Hopefully you've avoided that dreaded sinus cold going around the entire country this past week.

I wanted to address dosing.  Many of you ask when purchasing one of my remedies, 'how much do I take?' And what I usually say is, 'Everyone is different so you need to find out what your threshold is, what works for you. Start small and build up if you need more.'  But still, that is vague.
I am realizing that based on the fact that I am a new business, working things out as I go and NOT being a doctor or a medical practitioner, I have been very conservative with my dosing suggestions.  It's how I prefer to work, with everything.  But I realize that many if not all of my remedies being as gentle as they are, could be increased by a lot more than I am recommending for most people, except for those who are very sensitive and for children which would get a much smaller dose.

So the next time you are in pain or sleepy or cramping or fighting a cold, try a 1/4 to a 1/2 of a dropper full.  If you figure out that that's not enough, next time try a whole dropper full and repeat (when applicable).  But more than likely, it will be enough.  Again it depends on your system and the remedy but know that they can be increased by more than what I've written on the bottles.  Everything I do is on the conservative side, including my expiration dates which are shorter than most glycerites (2 years standard).  That is because I don't want to take any chances with a remedy going bad, so I keep my dates short.

For now in regards to dosing suggestions…start small and build up, esp. with the pain relievers and immune support.  A little more will only help! For stress & sleep aids, start small and build up but find your threshold because once you find what works, there is no need to take more and waste it.

Cheers and be well :)
Danya.

~Announcement~

Hello folks :)

Starting tomorrow I have a new remedy that was just pressed last night and will be for sale this Friday at the Mill Valley farmer's market near CVS.  It's the Women' Libido formula, 'Inner Tornado' that I created last month.  It is now ready for experimentation!  Only one way to find out.  ;)
Since it's a new remedy I'm going to offer it for $10 a bottle for a short introduction period.  I have a feeling it's going to work out well and become a favorite of many; A safe, gentle and natural way to enhance a woman's libido.

I also made two new batches of my sprinkles, 'Eastern Sweets' which is a big seller and the really tasty, 'Nettle & Dill' Sprinkle.  Yum! I will be sampling cucumbers and fruit for each sprinkle, so come down if you want to try them.  


$7/Eastern Sweets        $6.50/Nettle Sprinkle

Thanks!  
See you there :)

~New Remedy~

Announcing an exciting new remedy that will be ready in one month at the farmer's market, online and hopefully in stores=
An Alcohol-Free herbal women's libido formula!!

Whoo-hoo~!!  
                                  Yeahhh!!
Let's hope this works because if it does....FINALLY women will have an herbal aide in their corner that can help effectively stimulate their libidos naturally and gently.  I know there are other formulas out there but so far nothing has stood out above the rest as super effective so I'm giving it a shot.  Although a tasty feast followed by an amazing conversation PLUS a good backrub and doing the dishes really helps raise the roof on the libido....
But at this point, it's all I got here at The Sultry Gypsy!! Try it and give feedback in short! ;)

Muira Puama is a South American herb that helps tonify the sexual organs AND the nervous system as well as brings blood flow to the genital areas, thereby increasing sensation and nerve sensitivity. Source for Muira Puama
Shatavari in an Indian herb that acts as a demulcent to help the body make moisture so as to prevent dryness, especially and ideally vaginally.  It also helps balance the hormones and supports female reproductive organs. Source for Shatavari
Horny Goat Weed.  Enough said but still, it does help to relax smooth muscle movements and relax the mind and body as well calm the nervous system. Source for Horny Goat Weed
Damiana is a Mexican herb that tonifies and supports women's sexual organs and supposedly, helps with orgasm by increasing oxygen to the lower regions, thereby also helping with digestion! Source for Damiana
Nettles helps keep circulating Testosterone IN the system longer thereby directly supporting the libido. Source for Nettle
Passionflower is a soothing nervine that supports and tones the nervous system which can be great for relaxing tension and stress in people thereby helping to quell any tension that precedes sexual encounters.  It also contains Chrysin which helps prevent the conversion of Testosterone to Estrogen thereby dampening the moods for both men and women, although this formula is designed for women it can be used by either sex. Source for Passionflower
Gingko Biloba helps all over circulation of blood and oxygen throughout the body, aiding in memory, focus and naturally helping to bring blood flow to the sexual organs as well. Source for Gingko
American Ginseng helps with stamina and energy as well as increases the libido by way of the hypothalamus. Source for American Ginseng
Eleuthero (formerly knowns as Siberian Ginseng but isn't a Ginseng) helps with stamina and energy. It's known as an adaptogen which helps the body combat stress and fatigue. Source for Eleuthero
And lastly, Chocolate or Cacao Nibs (without sugar) are added because really....chocolate makes EVERYTHING better as well increases endorphins (the feel good neurotransmitters) and that alone is an aphrodisiac in itself!

Hope it helps :)

~Market Days~

*As of 7/14, I am no longer in any Farmer's Markets because it was too much to do that and focus on getting into stores, which I have and will be in 18 by the end of February 2016~  
Cheers and thanks for coming to the market and supporting my work, Danya
~~~


~ I am working hard on getting into more stores.  As of right now The Sultry Gypsy Products are at The GOOD EARTH in Fairfax and at the MV Farmer's Market, until otherwise notified. This coming market on Friday in MV, I will have more of the 'Eastern Sweets' sprinkle AND Painless Sleep in stock after it's out for a month.  Come and try the herb sprinkles!  Hope to see you there!



And of course, don't be shy to try the 'Nettle Sprinkle'...it's great on egg dishes, salads, soups, toast with any kind of cheese spread as well as sushi and other vegetable dishes.  

Oh and I also have a similar Tea version of the 'Relax' formula without the Cacao Nibs, St. John's, Eleuthero and Holy Basil because it's more of a super relaxing night time tea without any adaptogens for daytime stress and without stimulants like chocolate but is very relaxing and tasty!

~New Product~

YUM!!  Introducing my latest product, 'Eastern Sweets'.   A slightly sweet, slightly spicy sprinkle made from Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cardamom & Tumeric.

Cinnamon Verum (true cinnamon) is good for helping with lowering blood sugar and cholesterol, Cinnamon Lourarii tastes sweet without adding any sugar.  Cardamom is helpful with digestive disturbances, gas and oral health.  Nutmeg is also good for digestion, mental clarity and oral hygiene.
Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cardamom all have some anti-bacterial benefits to them. Ginger is wonderful at lowering inflammation, bringing heat and circulation to the body helping in the repair of injuries and illness as well as having anti-bacterial properties.
Tumeric is well-known for it's anti-inflammatory properties along with blood cleansing and is helpful in fighting Alzheimer's.

This sprinkle is not only good for you but it tastes great.  It's reminiscent of eastern cuisine and is good on just about anything that one would put cinnamon such as fruits, yogurt, meats, root vegetables as well as in smoothies.  

Enjoy! 

And of course I still have and just made a new batch of my Nettle & Dill Sprinkle.  This one is great for providing an extra boost of minerals and flavor without a lot of salt.  The fruity background of Ginger compliments the earthiness of Nettle, Dill and Seaweed.  
Yum! Come try them at the Farmer's Markets!

UPdate and Announcement!!

Hello Folks!

So it is with great pleasure I tell those reading this, that my products (most of them anyhow) will now be carried on the shelves of Good Earth on a regular basis!! Yay! I'm very happy and excited about this opportunity and hope to make a good run of it.


On another note...these things must be addressed.  Being that my products are 100% natural the risk of something going bad is higher than that of products with chemical preservatives.  Therefore sometimes it does, happen.  Lately a few of my almond meal face scrub have been returned due to molding :(  boo....I'm not entirely surprised as this is my most food-based product and does run somewhat of a risk of molding.  I have yet to perfect it although have in different batches.  This last batch was obviously a bust.  Therefore if you bought one of my face scrubs directly from me (as opposed to Good Earth where you can return it there) and it went moldy,  please notify me and I will refund your money no problems.
It's something I will continue working on as it's a good product and people like it, including myself.  I just refuse to put chemicals in there so I'm going to have to sort this one out.  I know I have before, I must have increased the honey without realizing the outcome.  Hopefully people understand this.

Let me know.
Cheers!
Danya.
