Meet Beverly A. Jensen, PH.D
We’re only 100 years away from complete reliance on herbal medicine. My mother-in-law told the story of her father (circa late ‘20s) chopping the palm of his hand with an axe, her mother going into the garden and picking comfrey leaves, wrapping his hand up with the leaves, tying it tightly, and it was healed in a few days. Today that injury would be a rush to the Hospital ER, stitches, antibiotics, and a bill for a $$$.
After the world’s experience with the social, economic, and health consequences of the covid pandemic, there is a new interest in health self-care. And with invasive technology that threatens health freedoms and privacy, there’s more reason to learn how to protect and heal oneself. And always it has been and still is women who lead in tending to the family’s health.
In a study a few years ago of who is practicing natural medicines in the US, it was found to be primarily women who came from a family using traditional remedies. I grew up in such a family. In 1953, my mother chose to have her third birth in a hospital, for unknown reasons. The doctors in Colorado strapped her flat on her back for the birth, against her protests. There were complications with the birth, and I don’t remember my mother ever seeing an MD again.
When the family was in a serious auto accident in 1958, the doctors stitched us up, but we all saw the chiropractor to put us back together again. Many years later, when she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and the MDs told her to “get her affairs in order,” she went to see the herbalist Hannah Kruger in Boulder. Hannah may be America’s best known herbalist; her patients were lined up down the street from her herbal shop on Pearl Street in the 1970s, so many customers that the Colorado Medical Society tried to close her down, claiming she was “practicing medicine.” Boulderites roared back, and Hannah’s shop stayed open.
Learning Started Early
So I grew up with Prevention magazine, and in my 20s I was buying books on natural healing that filled many shelves. I wasn’t actually reading or using these books—yet, but they seemed like a good resource to have. In my mid-20s I was living in central Missouri, and during the winters I would have a cold every month that lasted for 10 days, and I was so ill I was bed-ridden for 4-5 days. Finally, Linus Pauling discovered the usefulness of Vitamin C. I immediately began taking larger doses, and I reduced the number of colds to 2 per season, lasting 4-5 days and never requiring bed rest.
In 1978, I moved to Seattle, and after a few years sinus infections began reoccurring. I was excited when they came out with Sudafed but it had no effect on me. Once I had such a fierce sinus infection I finally turned to that shelf of books on natural healing that I’d barely read. I found a recipe to overcome congestion: I drank this concoction (“Steep 5 cloves of freshest garlic in two cups of boiling water“) and instantly cleared the sinuses—it was a miracle!
