| September 4 | 2023 NATURAL REMEDIES FOR "EVERY DAY" ISSUES Photo: Experience Life I placed "every day" in quotes because it is a seemingly universal mindset that getting sick is a natural occurrence or part of aging. When we take care of ourselves naturally on a daily basis, we can hopefully avoid getting sick. The best thing you can do for your health is to exercise regularly and eat a natural diet that is full of fruits, veggies, and clean proteins; staying away from fried and processed foods, sugars, and eating out. Everything starts with what you are putting in and on your body, but here are some natural ways to deal with those ailments that may pop up for whatever reason. It is always important to do further research on natural herbs to make sure they are safe to use while pregnant and/or on medications, but they are worth the long-term health investment. Herbs listed can be used to make teas and tinctures, essential oils can be used topically and in diffusers, and supplements and herbal teas can be taken/made as needed. HEADACHES/MIGRAINES Overuse of headache/migraine medication can actually interfere with the brain's ability to communicate with our nervous system, and can make headaches more frequent (Cleveland Clinic). Try these remedies instead. Essential Oils : Head Ease, lavender + rosemary Herbs : lemon balm, mullein, valerian + willow bark Supplements : B Complex, Gingko Biloba, Q-10 + valerian STOMACHACHES/DIGESTION Many antacid/calcium tablets contain unhealthy fillers and unnecessary harmful dyes. Take the more natural route to ease your stomach and aid digestion. Essential Oils : lavender, rosemary + yarrow Herbs : basil, cayenne, chamomile, chives, cilantro, cloves, dill, ginger, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, skullcap + turmeric Supplements/Other : activated charcoal, aloe juice, cayenne, fire tonic, ginger + magnesium citrate Tea : Digestive blend ANXIETY + STRESS Many people become reliant on prescription medications that help regulate anxiety, and these medicines do nothing to solve the root of the problem. There are more natural healthy ways to keep your mind calm. Also, try to take a daily inventory of what you are thankful for in your life - focusing on the positive makes a big difference. Essential Oils : chamomile, Clarity, clary sage, Finding Joy, lavender, Peace of Mind, Relaxing for Health, Relaxing/Soothing + Stress Relief Herbs : chamomile, gotu kola, holy (tulsi) basil, lavender, lemon balm, St. John's wort + valerian Supplements/Other : CBD, Immune+Calm gummies, relax daytime formula + valerian Tea : Stress SOS MUSCLE + JOINT PAIN Just like other prescription medications, muscle relaxers are highly addictive, cause you to be lethargic, and can also cause liver damage. Try these solutions instead. Essential Oils : eucalyptus, Joint Ease, juniper, lavender, Muscle Relief, peppermint + thyme Herbs : cilantro, dill, juniper, thyme + valerian Supplements : MSM + valerian SLEEPLESSNESS Aside from the holistic remedies below, make sure to have your last meal two to three hours before bed, and minimize your screen time in the last hour or two before heading to sleep. Essential Oils : lavender + Sleep Well Herbs : gotu kola, lavender, lemon balm, skullcap, St. John's wort + valerian Supplements : CBD, magnesium glycinate, relax evening formula + valerian Tea : Sleep Ezzz Photo: Sow True Seed SAFFRON CROCUS BULBS + FALL PLANTS Saffron is one of those herbs that make a dish complex and fancy, but man is it expensive.

Fact of the Week: Each saffron crocus flower produces three stigmas that are used as the herb "saffron", and only blooms once per year - this is the reason behind the high price tag of this herb. Saffron can also be used to dye textiles, and can also be used for holistic health. You can read more here. | |
