Many people don’t think twice about the fact that Herbs have been apart of every culture and every medical tradition since the 1st people walked the planet. Herbs have been used to treat everything from the common colds to gastrointestinal issues, from pain and inflammation, to depression and anxiety.
Herbs have been forever entangled into our eating habits by being included in our daily cooking recipes. Using herbs & spices such as thyme, turmeric, garlic, rosemary, and ginger have assisted many people in balancing issues like inflammation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hair loss, & joint pain. Our ever evolving technologies have enabled us to identify valuble micro nutrients, vitamins and minerals found in our foods & herbs and use the benefits of these ancient discoveries of Mother Nature to inspire us to charge in our healing journeys. This major change in our nutritional evolution has layed the foundation for the science of nutrition today.
Holistic nutrition has quickly evolved out of the explosive trend of people using technology along with the combination of easier access to resources and food choices to better there health naturally themselves. Nutritional supplements located in your local store many times use these same agents to address the same health concerns and healing needs of an individual by using those same nutritional supplements that …did I say OFTEN are extracted from mother natures fruits, vegetables, and herbs ( isn’t that funny) BUT they may combine them with unnecessary fillers & chemicals, which we all know can have unintended consequences.
Think of it this way…
Herbs & “all natural supplements only ” act as whole foods and super foods to support the body’s natural regenerative and healing processes and believe it or not certain herbs and there healing agents are used to correct more extreme imbalances in the body with time & consistency.
Did you know that the body has the ability to self-regulate?
The body requires the appropriate conditions and nourishment just like your typical houseplant. The body is powerful and it has many built-in mechanisms that are already there for us and ready to use, all we have to do is crack the code, learn our bodies indiviual needs, and the body has the ability to balance its own imbalances when you create the best environment possible for it to do so. However in holistic living we must care for and stay attentive to every aspect of our bodies healing process the physical body and the emotional body. Just like your favorite houseplant the body cannot regenerated, experience growth, clease itself, or begin the repair process if its under a constant state of stress and poor nutrition.
So, where do you possibly begin? First in foremost lets give credit where credit is due. Can we get a round of applause for Mother Nature Yay!!! She has giving us everything we need now all we have to do is tap into our ancestral wisdom to find out how to apply her many gifts given to us, and that’s what I’m here for.
