This is the beginning of a journey. As I age, I find that the journey has a few more rocks and pot holes. I have always been interested in natural remedies to physical issues. It is not necessarily a distrust of the medical field, but an intimate relationship that I have with my body and its functions.
If we take the time to listen to our bodies we can often determine what or where our issues originate. I am a big believer in treating the cause not just the symptom. An example is when we have rashes; in order to treat the rash correctly we really need to know what caused it. If it is food borne we need to identify the offending food and remove it from our diet rather than continuing to treat the rash time after time.
As we start our journey I want to make sure to set some ground rules. First, I am not a Doctor and will NEVER give a prognosis or try to identify a medical issue. Second, I will not prescribe a medical cure or product for a particular medical issue. What I can provide is information and resources as well as anecdotal experience from a 1st person perspective. The article that I write will be natural plant based solutions that I have tried personally with the original issue as well as my outcome.
So, take the time to get to know you in your own skin. Maybe do a little research into your genetic makeup and check out previous generations. I do not mean get a DNA test necessarily, what I do mean is talk to parents, Aunts and Uncles, etc and try to collect allergies, diseases, etc that may affect you through genetics. Not only are we what we eat, but we are also a product of our DNA.
I hope you enjoy the journey. Please let me know what you are interested in and I will research it for future blogs.
