About Max Koflin (author & founder)
​Here's My Story
Hello, fellow herbal enthusiasts!
My name is Max Koflin, and I am the person behind Botanic Blessings. I have been blessed to live at the intersection of medicine and nature, owing to my upbringing in a family of dedicated medical professionals. My mother and sister, both doctors, instilled in me a deep respect for the medical field through their relentless commitment and passion for their profession.
With over half a century of life experience, and having observed the miracles of modern medicine up close, I still find myself fascinated by the ancient wisdom of herbs and their uses. Today, my family and I run a small nutrition supplement manufacturing business, a venture that has provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the immense power of natural healing agents.
Yet, Botanic Blessings isn't about selling supplements or promoting our family business. My aim is to share the knowledge and insights I've garnered over the years regarding the healing properties of herbs. This blog is a labor of love, an attempt to build a comprehensive repository of herbal wisdom for those curious about nature's healing arsenal.
There's no hidden agenda here, no strings attached. Just a person with a deep appreciation for the botanical world, hoping to share a slice of that admiration with you.
My Fight with Obesity and High Blood Pressure
The younger version of me could scarf down an extra-large pizza and barely break a sweat. However, as the years caught up, so did the scale numbers and my blood pressure readings, among other things. It wasn't a pretty sight.
One day, while lamenting the dwindling numbers in my bank account and the increasing ones on the scale, I did something a tad bit drastic - I sold my car and bought a bike. Imagine me pedaling to work every day, huffing and puffing like an old steam engine. It was tough, but boy, was it worth it. Now, it's part of my daily routine, and if you can do it, I say go for it!
While all this was happening, I made the personal decision to discontinue my blood pressure medications. Gradually, I altered my caffeine habits, reducing my coffee intake to a single cup each morning and replacing subsequent cups with herbal teas throughout the day.
This led me to explore the addition of various herbs to my teas - mint leaves, Hibiscus, and Cardamom were among the initial ones I tried. The transformation didn't occur overnight, but with each passing week, my health improved. Now, I’ve completely stopped taking my blood pressure medications, though I must caution that such an approach may not work for everyone.
But there's more. For close to a decade, I've been flu-free - no colds, no runny noses, nada! I have a strong conviction that along with my daily riding, my health owes much to herbs like "Cat’s Claw" and "Echinacea" I've integrated into my lifestyle.
What This Blog Is, And What It Isn’t
Work In Progress
There are a lot of ideas that I’d like to share with you. But writing and creating images takes a lot of time. So, it's a work-in-progress. For now, this blog is just a little acorn. I hope, one day, it’ll grow into a majestic tree.
Don’t be hating
This space is about sharing, learning, and growing together. It's not a platform for politics or socio-economic debates. Just good, old-fashioned, authentic conversation about all things herbal.
Enjoy
So join me on this journey. Let's explore, let's learn, and let's work towards a healthier, happier life together. Welcome to my corner of the internet.
