Emotional healing Techniques- We cannot Heal Physically without Healing Emotionally. Here are some amazing ways to heal emotionally.
I set out to make this post as a reference but as I kept going, I realized how CRAZY it can be to supplement just one nutrient. You can create so many different imbalances with just one isolated mineral or vitamin. It reminds me of that "Pharma" shirt meme that goes around: 'I take this drug for this illness, and I take that drug for the side effects of the first drug." Isolating nutrients is very allopathic in my eyes, especially when most people have around a dozen deficiencies and imbalances.
Vitamins: what we need them for, where to find them, and why food is much better than any isolated supplements you can find.
It's been quite awhile since I did an herbal spotlight, and I just knew that I needed to do one on Ginger Root health benefits. I have always been drawn to ginger personally, and I feel like it is one of my favorite herbs overall. It is such a common, "simple" spice that it tends to get overlooked for the powerhouse that it is. Ginger is truly a powerful helper for gut healing, lymph support, and so much more.

When I was 17, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after almost a year of severe head-to-toe pain, digestive issues, depression, sleep issues, massive weight gain, and so much more. I went to so many doctors and specialists and got nowhere fast. Sleep studies, countless prescriptions, countless other tests- all just to be told it's fibromyalgia, there wasn't anything they could do other than try new prescription drugs until I found one that worked. Looking back, I now know what the big triggers were: I had moved out of my house and was very stressed about it (I was still in high school!) and I had also started using the birth control pill. These were the cherries on top of my personal perfect storm that was brewing internally for years. If only I had known about a natural fibromyalgia treatment back then!
What are adaptogens? Adaptogens can be SUPER helpful for those healing from adrenal issues. We use the HTMA and symptoms to determine the best formula for you. By definition, adaptogens have non-specific and normalizing effects on the body- they are not meant to be used to lower/raise cortisol (that is an allopathic way to look at adrenal health). They are meant to support the adrenals under times of stress so that they can function better.
Elderberries are one of the best immune boosters out there. There is a lot of evidence that elderberry syrup is so strong that it is an effective treatment for the flu! Elderberries are high in vitamin C, which we know is a crucial nutrient for immune health. Elderberries are anti-inflammatory but they have a laxative, diuretic, and expectorant properties.
Are we creating a field for allopathic natural health? Why are we still treating symptoms instead of the whole person? Let's change this!

Why is EVERYONE dealing with something these days? How is it that nearly everyone deals with some sort of chronic health issue, whether it be mild or worse?
Self-care is a term that is growing in popularity lately and honestly there is good reason for it. As people start healing from chronic illnesses, they are starting to realize the importance of actually caring for oneself properly in the process. We start to realize that we have not been kind to ourselves, physically or mentally. We've never been taught that it is ok to love oneself, nor how to actually do this. I've put this post together because I think self-care, self-love, and changing our mindset are all incredibly important and these 3 things are all related.
