Most business owners begin for mere profit. Of course profit is essential but the real reason Herbal Health Stop opened their doors was because the entrepreneur himself was plagued with allergy and sinus infections for years.

Back in 1992, Jim Engel had received an early retirement package after 11 years of service in the Air Force. Soon, Jim was working as a government inspector. Allergy season kicked in with a full fledged, run of the mill, sinus infection.

" I remember it like it was yesterday, my wife saying, "Go to the doctor,' I'm saying, 'No, I want to give this a try.' I rubbed Tei-Fu essential oils on my neck and under my nose, I took two capsules of ALJ every hour except while sleeping, drank herb teas
-you name it, I was taking it. My wife, Sue, a registered nurse, was wondering if I had lost my mind.

"After six days of fighting this infection, it finally cleared. I felt better than I had before the infection. Years of taking prescription drugs for allergy/sinus infection had ended and since 1992, I have not taken one medication for sinus or allergy.

"Soon after I saw the benefits of holistic health, I quit my government job, attended Tarrant County College and opened my own Herbal Health Shop in Crowley, Texas October 1996. I have never looked back and since then have become a certified herbalist, iridologist, teacher of herbalogy and a graduate of the Amercian Health Science University certified nutritionist (CN).

"Education is paramount and continuing education is necessary to be the best Herbal Health Stop in town. I look forward to meeting you."
