Client Case Study: Kidney & Liver Levels Balanced

July 29, 2025 · In: herbs

In this next personal client case study from my herbalism practice, I’m going to go over a client case, how the client presented, what our action plan was, and the client testimonial. This particular study is on a client with multiple issues, but today we’re taking a look at the healing of her kidney and liver levels. 

My hope is that as you grow as an herbalist and holistic wellness advocate, you’ll see how simple it is to see healing with basic protocols as long as you are diligent and consistent in taking the protocol that’s recommended to you. All client names are kept confidential in accordance with HIPPA laws. I have also left out the dosages given to the client because they are tailored specifically to that clients case.

Client Case Study

CLIENT ASSESSMENT

Age: 46
Gender: female
Known conditions: Period Irregularity, Appendectomy, PCOS Diagnosed w/ Infertility, High Blood Pressure, thyroid nodules, imbalanced and irregular kidney and liver numbers (more issues not listed)

Upon assessing the client after reading her client intake form information, we focused on liver and kidney repair in hopes that as the liver and kidneys begin to heal, some of the other issues will begin to heal as well. We had to take into consideration that this client is also on multiple different pharmaceuticals, so we needed to protect the liver from future damage. 

You will see that because of the multiple health issues for decades with this client, we needed to put a plan together for the whole body, not just the specific symptoms.

Our last two babies have been intense. Meaning—the Our last two babies have been intense. Meaning—they are non-stop and never sleep. Ever. I was awake all night last night, and maybe got an hour of sleep. This is nightly. This will be the longest stretch with no sleep, as the older of the two was weaned by now and started transitioning to sleeping on her own at this age.

Is it hard? Yes. Did I almost start crying last night because I was so exhausted physically and mentally? Yes. Did I think about hurting my children? Never. Not once. Not ever. 

The trend that I’m seeing online right now of mothers hurting their children is heart breaking—not for the mother, but for the children. I can sympathize greatly with the stresses of life, but I cannot understand hurting a child…ever. 

Society has a “me” problem. A generation of people who grew up either entitled or as orphans in their own home, and all they can think about is “how can you take care of ME”. They don’t want to face reality like an adult. At some point in adulthood, when we become parents, we don’t get that privilege anymore. We become the nurturer, not always the nurtured.

So when I see the tik tok trend where a mother is pouring water on her screaming 8 month old, and just keeps doing it with the baby distressed, all because she “stands” with a mother who supposedly killed her children, it doesn’t take long for me to realize there’s a demonic agenda sweeping the nation and world right now. Abortion wasn’t good enough—the enemy needs ALL of them dead. And he will make you sympathize with murder and fits of rage in the process.

Women in our society have an idle and idol problem. Idle hands with nothing to do but scroll and compare instead of build a home (her job and role). Idol because we live in a culture that pushes “self” before selflessness. 

The world needs Jesus. 
Younger women need older women. 
Families need to return to the core of the home life.
Husbands and wives need to return to bearing the burden together.

Children are a gift and inheritance—never a burden. Does it mean you’ll be tired? Yes. But it is just a season, friend. And that season passes us by so quickly.
That’s all… That’s all…
What if understanding the blood requires us to loo What if understanding the blood requires us to look beyond laboratory values—and begin observing the whole person again?

Historically, herbalists did not think about blood only in terms of its composition. They observed its movement, distribution, temperature, and relationship with the tissues. They noticed whether a person was pale or flushed, cold or hot, depleted or congested. They paid attention to the pulse, skin, digestion, menstruation, sweating, energy, and even the way these patterns changed with the seasons.

In Southern and Appalachian folk medicine, this developed into an entire system of blood typology. Practitioners used terms such as high blood, low blood, thick blood, thin blood, fast blood, slow blood, good blood, and bad blood to describe constitutional patterns within the person.

These terms should not be translated directly into modern medical diagnoses. “Thick blood,” for example, did not necessarily mean increased blood viscosity, just as “high blood” did not simply mean hypertension. They were part of a much broader observational framework.

One of the most fascinating parts of this tradition was the connection between blood, seasons, and trees. The old practitioners did not have our modern terminology for these health mechanisms. But they were paying attention.

And that is perhaps one of the most valuable things traditional herbalism can teach us—instead of immediately asking, “What herb is good for circulation?” we can learn to ask better questions. We can learn better ways.

This is the subject of my new 6-part series, The State of the Blood, inside the Homestead Herbalist membership. My goal isn’t simply to give you another list of herbs to memorize. I want to help you recover the skill that traditional practitioners relied upon for generations—observation and intimate assessment. 

Part One of The State of the Blood is now available inside the Substack membership.

It's been a few weeks, and a lot happened while th It's been a few weeks, and a lot happened while the garden kept growing. Here's your Weekly Ag Brief—most important first. One thread ties it together: the gap between what Washington SAYS about protecting farmers and clean food, and what the ledger actually shows. 

🥩 FOREIGN BEEF: Trump moved to bring in up to 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free foreign beef to lower prices—after already quadrupling Argentine imports in February. Ranchers (and even Republican senators) are furious, because cheap imports undercut the very prices producers need to rebuild the herd. Know your rancher. Buy direct.

🪰 SCREWWORM: The cattle border reopens TOMORROW, Aug. 24 (coincidence?)—even after Mexico's Sonora state confirmed its first case days earlier. 44 U.S. cases and climbing. Keep checking your animals.

🥬 LETTUCE UPDATE: The imported-iceberg parasite outbreak became one of the largest on record—10,930 sick, 17 states, 2 deaths. Industrial lettuce from Mexico. Your garden greens were never in it.

🏛️ FARM BILL: Collapsed in committee Aug. 6 over a SNAP fight. Back to the drawing board in September.

✅ TWO WINS: A court ordered USDA to close the GMO-labeling loopholes (no more hiding GMOs in oils & sodas, no more QR-code-only labels). And MAHA moved to close the food-additive "GRAS loophole."

⚖️ BUT THE LEDGER CUTS BOTH WAYS: glyphosate got a liability shield, and the EPA eased scrutiny of "forever chemicals" in the sludge spread on farmland (comment window closes Sept. 4).

The closer your food is to your own hands, the less any of this can touch you.

Yall don’t remember this but about 13 years or so ago Aldi got sued because their hamburger meat was supplemented with horse meat. History always repeats itself. 

Grow your own. And if you can’t, buy local.

PS-I totally believe in managing the earth, but this all sounds fishy. Kind of like when they released wolf hybrids (coy-wolves) on the east coast to manage the deer population. But no one wants to talk about that either (we’ve seen them many many times here).
