Well, near Austin anyway.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday (February 26 – 28) the Herbalogic team will be at the Southwest Symposium 2010 in Austin. If you’re around, be sure to stop at our booth for fun and games. I’ll leave the details a surprise, but I will say this much- more cowbell!!

Who is this?

I know, to you folks who live in New England, or Minnesota this is not a big deal, but here in Austin, we don’t often see snow.

This picture comes from my personal herb garden (oregano, lavender, sage- pretty run of the mill stuff) My mother got me this garden statue a few years ago.  I know he’s supposed to be somebody culturally iconic, but I don’t know who. If you know, let me know.

I check multiple allergy reporting sites daily, and they are not entirely in agreement.  Some of them are reporting trace amounts of mountain cedar while others are not (though they all agree that the mold levels are high).  Regardless, cedar pollen in central/ south Texas is like death and taxes (and for those of you allergic, just about as pleasant).

I have compiled a list of simple strategies for reducing cedar allergy symptoms this season:

This weekend we attended the Southwest Symposium as a vendor and it was, in a sense, our coming-out to a much larger audience of TCM practitioners then we have ever been exposed to.

We got an incredible reception from our colleges and friends , it was really overwhelming at times and I want to put out a big thanks to everyone who came by the booth and chatted with us, gave us feedback and encouragement.

We are really excited about growing our business by supporting our fellow practitioners.

It’s not everyday that Third Coast Herbs has the chance to connect with the community that nurtured the minds behind our Concentrated Herb Drops line Herbalogic.  This March 6th-8th we are proud to present our product to our peers and professors and looking forward to continuing our own education and catching up with old friends at Southwest Symposium 2009 in Austin, TX.  This year’s conference has a fantastic line-up, including two of our own teachers Jaime Wu, LAc and Will Morris, LAc, and host of other herbal product and acupunture supply providers.  We sincerely hope we will see you there.

After Emily’s successful summiting of Kilimanjaro, we contacted Alpine Ascents International to see if we could have some of their climbers take our products to see how they do.  They agreed to give them a try and we will be having Peak Power and Back in Action going to Nepal for an expedition and Chile to climb Aconcagua (the highest point in S. America)  We here at Herbalogic hope those climbers have the same sort of good experiences that Emily had and we all wish them great weather and safe climbing.  We will report results when we get them.

We love this picture. Emily De Guzman took a bottle of Peak Power and Back in Action with her on her climb of the highest point in Africa and the highest free standing mountain in the world– Kilimanjaro.

She reported that while others in her group, who were all quite fit, experienced quite a bit of delayed onset soreness and she had very little soreness. She also said that on the summit everyone else was nauseous and had headaches and she did not. Here is her experience in her own words.

“Please find attached the picture of me at the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro with Peak Power! There is no scientific evidence that these herbs helped me reach my goal but I personally believe in their power and like you said, even a 3% difference in how the body reacts at altitude in conjunction with these formulas could determine whether or not one could make it to the summit with no nausea or headache as was my experience.”
