Is Your Body Broken?

Is Your Body Broken?

Allopathic medicine and Natural medicine look at the body in different ways. Allopathic medicine says that the body is broken and needs medical intervention to fix it. Natural medicine believes that the body has an amazing ability to heal itself; the body is working, let’s give it the nutrients and support it needs to function properly. These two views sometimes contrast drastically in the way they would treat an illness.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Do you need to find some balance in your emotions? There is SO much going on in our world right now! It is common to feel anxious and fearful of what the future holds.

Harvesting Lavender

Harvesting Lavender

Stop by the shop to get a bunch, as it will go fast. I like to put it in my closet or dresser drawer to make things smell nice. Or maybe you want to put some under your pillow to help you sleep. You can also make a lavender syrup to use for a “special” mixed drink or to add to lemon-aide.

Release Your Fears

Release Your Fears

Fear is sometimes a good emotion, it makes us protect ourselves and our family. Fear can also become a harsh master, keeping you from living a full and happy life. How do we find the balance, how do we find a healthy amount of fear, without it running our life?

Lisa's Favorite Herb for 2020 - Mullein

Now is the time to harvest this fabulous herb! Mullein grows wild in Ohio and in many other states. I have seen it in Colorado and Utah. The first year it grows as a simple rosette of leaves, soft and fuzzy. The second year it sends up a stalk, anywhere from 2-8 feet tall.

When you have a wound, let it bleed a bit, that will help to clean it out. Don’t panic. Remember that facial wounds may bleed profusely. I usually will wash off the wound with running water and use colloidal silver on it to disinfect the wound.

Checklist for Finding Balance

Checklist for Finding Balance

As a culture, we are feeling anxious. And why not? Our whole world has been turned upside down. No job, no money, no social life, instantly home educating, too much family, too much at home…I mean, you can only clean house SO much. Then when we do get to go out, we put on a mask, a continuous reminder of how much danger we feel and how we want to hide ourselves from it.

Need a Good Book to Read?

Need a Good Book to Read?

We have now been under the “stay at home” order for over 3 weeks. Are you running out of projects to do? Closets and cupboards are clean and organized, maybe even the basement and garage too! I went thru photos and organized albums for the first time in a few years…yeah, there were a LOT of photos. My husband helped me to mulch our garden beds. I was delighted to find a local greenhouse offering FREE delivery. I was happy to support their small business and get my mulch done too. We are all in this together!
