Just a note, here at the beginning of this blog, to tell you how much we have appreciated the support of so many of you for Butterfly Express, LLC and its companion company, Butterfly Expressions, LLC. So many of you, both long-time and more recent customers, feel like friends or family!
Every purchase, every kind word, and every recommendation means the world to us. Your support has helped us enjoy the good times and weather some difficult days over the years. Your support has helped us grow and helped us be able to continue doing what we pictured in our minds all those years ago. From its tiny beginnings in my home’s kitchen as I tried to share with others the things our family was learning by study and experience (translate ‘experience’ to ‘illnesses’ and ‘accidents’, please), through hundreds of classes held here and, now, to all that happens here every day, your support and kindness has made it a joy to us!
I feel very blessed and very grateful. My heart is full this Thanksgiving season for all of you, and I wish you and your families the best of everything in the years to come!
As I have said often and with emphasis over many years, “All drugs have side effects!”
As an introduction to this section on Alternative Pain Management, I am including parts of an “FDA Drug Safety Communication” issued on July 9, 2015. If you wish to read the entire communication (with pages of additional information for patients and consumers and even more information for Health Care Professionals along with a comprehensive Data Summary) I am providing the link to the FDA announcement itself on the U.S Food & Drug Administration’s web page.
This statement certainly is true of the drugs used for pain management, as is illustrated by these statements taken from the FDA website itself. The use of herbs, essential oils, and Blessed Water or Homeopathic remedies is an effective and safe way to manage pain.
In September we will be talking about FIRST AID. We will cover a long list of minor things that Dr. Mom might deal with on a day to day basis. We will discuss cuts, burns, headaches, colds, diarrhea, allergy symptoms, anxiety, and so so so many more. Our discussion will include essential oils, herbs, minerals, and blessed waters. Please see the index at the bottom of the blog for a complete list of topics.
