Lately, I've really been thinking about the foods I eat. Like, a LOT.

I'm trying to notice if when I eat something, I feel badly...why that might be? Or, if something makes my digestive system and body feel great...also, why?

Do you do this too?

Start noticing.

You know, we've been taught that food and medicine each has its own place. Food is for nourishment (hopefully). And medicine "cures" us (I do have to laugh at that, sorry, not sorry).

But...they're separate from each other.

What IF....we started thinking about food and medicine as being one and the same?

For real?

We've all heard Hippocrates' super famous quote, "Let thy food be thy medicine," but truly, I don't think we really pay attention, or maybe we just don't understand what that could really mean for us. For our REAL lives.

Our traditional culinary herbs like basil, black pepper, parsley, fennel, rosemary, and SO many others have some powerful medicinal abilities. They support everything in our body! From digestion and metabolism to immune function, the nervous system, and circulation, and more...these minute and flavorful additions add incredible value to your health.

Herbs are not heroic. Usually.

But they work over time, and they almost always support the body in doing what it was meant to do: heal itself.

I know this because this is how I healed from a plethora of health issues and now feel better at age 62 than I did 25 years ago. And I'm not making that up, nor am I exaggerating. I went from being on a jillion different medications to......none. None at all. Just my blessed herbs for support.

One of the ways I did this was to learn about my body.

I really got in touch with it. I started listening to it. I started paying attention. I identified what my own personal constitution needed, and I chose herbs and formulated accordingly.

ALL of my health issues either went away completely or I manage now naturally. All of them.

This came from understanding my body, the plants, the situations and the inflammatory conditions I was dealing with, and then formulating appropriately for myself.

Do you suffer from coldness in your hands and feet? Or maybe a bit of neuropathy in your extremities? Or do you have low blood pressure or varicose veins?

Many conditions indicate an issue with circulation.

Here is an article about food herbs that may help.

Some of these herbs "disperse" and enhance blood flow to extremities, warming you up. Others enhance oxygen in the blood for nerve support. And others increase your internal body temperature to warm you up a bit.

If you're dealing with cardiovascular issues or venous issues or nerve tissue issues, then you *may* want to do some sleuthing or talk to your doctor about using good medicinal and food herbs to help. (I'm not a doctor, and this is not medical advice....just information.)

​Herbs that Support Healthy Circulation​

It's Spring! It's time to move your lymph!

As the earth awakens in the northern hemisphere, and we feel our bodies also become more energized...this is the time to do a few things to get the lymph fluid moving in your body.

It's normal during the cold, dark winter months to slow down, and this includes our body systems, too. Sometimes we become stagnant. Well, spring is the perfect time to help our system wake up again!

Beneficial lymph flow is vital to our health. If you've ever had a swollen lymph node, you've experienced the painfulness of stagnation and too much toxic sludge as your body does its best to get things moving.

When I feel a cold or flu coming on; or if I'm feeling the beginning pangs of an ear ache, or a plethora of other kinds of things, I consider my lymph as well as my immune system. Is everything working?

One thing I really love is to use my essential oils as well as a couple of great herbal infused oils to support the flow of lymph in my body.

Here's an older video I made about this, and although it's older, it's still a REALLY good one. The formula I share in it is exceptional, and I've gotten many compliments on it over the years.

Enjoy!

The Lord is my shepherd,

For His name’s sake.
