August 2022 – Concentration and Learning

In August we will be talking about concentration and learning.  I love the quote “Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.”

As we prepare for another school year it is a perfect time to study natural things that will aid in concentration, and improve the learning experience.  Our discussion will include oils, herbs, minerals, and blessed waters.  We will cover a wide range of topics including ADHD, memory aids, confidence, and fear of failure.  Please see the index at the bottom for a more complete list of topics.

July 2022 – Burns, Sunburns, Heat Exhaustion and the Great Outdoors

In July we will be talking about the amazing natural remedies for burns, sunburns, heat exhaustion, and other things you might need when spending time in the great outdoors. Learn about miracle salve (it really is miraculous) lavender, and neutralizer for the best sunburn relief ever. Did you know essential oils make amazing bug repellents and there are some great ones for treating bites too? This is where the Blessed Waters really shine.

June 2022 – Gut Health

In June we will be talking about gut health. Having a healthy digestive system is important.   So much of our health depends upon nutrition – not just what we eat, but how what we eat is digested and absorbed (or not absorbed as the case may be).   A healthy gut plays an important part in immune health.

May 2022 – Pain, Nerves and Muscles

In May our topics are Pain, Muscles, and Nerves.  We will be discussing many things such as bruising, circulation, Charley Horses, cramps, inflammation, headaches, and even some emotional situations that are made worse by nerves such as anxiety and depression.

April 2022 – Cleansing and Cleaning

In April our topics are cleaning and cleansing.  This blog is full of many great products and ideas that you can use to clean your house, do your dishes, laundry, cleanse the air, and eliminate odors.  And we aren’t just focusing on cleaning your house.  A large part of this blog is dedicated to cleaning and cleansing your body, mind, and emotions.  Learn about oils, tinctures, blessed waters, and other products that you can use to cleanse and detox your body, helping you to feel healthier and happier.

March 2022 – Allergies

When we hear the term allergy, most people think of such symptoms as a runny nose, red and watering eyes, swelling of some tissues somewhere, rashes, hives, or some other form of itching.  With no distinction made, the term allergy is also used to refer to more serious reactions to substances.  More serious reactions include headaches, heart palpitations, and, eventually, anaphylactic shock.  Among those who work with allergies, these two sets of symptoms are considered to be very separate categories with two separate names.  This is true both in the medical world and among “alternative” practitioners, as well.  The names most commonly used to distinguish the two categories are allergy and intolerance.  Intolerances are sometimes referred to as sensitivities.  More information can be found in the blog.

February 2022 – Depression, Anxiety, and Self-Esteem

In February our topics are DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, and SELF-ESTEEM.  This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart.  There is always a need but it seems that this time of year there is a particular need for things to combat depression and anxiety.  I have tried to pick the products that have been the most helpful to me over the years and I hope these things will help you as well.

Jan. 2022-Self-Improvement and Self-Love

I am really excited about the things I have picked to discuss this month.  When my team and I decided to focus on SELF-IMPROVEMENT and SELF-LOVE so many wonderful products came to mind.  We had a hard time narrowing the list down to our favorites.  I can’t wait to share them with you. January is often a time when we take stock of our life and set goals for improvement so this seems like a great time to discuss Self-Improvement and Self-Love.  This blog is still likely to get long so I have included a LIST OF COVERED TOPICS  I hope this helps you quickly find the information you are looking for.

Tendonitis
