I had a restless night. Seemed to wake up every hour, with too much on my mind. It has been 3 months since my husband passed away and I think the grief and reality is sinking into my brain. I can’t do anything about the circumstances that are keeping me awake, but I can take some herbs to help me process it all and relax more. Here are a few that I am considering and they might help you too.
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.

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.
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!
This year has held a lot of sickness: flu, coughs, pneumonia. In the shop the immune system shelves were looking empty, so I have ordered in new stock to make sure we are prepared. Please stop in and pick up a little extra, just in case. Here are some ideas of products to always have on hand to boost your immune system.
