When we started learning to read we had to start with the basics: A B C D E F G, you know the rest. And we built upon that. Putting letters together...creating sounds... making words then sentences.

Owning your health journey is the same way. But many of us have forgotten about that. Water. Fruits. Vegetables. Sunlight. You know. The basics.

I wanted to start the first share about that.

In a world full of quick fixes and fads, true health still starts or restarts with the basics. And I want to take a moment to share my thoughts on them as well as scratch the surface beneath them.

Something vibrationally-powerful is about to happen with these roses.

They'll connect with some water and align to the energy of the sun. They'll spend a few moments in a quartz crystal singing bowl.They'll connect with Reiki energy.They will rest in all of that. Just for a spell.Then, all of that 🌹 love will be placed in smoke-cleansed bottles for someone special.

Roses offer several health benefits and here are three of them:

🌹Rich in Antioxidants:: Rose petals are packed with antioxidants like vitamin C, polyphenols, and flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and support the immune system.

🌹Anti-inflammatory and Antibacterial Properties:: Rose water and rose extracts have natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, making them useful for soothing skin irritations, reducing redness, and supporting wound healing.

Well, don't let it affect your household cleaning regimens. You just might have everything you need in your home apothecary. These funky, little berries can help save you a lot of $$$ and help improve you and your family's health.

What am I talking about?

These small, berry-like fruits contain saponin, a natural surfactant that cleans gently but effectively. Bonus: they’re biodegradable, eco-friendly, and perfect for sensitive skin!

Inquiring minds want to know who's loving that temporary paint job courtesy of Mother Nature.

Well, we can't offer herbal remedies to help keep your vehicle clean... oh wait we can...Soapnuts. That's a conversation for another day. But we can talk about some remedies to support your body with managing your current health experiences. 🤧

🌿Nettle aka Stinging Nettles – A natural antihistamine that helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, and itching.

I want to first start the conversation with a textbook definition of an herb: "a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities" ( Merriam Webster Dictionary).

So, in other words, leaves, seeds, flowers, stems and roots can all be labeled as an herb. Lots of possibilities. And to add herbal frosting to this vegan cake, there's LOTS of herbs out here. A bountiful of healing possibilities.

So, you've tried an herb. Followed the instructions to prepare it. Followed the recommendations. And nothing happened. It's common. Herbs are simple. Our bodies, though, are not. They can range from hot and dry to cold and damp. And understanding those factors plays a huge part in how herbs make a difference in supporting our bodies.

Now, I'm often asked "do you have an herb for XYZ? " Easy answer, yes BUT there's always follow up questions. Why? Becaus…

🤷🏾‍♀️Don't know if it's a word but are you sitting in the living room watching the snow fall again, feeling bored. What a great time to shift the energy towards healing🥰
