Wow…Can you believe that 2012 is already here? I hope everyone enjoyed all their Holidays and fun celebrations! Today is a great celebration day. It’s my husbands Birthday…Billy Bob…(I need to remind myself to go buy fire extinguisher to help put out birthday candles..hahaha)   and another holiday and celebration for Martin Luther King.  2 great men in my opinion!

Moving to Tennessee has been a big adventure for the whole family. Nashville has so many different sights and smells to get used too. I’m loving the season changes. Mobu Herbals is getting ready to turn 7 years old. So much has changed since the very first day we opened up for business. My desire and goals for Mobu Herbals was to bring as much relief to those who were suffering from health ailments and problems. Placing products in health stores has been a great avenue for Mobu. The only one problem has been getting the balms to the people that need it the most. A couple of years ago, I was approached about starting up home parties to help with the educating about the products. It’s true….word of mouth travels so much further. I’ve also had some negative feedback from starting up the home party plan. Here is one e-mail that I received that really got my attention:
The subject was:     Gold tins really turn me off.

Hi, I have been using your incredible products for a few years now- my coop used to carry them- I just bought some on line though today.

I am really skeptical of these “be your own boss” things and getting people to direct sell. They have a bad history.

So, I am just writing to say that seeing that on your website almost makes me want to cancel my order. I just recommended your products to a group of friends, but now feel funny doing that for fear that they will think I am getting some kind of a kickback.

Just FYI.

Sally      My response email as follows:

> HI Sally

I would like to personally thank Sally for bringing this to my attention. I know you can’t please everyone…but I really do try. I’m also very aware of the down slide of the economy. A lot of anticipation and restless nights of what the new healthcare is going to bring. So many changes and so many jobs lost in the last couple years…it’s kind of scary and depressing!  My favorite saying has always been : ” If life hands you Lemons, make Lemonade!!!”   I feel like Mobu Herbals can benefit so many people. I feel like thru this party plan with payment plan, it can help support those in need of income, and also help educate those who need the product.

I appreciate the continued support of my customers. I love the feedback. Keep it coming.  Have a Happy and safe 2012.

Love to you all,

Janell

As I rush to and fro from driving kids places, or wrapping presents, baking Christmas goodies, talking on the phone with customers and taking orders….my mind starts thinking of all the things I’m thankful for, and all the things that have happened this year. Wow!  Time goes by fast! So much has happened this year. Moving the family and business from Arizona to Tennessee has been quite the adventure! We are loving it here. The smells of the crisp, rainy weather is very enjoyable, and it really feels like Christmas!

I have enjoyed getting to know a lot of Mobu clients and Mobu Family and Friends consultants.  I’m so thankful for the love and support that so many of you give me and the encouraging words to keep Mobu growing. I love talking with all of you and value our friendship.

From my family to all of you….Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hugs, Janell

Last week I did a radio show with Jeff Burke of the Stay Healthy Show in Las Vegas. We had a lot of people call in with comments or questions on how to use Mobu Herbal products.  One question that constantly comes up is: ” Can I use more than one balm at a time? ”  Yes you can!!! Example: If you have dry, cracked skin….apply S.O.S. Balm to any area needed.  If you have skin tags, or sores, or any area that needs taken off….apply X-Tracting directly onto targeted area.  If you have hormone issues such as hot flashes, moodiness, irregular periods, etc……apply Women’s 35+ on blue vein areas, or inner thigh or breast area.  If you are experiencing constipation….apply dime size amount of E-Z-Lax Balm on abdomen (belly button down ). This also works great for babies and/or elderly people who are bedridden. Works Fast!  If you are suffering from any pain such as:  Arthritis, Headaches, Fever, Toothaches, Migraines, Back aches, Body aches of any kind….Rub A.M. Pain Balm or A.M. Lotion all over area associated with pain. For toothaches, apply balm on the outside of mouth where pain is.

All balms contain a mixture of herbs that help certain ailments. You cannot over-use the balms in a wrong way. Experiment and find your relief!

I love questions and comments.  Post comments to win prizes and lots more. Don’t forget it’s germ season!!! Get your prevention on with C.C.C. Balm or Lotion. Helps fight germs with Tea Tree oil and lots of herbs to help calm hacking cough, soothe sore throat, help break up congestion from colds and flu. Very soothing!  Rub on C.C.C. Balm all over neck, shoulders, chest and throat area when starting to feel feverish, or starting to chill.  listen to your body! Get plenty of rest, and drink lots of liquid.  Hot tea is the best!  Drink peppermint or Ginger tea for nausea.  Fennel Tea is wonderful if nothing else stays down.  Perfect for the Flu. Keep some handy in your pantry, along with good ole stand-by Chicken Noodle Soup.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!!  I love this time of year. Carving pumpkins, baking pumpkin bread and watching my daughters and twin granddaughters get all dressed up.  Such a magical moment. Here’s one of my favorite Halloween songs to share with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-1Kf10Y32w&feature=BFa&list=FLBlPnG8nC7GYv3D_3Le06lA&lf=mh_lolz

Driving my girls to school today, was a fun adventure! Instead of the air conditioning coming on, I quickly changed the dial to defrost and warm! It’s beginning to look like Fall!  I love this time of year.  Kids are back in school, early mornings means time alone with my favorite cup of tea and my porch swing. It also means getting in back of the drawers and bringing out warm socks and sweaters.  Evenings are getting chilly.

With Fall like weather comes the warm soups cooking in the crock pot all day long. The aromas of the soup dancing in the air, with hints of garlic and onion and other earthy herbs and spices. It’s almost a magic for our senses. Warm food also adds a sense of well-being or comfort. When you get sick, the first thing most people think of is Chicken Noodle Soup!  Homemade of course!  There has been study on Chicken Soup and they have found that it does offer some healing qualities. After sick people eat Chicken Soup, they start to feel better.  I think it has to do with warming the body up.  When you are sick, your body becomes weak. You need a lot of warm liquids and soups to help give the body nourishment. Vitamin C, along with Echinacea and Garlic are great ways to build up the body and help fight your sickness.

Another great way to get extra nourishment in our body is to eat healthy grains and beans. They are stacked full of B Vitamins and give your body a natural energy boost that  helps build the immune system. Getting children to eat healthy is somewhat of a chore. I’m going to share a great secret and recipe for getting good grains into the belly’s of your loved ones.

Breakfast Hot Cakes

In a blender:  1 cup 9 grain flour,  1/2 c. oats, 1 cup soy milk or milk, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 t. salt, 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil,  2 Tablespoon Honey or agave, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon. (cinnamon helps balance hunger and blood sugar…keeps you fuller longer)   Blend all ings on high til mixed. Add more liquid or flour according to thickness. You can make waffles out of this mix or pancakes.  Variations: Add Blueberries or nuts or bananas. I like to add bananas and spread the pancake with peanut butter. This makes a high protein and perfect breakfast. Picky eaters will even eat it. Don’t tell them it’s healthy. They will never know. Add pure Maple Syrup or Agave or honey or fresh Strawberries.  Be careful of imitation syrups, as they may contain High fructose Corn syrup.

I’ll start posting more healthy recipes.  Just remember:  A little prevention can go a long way! Eating healthy does not have to be boring or tasteless.

If you’re starting to feel a little run down with sniffles, sneezing, coughing or all of the above. CCC works great. Rub some on today. It’s available in the lotion or Balm.

Yesterday, after checking the local updates on the devastating Hurricane ” Irene “, I stumbled upon another article almost as alarming.  Mutant strain of Bird Flu…H5NI is spreading in Asia and is making its way to America.  It seems like we can’t keep up with last year’s scare, it keeps getting worse! The Virus is super strong!

As a practicing Holistic Doctor, I see many clients with already compromised Immune System.  The thought of catching something so drastic as the Bird Flu really feels like the grim reaper is coming to get you….and take you home!  Usually in the beginning of Fall, when school begins, I start to see the common cold and Flu, with Strep Throat lurking around from the classrooms to the playgrounds. The children then bring home all their germs and it spreads like wildfire. OUT OF CONTROL!! Sometimes I wish I could just put myself and family in a plastic bubble. I guess the social butterfly in me would become more hostile and I would go nuts.

Last year, my daughter Maci had a few friends over for a sleep over. The girls had so much fun. Pizza and movies and I think they even found time to sleep. Ahhh, to be young again.  Well the next day, after the girls had gone home, I get a phone call from one of the mothers that she had just taken her daughter to the hospital for running such a high fever. She never showed any signs of even feeling bad.  The hospital had run tests and she had just tested positive for the Bird Flu. First case in our town!  After lots of frantic emotions going through my body thinking my daughter could be next…the Doctor Mom in me took over.  Prevention is the key to health!  You have to arm yourself with as much protection as you can!  Lots of water to flush out toxins, healthy grains, nuts, veggies, fruits, lean meats, Fresh Sunshine, Vit C…It’s not rocket science, just good common sense!

One extra precaution I like to use in my practice and also on my family and myself is one of my products I created to help ease flu-like symptoms and to help with the common cold. It’s called CCC Balm.  It stands for Cough, Cold, and Congestion.  I feel like it’s also a protection from the germs floating around. I’m always rubbing my husband and kids down during the months of flu season.

Oh…Back to my daughter’s friend with the Bird Flu…When I heard the news..I passed the CCC Balm to everyone who had come in contact, especially the girl who was sick. To make a long story short and sweet…no one else caught the Flu and the girl returned back to school that Monday. I’m not boasting about the CCC Balm and making claims that it has magic healing powers, but prevention goes a long way. Slather yours on today!

Living in Arizona, it’s not too common to go barefoot,  unless you’re jumping into the pool.  With the hot temp outside, the cement is boiling hot.  It’s very easy to scorch your feet . When I first moved here from California,  I made many attempts to wear no shoes at all.  I’ve learned my lesson!  As a holistic doctor,  I encourage my clients to take extra care of their feet. Without our feet…we wouldn’t get anywhere!  I feel everyone needs to have trimmed toe nails,  making sure there is no athletes feet (red rashes around the feet that cause itching and irritatation. )  People who are pre-diabetic really need to pay attention about their appearances of their feet, making sure there is no open sores or such.  Professional pedicures are great if they are in your budget. If you’ve never had one done before, it’s a very nice treat for your feet!  If you can’t afford a pedicure, trade off with a partner and give each other a foot massage. One product that Mobu Herbals has that is perfect for massaging on the feet is Kava Calm Balm. Rub it on at night, and you and your partner will sleep great. Massaging the feet is very beneficial for getting the circulation in the feet pumping. Our feet get very little attention with out the extra pampering that they need. Another  product from Mobu Herbals that is perfect for the feet is S.O.S. It’s a antibacterial, antifungal balm which helps the feet stay soft and smooth, and will help alleviate any rashes and or sores on your feet. It has Tea Tree Oil in it to also help. Try some on your feet.  If your feet have bad sores or deep cuts or nail fungus, you may need to try X-Tracting Balm from Mobu Herbals.  It’s a perfect pulling savle that helps with the tougher problems that many people face with their feet and other parts of the body. Most important thing….Take time for yourself….Prop your feet up and rest a while! Do it for the health of it!!!

When creating my precious gift to the world of these pure little pots of gold, I didn’t know exactly what and how to do it.  5 years have passed now, and I’m still selling wholesale to nutrition stores, and starting to branch out to the web, and now by home party consultants.

What I have noticed is the value of word to word mouth on how to use the products and the strength that these gold tins have to offer. People are amazed when told that these products can help stop pain, fever, help with constipation all the way to skin tags. I think people are more impressed to hear results from their friends before believing someone in the health store trying to make a sale. 

After a lot of soul searching, I have decided to take Mobu Herbals to the public and start selling as Home party plans.  With the economy the way it is, I feel like so many people could benefit with an extra income, or even replace the income they may have loss due to all the job layoffs.

Have you ever dreamed about being your own boss? Being able to set your own hours? Have a room full of people telling you the products you’re selling has changed their lives for better? What about having people under you selling and you getting a commission on their sells?

Dream Big!!! Possibilities are endless! This is a once in a lifetime offer .This is a Ground floor opportunity!  We are looking for individuals who are passionate about helping others, and want to find that fountain of youth again. If this is you…..We want to hear from you.

Mobu Herbals offers a great compensation plan .We also educate you on the products and natural healthy living for your success.  For further info…..email to:   orders@mobuherbals.com

Within a few days, you could be on your journey to obtaining your own wealth and health. You’re only a email away to get started. Our products are life changing! We do it for the health of it!

Wishing you a life of wealth and health,

Janell Cole N.D., M.H.  Creator and Owner Mobu Herbals

Why and Who should try Mobu Herbals little Pots of Gold?  Personally I think every house hold should have these rich pot of gold tins handy.  With the concern of economical and financial issues that many of us are facing, we are starting to see things around us crumble. What about our health care system? Are you secure with the way things are going?  If you do make frequent trips to the doctor, are you getting tired of being handed piles of prescriptions without your doctor really trying to get to the root of your problem?

Let’s start with pain. This includes anything or anywhere on your body that hurts, throbs ,stops you from your daily regimen. Have you ever seen someone’s hands curled up and twisted from Arthritis? I hurt for people! I have the perfect pot of gold to help anyone that is hurting feel better again really fast.

A.M. Pain Balm and A.M. Herb-dicinal Lotion:  Rub directly on area that is hurting.  Dig into the balm to get a dime size amount.  As your fingers touch the balm, you will start to feel the strength of the herbal infusion! Fingers are our body’s receptor. It’s like when you touch a hot stove, you can feel the pain all the way down to your baby toe.

For headaches: Rub on targeted area. You should start to feel relief almost immediately. You can apply as often as needed.

TMJ- Rub around jaw area. A lot of my clients like to use the A.M lotion during the day because it is less greasy and easier to apply.

Arthritis and Joint Pain- Apply balm or lotion where-ever there is pain or edema. A lot of people suffering from knee and leg pain like to rub A.M. on them before getting out of bed.

Great for Sun Burns and other burns- apply A.M. balm as needed.

A.M. Pain Balm and Lotion has been created for those needing to function all day long without pain or feeling the side effects of what other pain medications cause. (especially drowsiness) The herbs in the A.M. Balm contain organic green tea and yerba mate to naturally keep you awake and alert through out the day, while Feverfew and White Willow take away pain and fever, and other herbs synergize to soothe other irritants that may be causing the pain and discomfort.

P.M. Pain Balm and Herb-dicinal Lotion was created to offer night time support from pain and fever. This product is for use when you are ready for a good night’s rest!  It has herbs in the balm to stop the pain and herbs in it to induce a good night’s sleep.  My intent on creating this product was when you are in pain, you need it stopped now!  By applying the P.M. Pain it will help relax your body into a deep sleep, so that you will sleep without tossing and turning. This is perfect for when you are suffering from back or shoulder pain or TMJ or whatever….your body is out of pain and you can sleep and when you wake up in the morning….you feel amazing!!!

I will post later this week on other area’s of health Mobu Herbals pot of gold can help your body with.  Have a great week.

Imagine living in a world where you had to choose between  wealth or health?  Would you choose the life of living in a huge house with servants at your beckoned call? After weeks of living the pampered life…would you become bored? Also, you need to remember you chose wealth over health, so while living in the luxury life,  aches and pains and illnesses are starting to weigh you down. It wouldn’t be too long before depression would start to set in and then soon nothing around you would even be worth living for.

Imagine living in a world where you had never-ending amounts of energy.  Life was wonderful! No aches or pains to weigh you down. Of course money might be a issue, but….remember with health, you could do anything! Start your own business….work for the top  companies in the world… Possibilities are endless when you have good health.

When I first started my practice as a Holistic Healer, I had a day spa with massage therapists, estheticians, colon therapists, and nutritional consulting…I offered different types of services to bring my clients back to optimal health. When my clients would leave the center, they would be full of energy and full of smiles as they left to go about with their daily lives.  What I began to notice was they kept coming back with the same complaints of aches and pains, and illnesses that were never-ending. I knew I had to do something different to get to the source of all their problems.

One day I had a young lady brought to me who had just returned from serving  a Mormon Mission in Brazil. I have never seen a person so sick in my life!  The Doctors were puzzled because they could not find the root of her problem. The Doctors suspected parasites, but after all the conventional testing, nothing came up positive.  I immedietly started her on a parasite cleanse and colonics. During her colonics you could see thousands of long, short and fat worms leave her body. After a few weeks, I could tell we were on to something positive. She was starting to stand on her own, and her appetite was starting to come back.  One thing I noticed was her ability to digest and to assimilate any nutrients. She was not getting any herbal nutrition in her bodyto finish killing the parasites.   I knew I had to do something different to get her completly well again.

To make a long story short and sweet…I started taking my oral formulas and infusing them into oils to use as a topical medication. What a marriage of perfection! Organic Olive Oil and Organic Herbs.  For me, this was the missing link in my practice. It has been 9 years since that sweet young lady was brought to me, and many other clients since then.  I had one client who strongly urged me to take my products to the public. She insisted that I could help more people through my products than just seeing one patient at a time. This is how Mobu Herbals was started. Mobu stands for Medicinal-Organic-Botanicals-unite.

When I began to package my topical potions, I wanted my packaging to stand out, and to stand for something I believed in.  Mobu Herbals little Pot of Gold!  My pot of gold is my contribution of my “Wealth”  of knowledge of herbal infusions for your  “Health”.   I hope you will try my gift to the world. My pot of gold tin can’s, can help take away aches and pains all the way to stabolizing blood sugar or helping with hormones, and anything in between.

I will blog more this week of ways my Pot of Gold,  can help you acheive better health.

Have a Healthy weekend.  Janell
