Make Your Own Capsules

Better yet, have your kids make them! Actually, I was in the kitchen making capsules of Kelp and Black Walnut powder and the girls kept asking if they could help me. I put them off twice, but finally decided to be a good mommy and let my kids help me. They were pretty good at putting the little caps on as it turns out.
With my handy dandy Cap-M-Quik capsulator, (or am I The Capsulator?? {snicker}) I whipped out 100 capsules in no time, saving myself gobs and gobs of money. And since I got the powdered herbs and the capsule maker from Mountain Rose Herbs, I also saved myself a trip to the store. Woo-Hoo! Gas saved is money in the pocket!

What are these capsules for? How do I learn about making my own? And if you are mixing more than 1 herb together, how do you make sure the ratio is the same for each capsule?

Kelp is for the iodine, which nourishes the thyroid. Black walnut is an antiparasitic herb.
Not sure what you mean about learning to make your own. Buy the powdered herbs, buy the gelatin capsules, fill the capsules. Easy shmeasy! :)
I don't mix herbs together in one capsule. I made 50 Kelp capsules, 50 Black Walnut capsules.

Look at you guys!! If my family did this and the kids told the wrong people they helped me make capsules we'd for sure get a visit from CPS. HE HE HE HE, you know I just had to comment on this entry. Am I right Vicki?

LOL!!

And if you can actually drag a comment out of Vicki, I'll pay you a referral bonus.
