Herbs aren't instant like prescription drugs, they take time. Always

take them for three months before you give up on them. You might

notice an improvement before that, but it can take three months.

Depending on what you are treating and what herb you are using. And

what kind of health you are in

Greetings, everyone!

My name is Rebecca, I’m a mom of two young boys, Draven (3 yrs) and Rowan (1 yr) and husband, Jesse. I'm currently studying to be a holistic practitioner and also run my own business, Lady Frija's Adornments, which reflects our lifestyle and ecological beliefs. We are strict organic eaters and also do our best to remain ecological to Earth. Favorite flower? That is a tough one...I love trillium, bergamot (lemon balm/bee balm species), dandelions, lillies, mayapple and so on. My hobbies are gardening, studying, sewing (I sew renaissance, fairie & spiritual clothing mostly) and hosting dinners...I LOVE hosting parties, especially seasonal parties. My favorite thing to shop for would be one of two things: either when we go to the grocery store (a little whole foods store about 25 miles from our home, the best organic place around!) or fabric shopping....yummy! =) Oh! And we live in Pennsylvania. Glad to be here!

Deb, welcome!

 

Are you familiar with the work of Diane Stein?

She has books on Reiki and books on crystals.

I am not sure if she goes into oils, and since she

is Wicca she may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Anyway, give her a Google, it's a place to start.

Merry Meet everyone!

 

I'm new to this list and just wanted to introduce myself.I'm Laurie,

live in Indiana. Happily marriade, three grown children.

 

I am Wiccan and a high priestess of a coven. I am also a Reiki

Master/teacher. I teach Reiki throughout the week, usually three at a

time in my classes. also teach a beginners crystal class, and a

beginners crystal healing class. And I teach and hold drumming circles.

 

I taught forth grade for twelve years, and left that to work for the

state of Indiana as a Waiver Case Manager for the developmentally

disabled folks out here. February I retired. I felt like a dog chasing

my tail all the time. State cut backs got to be too much.

 

I am currently enjoying retirement. And am working towards opening a

metaphysical shop here within a year.

 

I so love crystals, and continue to stay in awe by their power that

they hold within.

 

I look forward to communicating with you all.

 

In Her Light,

Laurie

Hi Keri and Welcome!

 

I'm Connie a full time mom and licensed massage therapist in S.C. I work *a

little* on clients in my home. I also have 3 kids ages 8, 3, and 9 months;

whew! Yes it's challenging and I have a hard working husband who works long

hours. I have a question for you since you are a dietician!

 

I'm having a terrible time trying to get the older 2 kids to try new foods,

especially the 3 yr. old. They eat a lot of fruit, yogurt, grilled cheese &

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pastas, some veggies but not many, and

groung turkey dishes. Would you consider this to be a healthy diet for them?

They don't get a lot of juice or milk, mostly water. I guess what I'm getting

at, is how do I convince them to TRY NEW THINGS? I feel like they always eat

the same things over and over.

 

Thanks,

Connie

Nice to meet you Jude. I guess I never really introduced myself. I'm Marsha from

NC. I am in my 50's. I used to be a barber and now I am a breeder of yorkies. I

have always focussed on health. I have always tried to take just about

everything in moderation. I am not a health fanatic, but I do watch everything I

eat. Doesn't mean I don't eat some McDonald's fries on occasion, but I still

feel I am fairly cautious and care about what goes into my body. I think

different things work for different people and I definitely feel as though

stress is a HUGE factor in many many illnesses. I believe that massage is an

awesome healing tool, that correct alignment of the body is essential to our

health, and that as individuals, we all need to know ourselves and our own body

and its needs. I also believe that vitamins, herbs, and correct diet plays a

huge role in our health as well. Guess that's enough for now... thanks.

I can tell you that our naturopath

suggests that if you can’t afford to go all organic, focus on the dairy

products.  Toxins cling to fat.

I am new to the group but have really been looking for

alternative

ways to get more info on how to find more organic foods and what items

are most important if you cannot be completely organic. Any advice is

welcome.

[Guest guest]

I have been reading quite a bit about this myself, and it is quite a

dilemma, if your budget will not allow all organic foods. I have

found a few suggestions however that you might find handy. On fresh

fruits and veg., for starters, if you do not or can not grow your

own, buy them from local farmers markets when you can. Seems that

your normal farmer, does not use as many or as much pesticides and

herbicides, as the big growers do. Buy produce that was grown in the

USA, other country's use harmful chemicals that are not even allowed

in the USA. I found a group called Environmental Working Group, they

have a site that you might find interesting. It is foodnews.org they

have a lot of helpful advice there. I did notice that one of my local

grocery stores has started caring more organic foods, and many times

the prices are the same, or slightly higher. You might want to check

around in your area there are certain big chain grocery's, the big WM

for one, that imports a huge % of their fruits and veg. from china. I

used to go to this store a lot, until I found out this info., and now

I hardly ever darken their door for anything. I have not seen the

amount of pesticides in cereal, crackers, etc., so not sure, but my

feeling is the fruits and veg. are the worse. After I seen the % on

the produce, I sure made sure I brought them home, and scrubbed them

really good with natural cleaners. Hope this helps you.

I would never tell someone to focus on dairy products. Milk DOES

NOT DO A BODY GOOD!! This is old school teaching. Check out

www.notmilk.com

 

Cow's milk contains casein in which wood glue is made from. It is

linked to many diseases. Got milk? Got asthma? It is NOT a

good source of calcium because it is an acidic food and a diet high

in acidic foods causes the body to buffer the pH balance by taking

calcium FROM THE BONES. Gee, isn't the USA and Sweden milk

drinking countries? Isn't the USA and Sweden the countries with

high rates of osteoporosis? It actually puts young people on

the road to osteoporosis Imagine that!!!! The nutritionists

of the world need to do their own homework because you are still

learning from old school just like most doctors.

 

The farmer feeds the cows bovine growth hornones (which we get),

then antiotics for the infections, (which we get) - no wonder our

children reach puberty earlier. We also get the pus cells that

the Dept of Agriculture is well aware of. Lots and lots of them.

 

Got WIC? got asthmatic children?

Baby formula - from whey (milk)

email me for altneratives

 

First thing I teach in class is MILK DOES NOT DO A BODY GOOD.

Aloha. . .Tiger Eye is grounding, protective and great for those who are in or

feel they are in isolation from others and a stone that encourages a feeling of

brotherhood or sisterhood with the world at large. Yellowness relates to

self-confidence and connection with one's own power center. Blue Lace Agate

encourages those who are shy to come forward and express their truths gently.

Howlite and Rhodenite are great for discovering source of problems and

eliminating no longer useful patterns. Unakite great for issues relating to

balance within relationships. Hope this is helpful. Our site has more

information about all of above and how they relate to chakras.

Robert, this does not answer your question, but sheds some light on Hawthorne

used for high blood pressure.

 

Dr. Gwen Scott in her article " Natural Medicines for the Times:

 

" Lack of oxygen puts a heavy strain on the heart. As heart disease is already

the leading cause of death in this country, more oxygen loss is truly

catastrophic.

 

There is a remarkable herb that has been used for centuries to strengthen and

regulate heart beat. It is very unusual because unlike most herbs which are

unidirectional, it is bi-directional. This means if the heart rate is high, it

has the ability to lower it. If the heart rate is too slow, it will increase it.

Hawthorne in extract form has given the best results to my clients. It is VERY

important that it contain both the fruit or berries and the flowers. If it has

just one of those in the formula, my clients report that it doesn't work very

well. Again, Herbs, Etc. makes an extract that contains both. "

 

As for growing the tree, just do a Google search on it to find out what climates

and soils it thrives in, and compare to your location.

Hi Robert,

 

Welcome to the forum. I live in London, UK!

 

I'm afraid I'm rubbish at growing plants - perhaps when you buy one from a

nursery - either in your area or on-line - they can advise you on which plant to

buy and how to grow it?

 

Also found this for you which you may find interesting:

Howdy all! I am new to the group and excited to learn so much more about

aromatherapy and all that it entails.

 

I am currently pregnant and have " heard " that things like lavendar (really??)

and peppermint are not good to have around. I hope that's not the case, because

I use my lavendar oil all the time!

 

Thank you for any insight and input and I look forward to being a part of this

group.

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Amanda! Thanks so much for joining us. We have a great group of people

ranging from newbies to authors to educators to small business owners who create

products with essential oils (EO's).

 

As far as lavender in pregnancy... why not? I don't have Martin's 'Plant

Aromatics' safety reference available at the moment so I'm hoping he'll chime in

(as well as everyone else so we can help set your mind at ease)!

 

And thanks for the great massage the other night. You rock!

 

Take care,

Hi Amanda,

 

>I am currently pregnant and have " heard " that things like lavendar >(really??)

and peppermint are not good to have around.

What you have heard is typical aromatherapy hogwash from badly educated

therapists/authors. Both of these oils are used as food flavours and there are

no restrictions on their use in pregnancy. Bearing in mind most toothpaste,

chewing gum, etc. are flavoured with peppermint or similar oils. I am not

advocating their oral use during pregnancy, but if you stick to their use

greatly diluted, not a problem, because then volume you would get in your

bloodstream is minute. Peppermint oil on the skin in later pregnancy is not

such a good idea. It can be a powerful irritant at a time that the skin can

become extra sensitive.

 

There is an article on my website about herbs in pregnancy.
