I'm now ready for the cold & flu season with my own home-made herbal remedies...

I've always wanted to learn how to better identify and use plants as medicine, and this is my year! ⚕️

Since closing Halifax Reflexology, I've been immersed in all things related to Home Economics, and joining the Holistic Herbal Wellness course at the Bloom Institute is one of those things.

Back in the day, herbalism was part of every day life in the household, and using home-made herbal remedies was common practice. 🏘️

Pharmaceuticals were originally derived from plant constituents and had fewer to no side effects.

If we preserve and protect our natural world, we will always have an abundance of food and medicine available to us, made especially for us, as we are part of the natural world as well. 🌿

Here I am attempting to "keep my spirits up" during a very grey winter with my morning dose of fake sunshine 🔆, while drinking mulling spices (think orange peel and cloves with some rosehips thrown in) and reading through gardening books. Oh how I dream of spring 🌼. Why didn't I book a tropical vacation!?? But I must look on the bright side, which is that I'm feeling blessed to hibernate inside a warm and cozy home. 🏠

If I have to live indoors, I need to have plants in every room (even the bathroom) and lots of 'em! I absolutely cannot live without plants. Whenever I'm visiting a new place, the first things I'm looking for are trees, parks, forests or any kind of green space. Me and the plant spirits are in tight. 🌿🪴

I'm learning to make sourdough bread. I almost cried when the first one came out of the oven. 😭 Things were looking up by the third loaf though 🎉 The moral of this story is: don't give up. Perseverance leads to success!

Went for a winter walk on the boardwalk this afternoon. Lots of cosy holiday vibes!

I'm retiring, and I would love to pass the torch on to another Reflexology Therapist who wants to carry Halifax Reflexology into it's fifth year of business.

THE VAGUS NERVE (from )
⠀
A seemingly never-ending branching nerve that connects most of our major organs to our brain 🧠.
⠀
It’s the longest cranial nerve in our body, one for the right side and one for the left. And is largely responsible for the connection for its role as a mediator between thinking and feeling, you know our “gut feeling.”
⠀
The vagus nerve is the “queen” of the parasympathetic nervous system. The “rest and digest” or the nerve. So the more we do things to activate the nerve (like deep ), the most we combat the effects of its opposer, the sympathetic nervous system - the “fight or flight”, rushing around, have to do something, releasing one.
⠀
A few other functions of the vagus nerve, just to name a few:
▪️slows your heart rate and respiration.
▪️lowers blood pressure.
▪️helps with calmness and relaxation.
▪️controls involuntary muscles in the digestive system, therefore, aiding digestion.
▪️taste sensation.
▪️movement function for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech.
▪️gut-brain communication.
▪️reduces inflammation.

Engage it with deep, slow breathing through your nose.
