How often have you felt frustrated because you don’t feel well but the doctor says you’re fine?

​

This is your energy (Qi), your body trying to communication something to you.

​

How?

The body is constantly broadcasting information:

Brain → organs: autonomic regulation, stress responses, circadian rhythms

Gut → nervous system: microbiome metabolites, vagal tone, inflammatory signals

Heart → hormonal system: heart-rate variability, baroreceptor feedback, endocrine modulation

Senses → mind: perception, threat detection, emotional meaning-making

​

But we are so much more than just parts!

The body is inherited; tissues, genes, epigenetic tendencies, structural patterns. The animation of that body, the thing that makes it alive rather than inert matter, comes from our Creator.

It is up to each of us to not mess things up too badly.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.

Less fun fact:

CoQ10:
an order for new parts and a healthier heart.

One question I get a lot is:
​
“Are Milky oats the same as Oatstraw,
oat groats or oatmeal?”
​
The short answer is - not really.
​
When you look into the Materia Medica of Oats (Avena sativa)
you’ll see:
​
Parts Used – stems, seeds flowers
Energetics - moist, neutral temperature
Taste – salty
Plant properties - relaxing nervine, nutritive

​​You can use it for: nervous system exhaustion or burnout, and more!

One of the more popular questions I have received in the past is "How do I build an apothecary?" This is usually followed by "I love yours and want to build something just like it!" My answers to these questions may surprise you but then again, if you have your own home apothecary, maybe they won't....

Tuesdays are for nutrition:

Taurine is an amino acid found in seafood and shellfish.

It supports:

- a balanced nervous system

- healthy immune system

- hydration

- calcium regulation on a cellular level

- promotes eye and liver health

Comment and let me know which ones of these are you favorite?

Scallops, Mussels and Clams, Tuna and Tilapia Salmon, or Whitefish?

Did you know?

Herbalists have many relaxing nervines at our disposal, including those specific to anxiety.
​
However, many of these can cause drowsiness (like Valerian, Kava, and Hops).
​

This means skullcap tinctures stand apart!
​
They can relieve acute anxiety without causing drowsiness, lethargy, or foggy thinking.
​
​
Want to learn more?

Skullcap is one of the herbs we will be diving into during our next in person workshop.

Our goal and hope is to help you build a well-rounded Home Apothecary and learn more about Herbal Medicine for the home.

Did you know that the word "Disease" is a combination of two words? "Dis" and "Ease"

"Dis" can also mean "the opposite processes, qualities, or states" and "Ease" is the absence of difficulty or effort.

What does this mean? Disease - any absence from health.

Imagine if you had a road map of sorts, a path to take that would lead you to the "Ease" of health and skip the "Dis" portion.
