My Parasite Treatment...

I use a parasite cleansing herbal tincture twice a year for about 3 weeks. Lately I’m using a herbal tincture of boldo and curcum which is a known folk remedy for infections and parasites of the stomach and the intestines (a three week treatment). I’m used to the bitter taste so I just take it straight and swish it around in my mouth for about 30 seconds so it can absorb into my system through the inside of...

Why I finally paid for something to help my blog i...

I don’t even know how to start this post. I’ve never written anything like this, and I’m only writing this now because this is the last day to experience this at $42 off the normal price and I want more health bloggers to join me there! I came across Katie’s banner ad somehow and I guess seeing this young woman my age succeed made me act. I have never bought anything that promised to bring more...

What Dr.Oz doesn’t mention about Vitamin D...

Getting enough Vitamin D is all the rage lately. Heck, I’ve even heard talk about forgoing sunscreen because it may interfere with your vitamin D intake! The famous Dr. Oz speaks in the video below stresses the importance of Vitamin D and wearing sunblock, but he fails to mention that most sunscreens are unsafe and how to choose a natural one. I already wrote about that a few years ago here. So to wear sunblock...

What Are The Health Benefits Of Cabbage?...

Cabbage is a strong and sturdy vegetable that is abundant in almost all cultures and countries. Unfortunately, many American families don’t buy cabbage. The only form of this vegetable they eat is coleslaw. Coleslaw is loaded with high fat ingredients such as mayonnaise. The only other dish that cabbage normally appears in American household meals is corn beef and cabbage, which is usually eaten on Saint...

My “Spring Health Kick”– the pro...

I have a confession, I’ve never felt the most unhealthiest than I do now. I believe in a little help from our super food friends and keeping our nutrition in balance, but let’s face it– life is stressful and it’s easy to fall off the wagon and drink 3 cups of coffee and one alcoholic beverage daily! Perhaps from this nasty habit, is why my body is feeling achy and inflamed. It’s very hard...

Is your Mineral Makeup as Pure as it Promises? Thi...

I’m not going to name names here, but I was using a very large well known national mineral makeup brand. I loved the coverage of their mineral makeup and it was the most natural, easy to wear, easy to put on no-brainer makeup I ever found! I was generously applying to my problem acne areas and so pleased with the results I was ignoring how itchy and uncomfortable it actually was on my sensitive neck and chin area....

The Sprained Wrist...

It had been a very satisfying day. I worked for the first time in five weeks; a sprained wrist had been preventing me. Still the wrist had not fully healed, there was pain. I was very careful of the way I used that hand when I gave my two clients their massages that day. I do mostly deep tissue therapeutic work, which is taxing enough on a healthy therapist’s body. So I had to find a way to work without re-injuring my...

Endive Quinoa Recipe...

The Endive/Quinoa Recipe Today, I decided to do something a little different with the endives. I lined my dish with them in a pretty circular pattern (they are so beautifully shaped too! And fun to peel away!) making my dish look like an open flower. I think decorating (with) your food is very important. It makes it taste 10 times better, let’s you work up an appetite, and those who think they don’t like eating...

How Not to Get Sick when Flying...

Photo by Pensiero Don’t you hate getting sick from long flights? Feeling completely helpless and unprotected as those around you cough and sneeze knowing you are breathing that? Next holiday season, be prepared! I’ve developed a system that kept me healthy from a grueling trip spanning over 20 hrs flying and 3 climate zones while all those around me were sick and I thought I’d share my secret. What you...

The Unquenchable Thirst...

When summer is upon us one thing is certain, we need water. I don’t know about you, but water alone just doesn’t quench that thirst. When I’m feeling dehydrated, groggy and tired I need something more! Expensive enhanced waters seem to do the trick but the cost adds up and so do the calories due to the higher amounts of sugar! Watermelon offers a replenishing feeling, but not always the most...
