Nature is the Best

 I have been asked about what I do for my health that is natural.  I do a lot of things - but will list a few today.  There are so many things that this earth gives us that is so very helpful for our health.  Our earth is awesome.  God has said that he has given us everything we need on the earth - I believe it.

I am not against conventional medicine, as I know many depend it and use it.  I - however - try to stay away from it.  We all use our judgement and have our own opinions. 

I am in no way trying to change someone's mind nor am I criticizing - so I hope everyone follows suit.

I eat lots and lots of carrots and beans.  Tomatoes have to be a favorite of mine.  Fresh fruits and veggies are just so healthy.  I like fresh as often as possible as we have not cooked anything out of it.  Ever tried eating fresh green beans or asparagus?  I love both!!!!  Sounds crazy - but I prefer the taste of fresh.  There are not many fruits and veggies I don't like.

I eat oranges or drink orange juice absolutely every single day - fresh Vitamin C!!!!!!  I do keep vitamin C around - just in case - but fresh citrus is just something I crave.

I keep honey around all the time.  IF I would start to get a sore throat - that is my go to.  A spoonful of honey soothes and heals the throat.  (honey has been used since Biblical days).  I take turmeric capsules every day and often times tart cherry capsules.  

There are certain foods like broccoli that are great for cancer patients.  They contain natural chemicals that boost immune system.  (Do your food research)

I use garlic and salt all the time as well as onion which is healthy.  I know many who swear by black coffee for migraines (or Coke which isn't natural) - it is the caffeine that helps I believe.

I sure have used cloves in the past for a toothache.  Boy does it numb!

Herbs and vitamins of all types are great for the body.  I keep Aloe Vera capsules, gel and juice on hand 100% of the time.  It is so very healing both inside and outside of the body.  If I am having belly issues - I drink the juice and take the capsules (have given to my cats as well) and I keep the healing gel on hand for skin abrasions of all sorts.  Healing time is minimal when using it.

I keep Echinacea & Goldenseal on hand always.  IF I start to feel like I am getting a cold or something, I start taking immediately and it never gets very far.  I use Echinacea once a day with my cats as well (outside cats).  Sometimes kitties get colds or get an infection - they heal in no time.  I sprinkle a little in their wet food and mix in.

I also keep and use CBD oil.  It truly helps.  It is an anti-inflammatory.  If I have over done it or just have back/muscle pain for whatever reason - I take it.  I use this on my Momma cat as well.  She sometimes gets inflamed gums (she is old) and this prevents it.  Again I sprinkle in wed food once a day.  Many people do give this to pets - especially older animals or big dogs that have hip problems.  It is amazing how well it helps.

I know some find CBD - voodoo medicine - but it works & it is natural.  When hubs was here - it made a tremendous difference in the pain he had in his back and legs (from sitting and not being able to walk).  He received so much relief.  I have sprained and strained muscles - and the relief was  wonderful and quicker healing.

I take Vitamin D3, Vitamin C (if I have no fresh citrus),  and Vitamin E every day.

I keep many other things on hand for occasional use IF I feel like I am getting ill in some way.  Reishi mushroom capsules are always in my herb cabinet - they help immune system.

I use fresh herbs from the garden and 'weeds' that are beneficial as well.

I grown thyme, chives, lemon balm (makes great calming tea), mint (great soothing on bellies).  I pick and use purslane in salads - then there is nettles, dandelion,  and many others.

Natural health aides is something everyone should look into.  I mean even modern day aspirin came originally from willow bark.  Our ancestors knew all the things to use.  The early people of our lands knew what to use, where to find it and how to use it effectively.  Then big pharma took over and started putting a lot of chemicals in our bodies - and we followed along.

I agree there are diseases that needed that big pharma fix - natural didn't help.  

Don't get me wrong I am not anti  medicine.  Not at all.  There are times and things that are necessary.

Take time to do some research - you may be amazed.  A healthy diet can make a world of difference to our every day lives - we each so much processed food/junk and that can't be good (we all do it).

There are many natural items that truly do offer relief.

I hope this answers a few questions, as to what I do.
