I have been hollering these facts at the top of my lungs for 15 years!!

Please know that herbs can help vitality and can be “supplemental” nutrition sources but IT ALL STARTS WITH YOUR DIET!!!

If you want to age “healthfully” without being on pharmaceuticals, you CANNOT eat a mainstream grocery store diet! There is no way to be healthy this way.

Forget what the “media” tells you is healthy - dig into what a healthy diet really means. And yes, you can radically change your diet. And yes, you can do that long term.

Embrace health as your reward instead of a sugary snack for your reward. Change your mindset and you will change your health! ❤️🌱❤️

I find this interesting, except for the part where they want to create a v a x to combat it. You want to know what will combat EBV? Anti viral herbs!

When I was 30 I went through a period of time where I constantly had swollen glands, tonsils the size of golf balls, and felt like death. I ultimately ended up getting my tonsils taken out before I got pregnant with my son. It was then that I was diagnosed with EBV and I was told that removing my tonsils would solve all my problems.

I had been taking oregano oil for years but it stopped being as effective as I needed it to be, so I had my tonsils taken out.

Fast forward a few years, still felt like junk. I was always sick and if I got stressed…I was in bed for a week!! The oregano oil wasn’t enough so I looked for herbs that were specific to EBV and viruses. And I found them! Artemisia annua, Olive Leaf and Black Seed! And Cat’s Claw is an excellent tool to fire up my immune system when a flare is coming on.

I honestly haven’t had a bad flare in over 15 years and I attribute it to taking herbs faithfully. EBV has been linked to cancers and other disease so I definitely want to keep mine under control!

If you deal with EBV and want to keep it under control without always being on antibiotics, please reach out!! I have a blend for flares and I have a maintenance blend! I also recommend a clean eating plan, as that is the basis for all health!!

Please read this article and do some research on EBV 🌱❤️🌱

The Epstein-Barr virus, one of the most common in the world, could be the cause of lupus, an autoimmune disease with wide-ranging symptoms, according to a study.

With all this information coming out about acetaminophen (tylenol), a lot of people have contacted me about an herbal alternative, especially in regards to childrens’ fevers.

Here is my answer: Catnip! Yes, the same plant that drives some cats wild!

Catnip is an amazing herb that not only optimizes fevers, helping them do their job of killing viruses and bacterias, it also helps the person feel more cool and comfortable while they have a fever. And when the fever has done its job, catnip will break the fever, leaving you feeling better and already on the road to recovery!

Catnip is antiviral, a diaphoretic and febrifuge (makes you sweat out a fever), sedative and nervine. So what does all of that mean for when you’re sick? And when your babies are sick and crying and need relief? It means calming, cooling, sleep-aiding relief and extra fighting power!

Everyone with children (and adults can use this too!) should have catnip tincture onhand to reach for instead of liver-harming meds!!!

Having herbal tools in your toolbox before you get sick means that you will never be tempted to grab the poison and that is a HUGE way that we recover natural health and teach it to our children!!!! ❤️🌱❤️

First fire of the season….Dale cleaned the chimney, I cleaned the stove. Dale, the master fire builder, started the fire.

This is THE ONLY THING good about winter. Period. I said what I said.

Did some hiking in the woods on our “weekend off”, got some extra rest and just enjoyed some rejuvenation time with my wonderful husband.

I’m back in the shop tomorrow (Tuesday) but I have a lot to catch up on so be patient with me pls 🥰. I may be a little out of touch bc of trying to catch up but I will get back with all messages. Have a great week everyone!!

Ps: the “things” on the legs of my pants are not ticks!!! They are what my dad used to call “booger lice”. They’re the grabby seeds of native plants and they’re a pain in the butt to get off, but that’s the price you pay for hiking off trail and foraging 😂😂😂

Why aren’t we making it easy for small farmers to grow h**p these days? Oh, right, it’s too healthy and too good for the earth!! 🙄

Happy Sunday Morning!

In case you think “natural flavoring” is ok, think again. This whole list is gross but natural flavoring is one that slides under the radar most times!!! 🤮🤮🤮
