Spring Health

Spring Health

As spring starts emerging with warmer days
and new growth popping up from the earth
it is a refreshing time to enjoy new beginnings!

Traditionally, spring is a time to naturally
and gently detox from the heavier meals of winter.
The earth is full of many herbs and wild weeds that
not only detoxes our body but feeds our body 
with minerals.

 Also, in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic
I will be adding some information from 
trusted sites.

 Building our Immune System
in every season is essential to
living a healthier lifestyle and prevention 
of various viruses.

Cold and Flu Season is upon us. How can we help our body to remain healthier during  this season?  One recipe that our family uses as a preventive measure and as a remedy during illness is Fire Cider.

"Fire Cider" is a term that renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar made popular through her many books, classes, herb courses and teachings.

Elderberry Syrup Preparation I love making herb and food medicinal preparations! It amazes me that herbs, spices and wholefoods can actually tone and strengthen your body to heal itself in many situations. As an herbalist, it is so much fun to share with others  the amazing benefits of incorporating herbs, spices  and whole foods into one's daily health plan. We are not quite through the winter season here in Missouri. Even though the days are getting longer, they can still be dreary and cold!  Getting out and about in the winter  weather is quite challenging at times.  But, there is beauty during the winter as well.  It is a needful time for nature, and it is a needful time for people. Nature is resting.  It is her season to be quiet and withdrawn. Her roots are preparing for spring.  The natural way of things for people during the winter season, is a time of rest and reflection. It is a time to physically replenish with warming nutriti

  Winter Garden The gardens are beautiful in every season. I appreciate living in the mid-west where we have all four seasons to enjoy. Winters can be harsh here in Missouri, but they are also beautiful. I like to go with the flow of the seasons with my health and wellness path. Winter is a great time of nourishing rest for our bodies. Winter is the season for eating slow foods and drinking nourishing hot drinks. I am a certified herbalist. But, I do not re-invent the wheel when it comes to herbal education. I love to share other herbalist information. Here are a few links that are excellent reads for the season of winter health and wellness: Wintergreen Botanicals  shares about choosing the right immune support for your needs.
